BRANDON HILLS - Key Persons

Dr. Karlene Hofer obtained her DVM degree (with great distinction) in 2018 from the University of Saskatchewan. Dr. Hofer enjoys getting to know her patients and their families and building long lasting veterinary-client-patient relationships. She enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine, but has a special interest in feline medicine, neurology and dermatology. Dr. Hofer moved to Brandon with her husband, Daniel in May 2018, but is originally from Grunthal, Manitoba. Outside of work Dr. Hofer keeps busy taking care of her three mischievous cats - Izzie, Finn and Arthur and her betta fish, Tom Riddle. She also enjoys reading, trail biking, baking and camping.

Dr. Tracy Radcliffe graduated from WCVM in 1999, and has been an associate veterinarian at Brandon Animal Clinic since May of 2000. She lives south of Brandon with her long-time partner, Mark. They share their home with 9 cats: Itty Bitty, Timothy, Schroeder, Floofs Jr., Buddy, Herb, Soda, Stray and Piper; and 4 dogs: Rocky, Django, Domino and Shay. The love Dr. Radcliffe has for her furry family members, and experience caring for their various medical conditions, allows her to empathize with the pet owners coming into the clinic; behind every sick or hurt animal is an owner that loves that pet as much as she does her own. The pursuit of safe, holistic/complementary medical treatments for animals led to her certification in veterinary acupuncture in 2006, and animal chiropractic in 2014. She also completed a graduate diploma in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine in 2014, and has had great success with all modalities, combining them with Western Medicine to provide the best possible care for your pets.
