Dr. Sarah Barthelemy
​Practice owner/veterinarian

Hello, my name is Dr. Sarah Barthelemy and I would like to welcome you to Crowchild Trail Vet! I graduated from Murdoch University in Western Australia in 2012 and began my career as a small animal practitioner in Vernon, British Columbia. In 2015 I moved to the beautiful city of Calgary where I continued my work as a small animal veterinarian while also searching for an opportunity to purchase a practice. In the Fall of 2017 my dream of becoming a practice owner came true and I became the proud owner of Crowchild Trail Veterinary Clinic.
While I enjoy many aspects of veterinary medicine, my special interests are internal medicine and ultrasonography. Outside of my regular clinical work, I also enjoy undertaking volunteer work and am a member of the Canadian Animal Assistance Team. My volunteer efforts have primarily taken me to Fiji, where I have spent time working with the SPCA and offering veterinary services in remote areas where animal care is typically unavailable.
Outside of my career, my true love is my husband Darwin and our two very energetic sons, Nicholas and Sebastian. I enjoy many activities outside of work including traveling, soccer, staying physically fit, and restaurants.
I feel so fortunate to have found a career that I am truly passionate about and I look forward to sharing that passion with my clients and their pets!

Dr. Lauren Sherwood
Veterinarian

Hi! My name is Dr. Lauren Sherwood and I was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta. I moved to Calgary in 2015 to pursue veterinary medicine through the University of Calgary. I graduated in June of 2019 and I am excited to start my career as a small animal practitioner here at Crowchild Trail Veterinary Clinic. 
I have enjoyed learning of all aspects of veterinary medicine, my special interests include clinical pathology and ophthalmology. I enjoy travelling and have most recently been to India where I provided veterinary services and worked with the veterinary students at the university in Ludhiana, Punjab. This year I was also fortunate enough to travel to the Northwest Territories where I was able to provide veterinary services for some of the communities in the Sahtu region.
Outside of veterinary medicine my interests include hiking and camping and I am also an avid reader! My husband and I share our home with our cat, Louie, and our rabbit, Ellie. I look forward to caring for your furry friends and excited to meet all of the clients at the Crowchild Trail Veterinary Clinic!!

Tammy Cesario
​Practice Manager

My name is Tammy and I was born in Winnipeg, MB and moved to Calgary shortly thereafter. Growing up, I was always surrounded by many furry friends (and some not so furry!). Hamsters, Rabbits, a Hedgehog, Newts, Frogs, Fish, a Turtle, Dogs, Cats and even a Duck, have made up my menagerie! I have worked in the animal industry for well over 20 years. I joined the Crowchild Trail Veterinary Clinic in 2002, where I decided to turn my passion for animals into a career.
My current animals include a beautiful Dilute Calico named Maddie, a crazy little Miniature Pincher X Miniature Schnauzer named Fritz, a cute little Hamster named Chestnut as well as a variety of tropical fish.
I also share my home with my other half, Dino and our young, energetic daughter, Claudia. In my time away from the clinic, I enjoy going for long walks anywhere in nature, family vacations, camping, baking and having “movie nights” with our daughter!

Alex Fisher
Technician Assistant

My name is Alex and I am a fun, friendly and hardworking member of the Crowchild Trail team.
I graduated from the Veterinary Office Assistant program at Bow Valley College in May 2016 and have been working as a Technician Assistant since then.
I may be new to the veterinary field, but I am definitely not new to caring for and loving animals. I have always had a passion for animals and am really excited and grateful to work with and care for them every day.
While I love all animals, I am always happy to be called a “cat person”, as I have never lived without a little feline friend beside me. I currently shares my home with Maria, a sassy little black cat!
I am excited to be a part of the Crowchild Trail team, and to have the chance to get to know and care for all of the wonderful patients here at Crowchild Trail Veterinary Clinic!

Cyndi McCorkell
​Reception

Hi, my name is Cyndi! I am a native Calgarian so I have always been a country girl. I grew up around a variety of animals including horses, chickens, and cows, so having a career in the animal field was a natural choice. 
I've worked primarily in veterinary clinics, dealing with not only dogs and cats, but also exotic pets such as birds, ferrets, and even reptiles. 
I owned my own dog grooming business for 20 years, which I operated out of my house, and for a number of years I managed a pet store where I organized fundraisers and special events. 
My home life is spent with my husband, Terry, and our 3 dogs. We have 2 schipperkes, "Archer" and "Mystic", and a Bichon X named "Kyro". 
Most of our time right now is spent remodelling our house, and with 3 senior dogs who require some extra TLC, it's taking some time to finish! We do love to travel, so we get a way when we need some TLC ourselves. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members. I'll be the on taking their picture!

Karen Walker
Reception

Hello! My name is Karen and I graduated with a diploma in Animal Health Technology from Fairview College in 1998.  I began working at Crowchild Trail Veterinary Clinic in January 2000 in a full time capacity, but changed to a part time position on Saturdays once I started having children. I am a mother to 3 wonderful children, and I now run a day home as my full time job during the week. When I am not at work you can find me baking, spending time with my children, watching theatre, sewing costumes, running lines, making props, watching choreography, reading stories or playing with the pets.  I have 2 pets, a dog named Loki and a cat named Valkyrie (though Loki is rather positive that Valkyrie belongs to him).
