Dr. Andrea Spevakow Dr. Andrea Spevakow graduated from the Western College of Veterinary
Medicine in Saskatoon in 2007. She joined Eagle Rise Veterinary Hospital
in June 2009 after spending 2 years working as a veterinarian in the
Lower Mainland. Veterinary medicine was a career change for her - her
unique background includes a degree in Anthropology, including 2 years
of working in archaeological consulting, and a Bachelor of Commerce degree
that she put to use in business development and market research. She
came to veterinary medicine when she realized her true passion was in
working with pets and their people. Since then, she always strives to
provide high quality, compassionate care. Dr. Tin-Wai Kwan Dr. Michele Martin Dr. Charlotte Keller Dr. Kinga Gortel Dr. Vincent Defalque

Cheryl's enthusiastic approach to veterinary reception and her enjoyment of keeping pets and people happy have contributed greatly to the education and feeling of ease for both our patients and their people. If ever a concern arises about any aspect of our client service, Cheryl is quick to do what is necessary to meet our clients expectations. Being outdoors and active, spending time with family and friends, and her love of being a Mum of two children are Cheryl's passions when she's not hard at work.
