Amanda Tinsley, Medical Director

Dr. Amanda Tinsley grew up in southern California where she spent ten years working at veterinary clinics as a technician before starting the veterinary program at Oregon State University, graduating in 2006. During her time at OSU Dr. Tinsley fell in love with the Pacific Northwest and decided to stay. She has worked in emergency clinics, private practice, and at VCA. One of her passions is to establish and maintain a connection with her clients to help them strengthen their human-animal bonds with their beloved fur babies. She also has an avid interest in dermatology, surgery, and internal medicine.

Dr. Tinsley is known for her love of all creatures but especially black cats. She has three of her own plus a fourth tabby cat and one Border Collie. Outside of work she enjoys science fiction, comics, film, and loves reading. In the past she was into equestrian competitions until the loss of her beloved Thoroughbred.

Being a veterinarian was her life’s ambition and is the only career she has ever wanted.
