Dr. Lindsay Parker

Following obtaining her Bachelor of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences degree from McGill University, Dr. Parker graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 2015. She then began her specialty training journey with internships across North America, which provided invaluable experiences to help shape Dr. Parker into the veterinarian she is today. She completed her Masters of Biomedical Science and residency of Anesthesia and Analgesia at the University of Missouri in 2023 and returned to the great province of Alberta to start the anesthesia service at Pulse Veterinary Specialists and Emergency.

Dr. Parker enjoys the challenge of critical patient anesthesia and multi-modal analgesia with the use of locoregional blocks, as well as teaching technicians to become more confident and knowledgeable in their anesthesia skills. Her favourite patients to anesthetize are the weird and wonderful including zoo, exotic and wildlife patients. In addition to farm animals, equine, dogs and cats, Dr. Parker has experience anesthetizing small exotic pets, as well as several species of ungulates, black bears, Western low-land gorillas, Eastern Black rhinoceros, birds of prey, reptiles and large exotic felids including cougar and tiger species. Wildlife conservation is dear to Dr. Parkers heart and it is her dream to continue working with these amazing animals and assist with the vital research to protect natures treasures!
