About Us

Uptown Animal Clinic is a new, privately owned facility bringing high-quality veterinary care to Uptown Saint John. Over the course of her 20-year career in veterinary medicine, our owner and lead veterinarian has seen and personally experienced burnout and compassion fatigue. These are areas we are committed to addressing.

At Uptown, our goal is to create an inclusive clinic culture built on collaboration, communication, and kindness; and where toxicity and bullying will never be tolerated. Our goal is to foster an environment where team members feel appreciated, and turnover is low.
