Dr. Gwen Robertson

Chief Veterinarian

Dr. Gwen joined Campbellford Veterinary Services practice right after graduation from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1994. Shortly after that, she convinced her husband and classmate, Dr. Bruce Robertson, that Campbellford was the place to be. An injury in 2011 forced Bruce to stop practicing for a short while, leading to Dr. Gwen assuming the managing partner role in his stead.

Dr. Gwen’s favourite areas of practice are surgery (both soft tissue and orthopedic), physical rehabilitation and pain management. She has taken several continuing education courses in orthopedics. In 2009, Gwen became a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner through the University of Tennessee. There are only a few veterinarians with this training in Ontario. She is one of only four Certified Veterinary Pain Practitioners in Ontario. In 2014 she became certified in Medical Acupuncture for Veterinarians.

When not working, Gwen can be found at home with her two little boys. They have a busy hobby farm with rare and heritage breeds of chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys. Gwen is a self-admitted hatch-a-holic, with incubators running year round. She also shares her home with five dogs and four cats.

Natisha

Practice Manager

Natisha believes that everyday is a day worth celebrating! She loves to motivate and challenge people, and she loves pets of course. She has a educational background in Human Resources, English and Cultural Studies. Previously she worked in the social and community services sector within Northumberland County in management roles for many years but when the opportunity presented itself to manage and foster a healthy work culture at Campbellford Veterinary Services for a compassionate and knowledgeable veterinarian (Dr. Gwen Robertson) she couldn't pass it up. She loves working along side incredible and passionate people and what is any better than seeing fur babies all day long?

Natisha lives on the outskirts of Campbellford with her husband Brad where they love to spend their time with their own fur babies, their boys and nature!
