GET TO KNOW OUR VETERINARIANS AND CARE TEAM
Established in 1998, Maritime Animal Hospital has a team of dedicated and well-trained professionals who have been offering trustworthy veterinary services in the Moncton, Riverview, and Dieppe area. Initially, the hospital was started by Dr. Gordon Vessey and his wife Tammy. They worked together for the first 6 months before hiring their first animal technician. Now, they are a proud team of 17 who are passionately working towards providing animals with superior health care services.
DR. GORDON VESSEY
Owner
Dr. Gordon Vessey is the owner and senior veterinary care professional at the Maritime Animal Hospital. His desire to become an animal caregiver began when he was very young living on a farm in PEI. By the time he was a teenager, he was working every day after school and on weekends for a neighboring farmer. This work experience shaped and influenced his decision to enter the veterinary field.
DR. RIANNE GAUNCE
Dr. Rianne Gaunce grew up on a dairy farm in Havelock, NB, where she developed her love of animals. Her dream to become a veterinarian started at a very young age.
Dr. Gaunce received her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from the Atlantic Veterinary College in 2015. Since graduation she has worked in NB doing general practice as well as emergency medicine.
Dr. Gaunce and her husband Scott live on a dairy farm in Scoudouc, NB. There they share their home with their two Golden Retrievers, Penny and Simba, who were both adopted as senior dogs. Their farm is also filled with many Holstein cows, including one extra special one named "Mischief".
DR. GENEVIEVE MACHUM
Dr. Machum grew up on a small hobby farm outside of Saint John, NB. Animal care started early with Dr. Machum - for her fourth birthday her present was her very own calf. She has always had a special bond with the animals she cared for on the farm. She attained a Bachelor of Arts for St. Thomas University and then a Bachelor of Science from UNB before attending the Atlantic Veterinary College in PEI. Dr. Machum enjoys discussing behaviour, nutrition, senior care, dermatology and other topics with her clients. Most of her free time is spent entertaining her four crazy dogs, hiking, and travelling.
DR. HANNAH PAPIC
Dr. Papic knew from a young age that she wanted to provide care to animals. Her love for veterinary medicine was strengthened after she attended the Dr. Tim Ogilvie Vet Camp not once, but three times.
Not straying far from her home in Moncton, NB, Dr. Papic completed her Bachelor of Science through UPEI, and later graduated from AVC in 2021. She has moved back home with her two cats, Ella & Briar, as well as her cornsnake, Maple.
OUR CARE TEAM
It is not possible to run a veterinary hospital efficiently without the help of dedicated support staff. While the veterinarians handle the surgeries and treatments, our care team is always present to help and support you with all the other needs.

SHELLEY
Veterinary Assistant
Considering her start with animals, it's a wonder she ever ended up choosing this career path. Her parents got their first family pet (a cat) when she was just a little girl. She was so scared, she wouldn't even come out of her bedroom! But once that bond was formed, so was her love for animals and has been an animal lover ever since.
LISA
Veterinary Assistant
Lisa’s love for animals began at an early age as she came from a family that consisted of the traditional cats and dogs while also raising chickens, turkeys and a few pigs.

She had a great experience working here and after seeing the compassion by the vets and staff for their pets, she was inspired to work in this field.
MARY ANN

BETH
Veterinary Assistant
Beth knew that she wanted to work and care for animals from a very young age. She used to have dreams of finding kittens and taking them home to love.

She had a dog, named Muppet when she was growing up and when she was thirteen; her parents let her get her first cat, Patches.
JOCELYNE
