After graduation she spent a year and a half working in a small clinic in Durham, Ontario treating equine and small animal patients. She joined the Goldenvale team at the beginning of 2013. Steph grew up in Newmarket, and is excited to return and be able to provide veterinary care for patients in her home town. She currently resides in Stouffville with her husband and two children, her dogs (Winnie and Tucker), and cat (Piper). She spends her free time playing hockey, soccer, and riding her horse (Guinevere).
Dr. Alexsis Bhambrah graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in the Spring of 2020. Ever since she was a young girl, she has wanted to help animals in need. She is grateful to be a part of the world of veterinary medicine and to work with clients to provide the best quality service and care for their furry loved ones. Dr. Bhambrah is passionate about cardiology, shelter medicine, and exotic animal medicine. She currently resides in East Gwillimbury with her husband and her fur family which includes a little Australian Shepherd (Raven), a handsome Golden Retriever (Brian), a talkative Tabby (Zoey), and a playful Ragdoll (Ellie). In her spare time, she likes to cook, watch movies, and go on hikes with her dogs.
Jill graduated from the Seneca Veterinary Technician program in 1991 and has been here at Goldenvale ever since! Having been here the longest, Jill basically runs the clinic and keeps the rest of us in line! She loves spending time with her two daughters and their families, including her two grandchildren. When Jill isn't at Goldenvale you can find her out riding either her motorcycle or her horse.
Denise joined Goldenvale at the beginning of 2013. She has had pets her entire life making the clinic feel just like home. She loves coming to work and spending the day interacting with a variety of animals and their owners. She shares her home with her dog (Mavis), and her cat (Owen). She spends her free time with her three daughters, Amanda, Jessica, and Rebecca, and her three grandchildren Ella, Carter, and Briar.
Jen joined the Goldenvale team in December 2020. A former Graphic Designer, she decided to put away her crayons and pursue her passion working with animals. She enjoys watching her cat (Megatron) terrorize her Labrador Retriever (Rizzo). In her spare time she plays guitar, piano, as well as baseball and volleyball.
Debbie (Dr. Steph's mom) joined the Goldenvale team in September 2022. Debbie was a classic animal lover as a child, bringing home stray dogs to her not so keen parents. As an adult she imparted this love of animals onto her husband and her 2 daughters. She spent 20 years as a Banker and 23 years as General Manager of a Marking Device Company unit it recently closed down. Throughout this time she adopted, cared for, and provided hospice to countless animals in need. Today she lives on a Hobby Farm with 4 generations of her family, dogs, a cat, pigs, ducks, a goose, rabbits, and bees. She loves spending time with her 5 grandchildren.
Bri joined the loving Goldenvale team at the end of January 2023. Growing up with her dad breeding boxers for Tanoaks Boxers, located in Barrie ON, Bri already had tons of experience with dogs from different age ranges. From there on forward her devotion for animals surpassed the superficial admiration of their cute appearance to their friendly nature. She enjoys spending her time with her cat (Sterling) and cuddling with her dog (Bailey). Bri’s dream career is to become a full-time Firefighter, and in her time off, a Veterinary Technician. When not working you can find her at the gym, dog walking and or shopping.
