Dr. Brianne Appleby has been with us as a veterinarian for over 7 years now after a 6 year adventure of living abroad and attending vet school at Murdoch University in Australia. She is the daughter of Dr. Chris Appleby and grew up watching and helping her mother with surgery and animal care. She developed a passion for helping animals and was often seen at the hospital, working after school and on school breaks.
Brianne is very happy to be practicing in her home town and living her dream of practicing veterinary medicine.  Dr. Appleby has a special interest in ultrasound technology and has completed certification courses. Brianne also has a passion for graphic design. She designed the hospital website, including the icons beside the headings. In her spare time, she enjoys outdoor activities such as camping and hiking with her husband and young daughter.
