Let Us Introduce our Wonderful Staff !!!!​
Bobbi Auger
Manager
​I started working at Panorama Veterinary Services back in 2002 where I split my time between cleaning the horse pens, helping Alex on horse calls and riding his polo horses. I eventually managed to work my way into the small animal clinic helping in every aspect of the practice. My parents will tell you I had a love of animals from a very young age. I bugged them every birthday until they gave in and got me my first horse at the age of 12. I rode in the local hunter/jumper shows throughout my teens and did some breeding with my Thoroughbred stallion until my husband and I started our family. I now spend most of my spare time with my 2 young daughters. Much to my husband’s horror, they are already showing the ‘horsey’ bug and I hope to get back into horses once they are a bit older. For now I’ll have to be content with our 2 cats and our dogs Jarkko, a Shiba Inu, and Penny, our wild white whippet!​​​
Sharen Halldorson
Receptionist
​ I moved to the Okanagan Valley about 40 years ago and have worked in the veterinary profession off and on since 1976 after starting in Grand Centre Alberta. I have had dogs, cats and horses since I was very young ... too many years ago to count. Other interests include gardening, horseback riding and hanging out with my kids and grandkids. I started at Panorama Veterinary Services in August of 2011 and love working in a small town practice.​

Carolyn
Receptionist
I am graduate veterinary technician. My first experience working in a veterinary hospital was during a junior high school work experience program, that experience confirmed what I already knew, that I wanted a career working with animals. I grew up with many different types of animals & I loved spending time on my grandparents farm with all of their animals. I look forward to going to work each day and love helping our patients and their pet parents. My current 4 legged family includes a quarter horse, a cattle dog and a senior Siamese cat.
