Jess Arsenault
Registered Veterinary Technician
Runs dental cleanings and anaesthesia monitoring. If your pet was asleep with us, Jess never left their side.
Our team
The people your pet is actually happy to see.
Three veterinarians with deliberately different strengths, two registered technicians, and a client care lead who remembers every animal's name. You can request any vet when you book. Continuity matters, and we protect it.
Dr. Maya Okafor, DVM
Practice owner + lead veterinarian
Dr. Okafor opened Cedar Hollow after a decade in mixed practice because she wanted appointments long enough to actually talk. She runs our senior-care program, manages the complicated cases, and keeps a photo of every greying muzzle she looks after. At home: two rescue lurchers and a parrot with opinions.
- Internal medicine
- Senior + chronic care
- Rabbits + small pets
In clinic: Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri

Dr. Sam Whitfield, DVM
Surgery + dentistry lead
Dr. Whitfield leads our surgical days and rebuilt our dental service around full-mouth X-rays and written estimates before any tooth is touched. Patients like him because he moves slowly; owners like him because he phones the moment their pet is awake. Weekends are for canoe trips with an elderly beagle named Bus.
- Soft-tissue surgery
- Dentistry + oral surgery
- Anaesthesia protocols
In clinic: Mon, Wed, Thu, Sat

Dr. Priya Raman, DVM
Veterinarian, feline medicine + behaviour
Dr. Raman is the reason our cat room has a shelf, a hiding box, and no dog smell. She has advanced training in low-stress handling and will happily spend the first five minutes of an exam ignoring your cat until your cat decides otherwise. She also sees rabbits and pocket pets. Owned, in the technical sense, by three cats.
- Feline medicine
- Low-stress handling
- Behaviour consults
In clinic: Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat

The team that makes the vets look good.
Theo Brandt
Registered Veterinary Technician
Runs the lab and imaging room: bloodwork, X-rays, and the gentle art of talking a cat onto a scale.
Rosa Delgado
Client care lead
First voice on the phone, keeper of the treat jar, and the person who remembers your dog's name before yours.
Every anaesthetic at Cedar Hollow is monitored by a registered veterinary technician from the first sedative until fully awake. It's the one practice standard we're least willing to bend.
