We put the patients first!
Michelle began working in the veterinary industry when she was a student and has had the opportunity to work in a variety of different roles over the years. As one of our receptionists, Michelle’s mission is to make visits to the vet as welcoming and stress-free as possible for both pets as well as their owners. It is her top priority to ensure that every pet receives the care he or she needs, and that clients feel supported and informed every step of the way.
Born and raised in Burlington, Erica grew up loving animals, but unlike many of her colleagues, she didn’t have her eyes set on a career in the veterinary industry until later. After several years of working in human medicine, Erica came to the realization that her preferred patient was furry and four-legged, so she changed gears, and the rest is history! As a veterinary assistant, she feels she’s truly found her calling.
Prior to becoming part of the Aldershot family, Erica got her feet wet as a veterinary receptionist. Eager to learn as much as she could, she quickly climbed the ladder to the assistant position, where she spent a decade honing her craft before joining the Aldershot Animal Hospital team in November of 2023. Clinically, Erica has a special interest in cytology and finds looking under the microscope fascinating.

Lindsay has been around animals since she was a young child; she fondly recalls her grandmother who worked as a manager at a pet food store. She enjoyed seeing her grandmother interact with pet owners and educating them, and knew that was something she could see herself doing in the future. Now she’s a registered veterinary technician at Aldershot Animal Hospital and loving it!
After years of schooling at Seneca College and Algonquin College, and training at various vet clinics, Lindsay was able to equip herself with the knowledge and experience to help animals and their owners the same way her grandmother was. Besides the client education aspect of the job, Lindsay enjoys working with senior dogs and cats. She looks forward to making their visits as relaxing and stress-free as possible. She also likes being around her current staff at the animal hospital, as they all compliment each other very well.
