Jamie 

Practice Manager

 

Jamie's roots trace back to Northern Ontario where she gained her appreciation for animals and nature. After obtaining a zoology degree at the University of Guelph, she moved out west to explore and found herself settling in.

Jamie has three four-legged companions: Kneesa and Ben--two scruffy mongrels who accompany her on most of her travels and Poet the polydactyl who keeps an eye on the house while Jamie and the pups are off on their adventures.

Alysha has Marge the cat who can never get enough snuggles and Hiccup the bunny who is generally a grump but does give a lot of kisses. She likes spending time with her pets, family and friends.

Lyndsey

Lyndsey

Receptionist/Veterinary Assistant

Lyndsey is a born and bred Edmontonian who has always had animals in her life.  She knows the most obscure facts that will never need to be known in everyday life, such as a Blue Whale’s arteries are so large that a human could swim through them. 

Lyndsey found her career later in life starting in an emergency vet as a volunteer, after which they hired her on as a TA and she never looked back. Now, she is studying online to become a VA and progress in her career for herself; to teach her daughter that it is never too late to do what you love, find what you love, and go back to school when you’re old enough to remember when kids were the remote control for the TV’s that were in big, wooden, ornate boxes that sat on the floor. 

Lyndsey likes to spend her time with her family and as much time as possible with her daughter. They are always out and about exploring new adventures; Fort Edmonton, the RAM, Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village, at the family lake house, helping her daughter to better herself in school and Ukrainian dancing (as Lyndsey is a retired Ukrainian dancer) and traveling around the province to take her daughter to Ukrainian dancing competitions. Working in the veterinary field is not just a “job” for Lyndsey; it is her second home and second family.

Grace Stemberger

Grace

Veterinary Medical Assistant

Grace has lived in Edmonton all her life: growing up she was always around animals which grew into a passion for the animal profession.  She started off working at various pet stores during high school before attending Lakeland College and completing the Veterinary Medical Assistant program.  Grace has worked with many different species of animals throughout her career, from reptiles and fish, farm animals at college, to marine animals such as sea turtles, sharks and sea lions at Marine Life.  Grace enjoys getting to be part of you pet's experience at the clinic and wants to ensure that are as happy as they can be during their visit.

Grace spends her time after work caring for her rescue puppy, Oakley, a miniature poodle cross, an old kitty named Bella and a 2 year old White Bellied Caique that answers to Murphy.

 

 

George

George

Director of Napping

 

George came to Sifton Park Veterinary Clinic after a short stint at the city pound in 2012. Dr. Braze gave him a second chance at life after she heard he was going to be put down for urinary issues. After responding to medications and being placed on a special urinary diet, George has thrived and now lives at the clinic.

Everyone who comes in knows and loves George and he has become our official greeter.  George rarely leaves his post at the front desk where he can be found fast asleep on his cozy bed (unless he is begging for food).

Mischief Manager 

 

The staff at Sifton Park Veterinary Clinic suffered the sudden loss of Nero back in August of 2021.  It was unexpected and a shock to us all.

Both clients and staff, past and present, will always have fond memories of his escapades.  He will continue to live on in our hearts.
