Dr. Calverley grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba and graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 1991. After moving to British Columbia, she practised veterinary medicine at her own small animal practice, Mission Veterinary Hospital, for over 23 years while raising three daughters and many 4 legged creatures with her husband Nat. Her interest in rehabilitation and physiotherapy in animals was piqued when a good friend opened a swimming pool for dogs in 2001. As a former water polo player, she was interested in how physiotherapy could help her patients, especially the older, arthritic ones. After a trip to Holland for the 4th symposium on Physical Therapy in Animals in 2006 she pursued her training in animal rehabilitation with the Canine Rehabilitation Institute and became a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist in 2009. She was certified in veterinary medical acupuncture in 2022.
Dr. Calverley has worked closely with OrthoPets since 2011 and has fit over 500 devices in that time. She is very excited to partner with them as Orthopets Vancouver to provide veterinary orthotics and prosthetics! She sees patients for pain assessments and mobility evaluations at veterinary hospitals in the lower mainland of British Columbia and is excited to offer telemedicine consults.
