Dr. Maya Levy
DVM
Dr. Maya Levy has been practicing in the Calgary area for 15 years. Dr. Levy treasures the close connections she has developed not only with the amazing pets she treats but even more, the humans they bring with them to the clinic. Every day at work is a gift because she gets to see the beauty of the human-animal bond. Dr. Levy takes an open and straight forward approach in her work and in her life. But there is always an element of fun and humor. In her spare time, Maya loves to spend time outdoors cycling and hiking, and camping with her two amazing daughters. She has 2 dogs, who can often be seen at the clinic with her, and a cat.

Dr Sandy Bitner
Dr. Sandra grew up in Calgary, and was lucky enough to get a scholarship to study Veterinary Medicine in Grenada, West Indies. Having lived for three and a half years in the Caribbean, and surviving Hurricane Ivan that wiped the island out in 2004, she returned to Alberta where she practiced mixed animal medicine. Sandra has worked all over the province, but is now focused on small animal medicine and calls Didsbury home. Education on how to keep client’s furry loved ones healthy and happy are a major focus for her now.
Prior to her “late in life” career change to veterinary medicine, she worked as a senior research associate at the Foothills hospital and was involved with research in Cardiology, Neurology, Respiratory Medicine, Oncology and Organ Donation. Sandra spends down time with her husband Chris, their 4 rescue dogs, 4 pot belly pigs, 3 cats and rabbit !! She looks forward to meeting you at the clinic and helping you take care of your pets.
Donna – Clinic Manager
Donna comes to us from the United Kingdom ( not that her accent gives that away the moment you speak with her 🙂 ) She has been with the clinic many years and is happy to help with pretty much anything. When not at the clinic she is busy at home with her 2 horses – Mercedes & Summer and her 3 dogs – Skye, Luna and Bowie. If there is any spare time left over she loves DIY projects and decorating.
