The Clinic Staff

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 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 harbor 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 has volunteered 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.

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! (pictured here with one of our patients, "Larry")

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.

Kyra, VOA

Kyra has been working in the veterinary industry as a veterinary assistant since 2023, and made the great decision to join us here in Fort Langley at the start of 2025.

Kyra has two fun and loving cats named Ricky and Benny, and has grown up with dogs and cats throughout her life. She started fostering kittens in 2024 (which is where her cats both came from), and has made a huge difference in many cats lives by doing so!

When Kyra isn’t at work, she absolutely loves going to all kinds of concerts, especially metal shows. She also enjoys gaming, and spending lots of quality time with her pets.
