At Oxford Animal Hospital, we’ve brought together a team of truly special individuals. From our veterinarians to our technicians and support staff, every person here is chosen for their skill, dedication to animal welfare, and natural compassion.
We work collaboratively to ensure your pet receives seamless, comprehensive care from a team that genuinely loves what they do.
Dr. Tamer Mahmoud’s journey in veterinary medicine comes from true passion and a lifelong love for animals. He received his veterinary degree in 2001, and began his career working for six years with an international pharmaceutical company, building a strong foundation in veterinary medicine and patient care.
In 2008, Dr. Tamer made one of the biggest decisions of his life—moving to Canada with his wife and two daughters to build a new future for his family and continue his professional journey. After settling in Canada, he earned his Canadian veterinary license and continued growing his experience step by step.
Before opening his own practice, Dr. Tamer worked in several veterinary clinics and hospitals in Montreal and Chicago, experiences that helped shape his medical confidence, deepen his clinical judgment, and sharpen his surgical skills.
In 2015, he co-founded Oxford Animal Hospital with a clear and heartfelt vision: to create a clinic where every pet is treated like a true family member, and every client feels welcomed, supported, and confident that their pet is receiving the best possible care.
Dr. Tamer has a special interest in small animal surgery, especially soft-tissue procedures and select orthopedic surgeries. Outside the clinic, he enjoys swimming, traveling, and spending quality time with his family.
Dr. Wesam Awadin has been dedicated to veterinary medicine since earning her veterinary degree in 2001. After an early career in pharmaceutical consulting, she felt a strong calling to return to hands-on clinical work—where she could build deeper relationships with pets and their families—and officially shifted her focus back to clinical practice in 2009.
She spent several years working in Quebec, where she refined her medical and surgical skills while managing a wide variety of cases, from routine wellness visits to complex medical conditions.
In 2012, Dr. Wesam moved to Edmonton, and for the next two years she volunteered with the Edmonton Humane Society. This experience allowed her to give back to the community while further strengthening her clinical judgment and hands-on skills—especially in caring for animals in need.
Over the years, Dr. Wesam has performed hundreds of surgical procedures and developed a special passion for both soft tissue surgery and veterinary dentistry.
Since co-founding Oxford Animal Hospital in 2015, Dr. Wesam has proudly served the Edmonton community with a calm, gentle approach and strong attention to detail. She is known for her patience, compassionate communication, and her ability to guide pet owners through difficult decisions with clarity and care.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Wesam enjoys camping, swimming, and spending quality time with her husband, their two daughters, and their beloved family pets, Minnie and Mike.
Dr. Neven has been a dedicated advocate for small animals since graduating in 2001. She is known for her calm, compassionate demeanour and strong clinical skills, which she uses to improve the health and well-being of every pet she treats.
She also shares her deep empathy for animals with her family, including her two daughters, her loving husband, and their cat, Soka.
In her free time, Dr. Neven loves to travel with her family, creating new memories and exploring the world.
Jennifer’s journey at Oxford Animal Hospital started with a bit of serendipity in 2016. A routine visit with her huskies turned into an impromptu interview, and she was hired on the spot. Since then, she has risen through the ranks to become our dedicated Clinic Manager, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Her passion for animals is immense, and she dedicates her personal time to volunteering with Infinite Woofs Animal Rescue and organizing the Horsepower for Hope fundraiser for the Kids with Cancer Society.
She also cherishes her travels and trips home to the UK to see her family, especially the tiny new additions.
For Adana, a life surrounded by animals led her directly to a career in their care.
Growing up with pets by her side gave her a natural ability to make them feel safe and reassured, a gift she brings to her role as Assistant Manager. After joining us as a receptionist in 2022, her calm presence and dedication led her to quickly take on more responsibility.
When she isn’t ensuring the clinic runs smoothly, she enjoys an active life with her girl, Beyoncé.
After moving to Canada from Jamaica in 2017, Roshane pursued her dream of becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician at the University of Guelph.
In 2023, she brought her skills, huge heart, and warmth to our team here in Alberta. Though she doesn’t have a pet of her own yet, she pours all her love into caring for our furry visitors, young and old.
When she’s not at the clinic, she loves nothing more than relaxing at home and binge-watching movies with her family.
Kaitlin’s lifelong fascination with animals, from family pets to wildlife, naturally guided her to a career as a Registered Veterinary Technician.
After graduating from Northern College in 2022, she moved to Alberta and joined our team in 2024. She brings her passion and adventurous spirit to work every day.
Outside the clinic, she shares her life with her fiancé and two furry companions, Maple and Cleo. Her favourite hobbies include hiking the scenic trails that Alberta offers, playing video games, and watching shows.
Hadi’s appreciation for animals was sparked on his family’s farm, where he grew up alongside both farm and companion animals.
This deep-rooted connection was the driving force behind his decision to enter veterinary school. As a recent graduate, he applies his fresh knowledge and lifelong passion as a skilled technician while preparing for his North American Veterinary Licensing Exam.
In his free time, you can find Hadi staying active by hiking, swimming, running, or biking.
Our team welcomed Camilla in October 2023, following her successful vet assistant practicum. It was her beloved rottie mix, Prada, who inspired her to pursue a career in the veterinary field.
Camilla, who moved to Canada from Brazil in 2017, is currently working towards her goal of becoming a vet technician.
When she’s not at the clinic, she enjoys staying active by hiking with Prada, going to the gym, and shopping with friends.
Since joining our team in 2023, Hayley has embraced her role with an infectious joy and enthusiasm.
For her, working with animals isn’t just a job; it’s a passion she wouldn’t trade for the world. That positive energy and love for her work translate directly into the gentle and attentive care she provides for every patient.
