Dr. David Mackenzie, DVM
Dr. David Mackenzie graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College (University of Guelph) in 1988 with his Bachelor of Science & Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.
He spent his first 5 years practicing in Las Vegas, Nevada. This practice saw a wide variety of animals including cats, dogs, lions, tigers and 15 foot pythons! In 1993 he returned to Canada and worked at a clinic in Langley and then North Vancouver.
In 1999, Dr. Mackenzie decided he wanted to do it 'his way' and purchased the Fort Langley Veterinary Clinic.
Dr. Dave has interests in all aspects of small animal medicine but particularly enjoys senior care, dental care and preventative medicine.
He currently has one fur-kid named Jasper, a pup who is quite rambunctious and always up to something!
When Dr. Dave is not at the clinic he can be found hiking, reading a good book, trying out new restaurants, listening to music or heading off on a road trip!

Alexa, RVT
Alexa Butschler graduated from the Douglas College Veterinary Technology program in 2023, but has been working in the veterinary world since 2019, and has been loving animals for as long as she can remember. As an assistant, she worked at a bird-only hospital, as well as at an emergency veterinary clinic. As an RVT, she spent a summer working at a marine mammal rescue rehabilitating wild harbour seals, before going back to emergency, and then finally finding her way to us here in Fort Langley!
Alexa loves animals of all kinds. She is currently caring for a lovely rescue dog named Fern, a silly sphynx cat named Taro, as well as various pet reptiles. She has a special interest in wildlife, particularly bats, and occasionally volunteers her time working with local bat researchers.
Outside of work, you can find Alexa enjoying the outdoors with her pup and her partner, and enjoying new good food. At home, she might be playing board games, video games, enjoying a good show, or indulging in one of many different creative hobbies.

Jessica, VOA
Jessica completed her Veterinary Office Assistant program in August of 2015 through Douglas College. She then spent nearly 5 years working at another veterinary clinic before making the fabulous switch to Fort Langley Veterinary Clinic.
Jessica had the opportunity to grow up with mostly Pitbulls and in turn has a very special place in her heart for them, but of course she loves all furry critters! She currently has a much loved smaller fur-baby at home, Ivy, a crazy but cute French Bulldog cross.
In her spare time, Jessica can be found wandering the paths in a forest or simply binge watching her current favourite show on Netflix. During the warmer months, Jessica enjoys exploring new trails and hikes all over the Lower Mainland with her husband and Ivy.

Elisha, VOA
Elisha had just graduated from the VOAC program at Douglas College back in August of 2024 and feels she made a good choice of immediately joining us!
Elisha has 2 senior cats who she loves with her whole heart, Ruben and Cleo. She grew up with cats her whole life, but still loves all animals out there!
In her free time, you can find Elisha reading, listening to music, or hanging out with friends! Maybe if it's Spring or Summer, she will be outside on a walk or playing volleyball.
