Meet Our Team

 A 1998 graduate Oregon State College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Callihan is our Oak Harbor cardiac sonographer. She has 22 years of exclusively emergency medicine experience, nearly half of that in referral setting. Dr. Callihan discovered the importance of ultrasound while treating emergency cardiac and respiratory patients.  She now has over 120 hours of cardiac ultrasound continuing education, many years of cardiac scanning experience and has been personally coached by our local interpreting cardiologist. 

Becky enjoys the quiet life in Bow, WA where she has been a resident for 15 years. 

Dr. Aunna Lippert  retired to Whidbey Island after 30+ years of internal medicine practice in Detroit, Michigan. She lives on Whidbey Island with her husband Craig and  enjoys spending time with her family,  horses and dogs.

Jaimie has been an LVT since 2006. She worked in a busy small animal practice on Whidbey Island for 6 years before becoming a stay-at home parent. She is still passionate about veterinary medicine although she recently became a college student again to complete her history degree.

She currently resides in the Boise, Idaho area but developed a deep love for Whidbey Island during the 12 years that she lived here with her family. You will often find her outside or with her nose in a book. She loves camping, hiking, and exploring beautiful places. 

She has been married to her husband Aaron for 17 years and they have two great kids (Knox and Harper) that love to adventure with them. Their family currently has a cat (Potato), a chihuahua (Pippa), and 2 Goldendoodles (Maple and Juniper).

 Emily joined the VetMed industry in 2002 and has years of experience working in small animal practices as well as emergency medicine. She has always been fascinated with ultrasound imaging and is thrilled to be a part of the Shuksan team!

When not at work, Emily enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. As a traditional PNW family, they love hiking, camping, fishing and trips to the beach. Their energetic Border Aussie Pixel is always in tow.

Emily has been an animal lover her entire life and is passionate about practicing excellence in patient care.
