OUR TEAM
Bassam Abdelmalek
Dr. Bassam moved with his family to Edmonton, where he studied for his qualification certificate and earned his DVM from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine to become a licensed veterinarian for Canada and the United States.
Dr. Sherif Boctor
Dr. Boctor enjoys practicing medicine, and finds the most satisfaction in performing surgical dental procedures.
In his leisure time he enjoys playing squash and basketball with his friends and family, and spending time with his 2 cats – Roo and Logi.
Roo and Logi had come to spend “just the weekend” with Dr. Boctor while they were waiting to get adopted; but the girls decided that they had found their forever home with the Boctor family and never left.
Dr. Boctor’s goal is simple: “treat my patients as if they are my own.’
Julie
Julie was born and raised in Edmonton.
Lana
Lana graduated from the Animal Health Technology Program at Fairview College in 1996. She grew up on a farm and had a purebred herd of Gelbvieh Cattle until 2003 when her parents sold the farm and dispersed their herd. She started in a mixed animal practice after graduation but soon decided that it was not what she wanted to specialize in.
Lana then moved into Edmonton in 1997 and has been working in companion animal medicine since. She has also been working part time at an Emergency Clinic since January 2010. She works there on weekends and weekday’s at Chappelle. The experience at the emergency clinic has enhanced her skills as a Technologist and has exposed her to many different conditions that we may not see in Regular Practice.
Lana has an older cat named Squeak and a young dog named Isla, who is a Labradoodle that has a lot of energy. She has travelled to many different countries and would like to continue to see more.

In her free time, Cydney loves to spend time outside either fishing in the summer months or walking through the snow in the winter months.
Samantha
Sam recently graduated from NAIT’s VMA program and is excited to join the Veterinary world. Sam did two years in Psychology, has a certificate in Business Administration, Accounting Technology, Medical Terminology, and started Nursing before finally taking the journey to become a Veterinary Medical Assistant.
After working at an animal shelter, she started her own dog training business to educate and help owners understand the importance of basic obedience and creating a foundation for success in hopes to reduce the number of euthanasia and surrenders. As an alumni Cast Member for Disney, Sam enjoys her time watching the classics, singing “Let it Go” with her nieces, and spending time outdoors with her husband and rescue dog, Archibald (Archie).
