Our Medical Officers
Owner, Chief Medical Officer
Christine Reid, DVM
Dr. Christine Reid has been in the veterinary field since 2009. First as an assistant, then a licensed veterinary technician, and finally as a veterinarian. Her undergraduate focus was on physiology and neurobiology and she focussed on small animal medicine during her veterinary education. She excelled during her clinical year of vet school earning numerous awards and accolades for client communication, patient care, surgery, and oncology.
She started practice in a rural North Carolina community where she confidently tackled difficult cases and difficult surgical procedures and wounds. It was during these years she developed her strong beliefs in accurate informed consent and that if an owner was willing to try for their pet she would try with them. Since then she has worked in a variety of emergency settings including referral hospitals alongside criticalists, cardiologists, and surgeons where her knowledge and skills continued to grow and her standards for patient care became deeply rooted.
Dr. Reid is driven by her pursuit to help her patients to the full extent of her abilities and to do so at the highest standard of care that she can provide. She believes in open and honest conversation as well as free collaboration with her colleagues and she could not be more excited to be taking this step and serving the community she cares so much about. She lives in Yorktown with her fiance, 2 beautiful human girls, and 4 rescue pets (1 dog and 3 cats).
Hospital Director
Brandy Sinclair, LVT
Brandy has been working in the veterinary field since 2002. As an assistant she learned the basics of veterinary care, which furthered her passion. She attended Virginia Tech and majored in Animal and Poultry Science with an emphasis in equine and beef cattle industry. Her love of anesthesia led her to obtain a degree in veterinary technology. She has worked in various emergency, specialty, and surgical facilities across the east coast - using her skills in anesthesia for critical patients and prolonged anesthetic events. She is certified in Principle Techniques in Small Animal Anesthesia, Perioperative Analgesia, and Critical Patient Care through completion of a two year course through Cornell’s School of Veterinary Medicine.
Beyond anesthesia she takes great pride in providing her patients with high quality analgesia that aids in a safe and smooth recovery. She enjoys teaching and often travels to various conferences lecturing on subjects such as advanced anesthesia techniques, loco-regional anesthesia, advanced bandaging, wound management, and surgical sterility.
Brandy continues to pursue the most advanced knowledge and techniques to ensure her patients are provided the utmost care and compassion and ensuring the best outcome possible. She helps clients understand the full extent of their pet’s conditions to help them make the best informed decisions possible.
Outside of the veterinary field, Brandy is an avid equestrian, baker, and loves spending time with her husband and two young boys as well as their two cattle dogs.
