Dr. Kaelyn Estenson received her DVM from Oregon State University Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine. Her professional interests include integrative medicine and acupuncture, camelid medicine and surgery, point-of-care ultrasound, and low-stress handling. She also enjoys learning more about being an effective educator and leader by fostering healthy work environments and bridging language and cultural differences. Dr. Estenson firmly believes in supporting the human-animal bond, whether in regard to companion or production animal species and their respective roles in our lives. Being a veterinarian was the best way to accomplish all of this while also satisfying her need for an exciting and engaging work environment. When not caring for pets, she can be found doing paper crafts, painting, drawing, listening to music, reading books, playing video games, and exploring Oregon. Dr. Estenson has also been playing piano for about 8 years and finds music is her favorite form of self-care and self-expression. She currently has one dog, Sheldon, and one puppy, who has yet to be named.

Dr. Alexandra Doi is originally from the Bay Area in California. She graduated from Oregon State University Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine. She has a strong interest in both small and large animal veterinary medicine. Her goal is to try to provide the gold standard of patient care to both sides of the profession. She was one of the cliche kids in kindergarten that hung out with the class chicks and rabbits more than her actual classmates, which started her love of animals. She also really enjoys learning new things. Veterinary medicine is a great way to combine her passion for animals and learning with the added bonus of being able to help others. When not caring for pets, Dr. Doi enjoys sleeping, solving puzzles, drawing, and visiting the coast. She is the proud owner of her sister’s two two-year-old foster failure cats from Philadelphia named Rue and JoJo Bean.

In her free time, Dr. Susannah enjoys reading fantasy and other works of fiction, as well as historical shows and movies. She also hopes to restart horseback riding lessons and improve her equitation skills. A fun fact about Dr. Susannah is that she played rugby in college and enjoys watching team sports and attending horse shows when she’s free. Dr. Susannah is a proud pet owner, including two dogs named Peanut and Charles, two cats named Doug and Bruce, as well as a reptile collection consisting of a bearded dragon (Romeo), a uromastyx (King Tut), a leopard gecko (Storm), and three crested geckos (Hershey, Fuego, and Pongo). She also keeps some invertebrates, including a Chaco Golden Knee Tarantula (Feliz) and a Madagascar hissing cockroach (Clyde). Dr. Susannah is excited to start working with everyone and looks forward to getting to know both established and new clients.

Dr. Alyssa Gallagher earned her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from University College, Dublin, where she discovered her passion for both small and large animal medicine.

Dr. Gallagher grew up surrounded by horses, goats, peacocks, chickens, reptiles, and more. Her childhood gave her a solid foundation in providing care for animals and sparked the curiosity that led her to pursue veterinary medicine. Before attending veterinary school, she worked as a small animal veterinary technician and as a substitute teacher.

Outside of her work, Dr. Gallagher loves spending time hiking, traveling, and exploring new places. She also enjoys reading and relaxing with her pets. She currently shares her home with a retired 13-year-old guide dog and two cats. Her dream is to one day have her own horse again.
