Administration
Veterinarians
Dr. Lesage	My grandfather was a veterinarian, and I followed in his footsteps. I graduated with honors from WCVM in 1978, and have enjoyed practicing at McPhillips Animal Hospital since then. I have 2 dogs, a Yorkshire Terrier cross named "Polly", and a Shih Tzu named "Suzie". In my spare time, I enjoy golfing, gardening, and travelling.	Dr. Stockburger	I was born and raised in Medicine Hat, Alberta. My family always had pets of one kind or another, including a tarantula. Being a Veterinarian was something I wanted for myself. Starting in high school, I worked part time cleaning kennels at a Veterinary Clinic and loved being there. With a bit of luck and a lot of hard work, I was able to join the best profession on the planet. That said, a modern animal hospital is made up of a multitude of skilled professionals. I have been fortunate to find a group of caring and dedicated staff that let me focus on being the best Veterinarian I can be. Their dedication, help and skill lets me enjoy my profession even more. While attending Veterinary school at the University of Saskatchewan, I met and married another Veterinarian. We relocated to Manitoba after graduating from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 1986. Right now we are blessed with 3 beautiful kids, two cats, and a Labrador. In my spare time I enjoy TV shows like Dr. Phil and Oprah, but you'll more likely find me in a rink with all the other Ringette and Hockey Moms. I especially enjoy rabbit and pocket pet medicine. The very best thing about being a Veterinarian is watching my human clients enjoying their animal family members. What could be a more rewarding career than helping families enjoy a long, healthy life together?

Dr. Nitychoruk	I first came to McPhillips Animal Hospital with my family when I was a child. In caring for my pets, I began to appreciate the importance of an animal's health and well being; and from that became sensitive to the needs that animals cannot put into words. I attended the U of W, and then went on to study at the WCVM. I have a special interest in feline medicine, geriatric medicine and opthamology. I have 2 cats, "Ruby" and "Ginger", and enjoy running and volleyball.	Dr. Bularca	Born in the mountains of Romania, I grew up in a farm-like setting. My parents used to have dairy, swine, sheep and poultry. Of course we always had dogs and cats around. Naturally I was interested in their health status, in helping with their examinations, sample taking and treatments. Even though I studied history and literature, then mathematics and physics, to become a veterinarian was a continuous, gradual progress. I graduated from the veterinary college in Timisoara, Romania, in 1993. I practiced in mixed animal clinics in Europe, then later on in Canada. I joined McPhillips Animal Hospital in 2008 and found a very professional and dedicated team here. I am very happy to put my very best knowledge and experience at work to improve the level of life of our extended family members.

Soon I hope to attend the Animal Health Technology course at Red River, but until then I'm very happy to be apart of this dedicated team.

Everyone at this clinic is very talented and it shows through their work and I thoroughly enjoy learning from them each and everyday, it doesn’t get much better than this!
Animal Staff
Snickers	I came in looking for someone to adopt me. I curled up in the doctor's office, and have been there ever since. I like to hide away in secret spots around the clinic, so you might not be able to spot me!	Melman	Badly injured and no owner to be found, I recovered with a few lasting medical issues. I charmed my way into everyone's hearts, and here I stay. I love to help with computer work, so I try to earn my keep that way...
Tabitha	I came here as a rescue. I'm an elderly lady who loves spending my days on any heated surface. I tend to stay in the treatment area, where the staff pamper me with my own heated kennel area to lounge in.
