Dr. Megan LeclairI was born in Richmond, B.C. where I attended the University of British Columbia. I graduated in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science (Agr.). As a child who would "surgically" remove tags from my stuffed animals, it was clear to me that a career in veterinary medicine was an obvious choice. I continued my studies at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon, graduating in 2005. After graduation, fate brought me to the great city of Winnipeg were I met my husband and we have managed to fill our home with 3 wonderful children, 2 cats and a dog.
I started at the Charleswood Veterinary Clinic in 2007 and thoroughly enjoy all aspects of general practice, including medicine, surgery and dentistry. I love seeing the bond between pets and their families grow from those first few puppy and kitten visits to their senior years. It makes each day a rewarding one. |

Dr. Fiona MulhernI grew up in Winnipeg and since a young age wanted to be a veterinarian. I received a Bachelor of Science from the University of Manitoba prior to attending the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon. I graduated in 2013 and started practicing in a rural setting. This gave me a wealth of experience, from routine medicine to emergency care. In 2015, I moved back to Winnipeg and joined the Charleswood Veterinary Clinic. I am fortunate to be a part of a great team that strives to provide the best care for our patients.
I frequently bring my French Bulldog, Olive, to work where she is spoiled by her second family, while my rescue cat, Felix is happy to stay home. |

Dr. Heather Bassey
I grew up in the Charleswood area, and since a very young age had the goal of becoming a veterinarian. I left Winnipeg to attended the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon. I did not last long living without pets while at school as I quickly acquired my two Maine Coon cats - Simon and Arthur. I returned to Winnipeg to begin practicing after graduating in 2017. I have a particular interest in Fear Free medicine and believe in making veterinary visits as low stress as possible through gentle handling and positive reinforcement. I joined the Charleswood Veterinary Clinic team in April 2018. It has been such a pleasure to be back in my community and to be working alongside such supportive and caring staff.

Jackie, RVT Jackie started at Charleswood Veterinary Clinic on March 15, 2021. She has loved animals for as long as she can remember! When she was younger she worked in various pet stores and went to school to become a Vet Assistant. During her schooling, her teacher told her that she would make an excellent Vet Tech so she went back to school again and graduated as an RVT in 2017 from RRC Polytech. Jackie loves helping her patients feel as comfortable as possible when they're in the clinic. This lead her to become certified in Fear Free handling. Her favourite part of her job is seeing patients feel better after treatment and, of course, snuggles! As an RVT, Jackie has many jobs, but she has a special interest in dental care. She has seen old dogs feel like puppies again after having their teeth cleaned and any infected/injured teeth extracted. It makes her feel good to be part of the process and hear that her patient feels so much better afterwards. Outside of work, Jackie has been busy writing her first children's book called Penny's Rumour (as Penelope Prince), which was recently published. She also loves to read and bake! Jackie has 2 Pomeranians, Penny and Prince, and a cat, Snickers, and a Crested Gecko, Lu. |
