Medical Director

Dr. Brianne Appleby has been with us as a veterinarian for over 11 years, after a 6-year adventure of living abroad and attending vet school at Murdoch University in Western Australia. She is the daughter of Dr. Chris Appleby and spent her childhood  watching and helping her mother with surgery and animal care. 
Brianne is very happy to be practicing in her home town and living her dream of practicing veterinary medicine.  She has a special interest in ultrasound technology and has completed extra courses in this subject.  She also enjoys communicating with pet owners about the health of their pets.  She has a passion for graphic design---and even designed our hospital website!  In her spare time,  Dr. Appleby enjoys outdoor activities such as camping and hiking with her husband, daughter and 7 year old French Bulldog named 'Mack'--the clown in her family.

Dr Corine Léger graduated from the University of Ottawa in 2012, with a General Bachelor of Science with Minors in Biology, which led her to pursue her dream career in veterinary medicine.  Upon graduating with her DVM degree in 2018 from the University of Montreal, she started practicing both general practice and emergency medicine at the VCA Ottawa Veterinary Hospital. She developed a special interest in internal and emergency medicine, geriatric patient care and dermatology. She has a special place in her heart for misunderstood breeds and relinquished pets. ​Outside of work, Corine loves spending time with her husband, their two small children and cuddling with their 5 pets at home. She also enjoys exploring the outdoors and dancing with her kids.  
 Corine has enthusiastically decided to join the Arnprior Animal Hospital team, starting full-time in September 2022. Dr Léger is looking forward to building new relationships with pets and their families, and to provide gold standard medical and surgical care. 
Dr. Chris Appleby established the Arnprior Animal Hospital in 1981 following graduation from the Ontario Veterinary College.  She enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine, and has a special interest in surgery.  Working with her daughter, Dr. Brianne Appleby has added a very special dimension to her career as they work together to share ideas about veterinary medicine and surgery.  Dr. Appleby's younger daughter, Mikaela is also an important member of our hospital team and sharing management knowledge and ideas provides for interesting family conversations!  She enjoys travelling, scuba diving, dragon boating, canoeing and spending time with family.  She also shares her home with her dog - Aussie, an adorable golden retriever.
