Samantha has been working in veterinary medicine since 2009. She has also been a huge advocate for animals since she can remember. She is especially fond of patients needing long-term care, have chronic conditions, or have special needs.

After many years in general practice, she decided to continue her journey in the dermatology specialty. Samantha values working with each individual patient and their families educating them about their pets’ individual health needs.

When Samantha is not working she enjoys spending time with her dogs and hiking around the Pacific Northwest.

Kathy has worked in the veterinary profession since 1988 and specifically in the dermatology field since 2000. When she is not at the clinic, she enjoys showing her Doberman “Duke”, gardening, traveling, and spending time with her four grandchildren.

Jolene grew up in Wyoming and moved to Oregon in 2004. Her love for veterinary medicine began in high school while participating in a work-study program at a local veterinary clinic. She worked with both small and large animals assisting with radiographs, surgery and caring for newborn patients. This experience allowed her to fall in love with veterinary medicine, and she later joined that clinic as an after school assistant. She is a 2006 Veterinary Assistant graduate from Apollo College and began working in general practice. She joined AAEC in 2009 and enjoys the challenges of dermatology combined with bringing comfort and relief to our patients.

In her free time, she enjoys camping, gardening, hiking, and fishing with her son Tony in addition to spending time with their dog Kiloh and their two cats Sharkey Mouse and Stormy.

Allison joined the Veterinary field at the very beginning of 2020, after leaving her previous career in the textile design industry. She started as a veterinary assistant/client service representative at an ER hospital in Irvine, California before she and her husband moved to Portland.

She has always been an animal lover but instantly fell in love with vet medicine and the behind-the-scenes of a veterinarian appointment.

Allison is a current dog mom to an all-white, spotted boxer named Penelope. When she is not at work, she loves to go on various adventures all around the pacific northwest with Penelope, finding all of the best dog-friendly spots to take her to. A fun fact about Allison is that she loves to paint, and does it any chance she can get.

The Oregon office wouldn’t be complete without Doctor Randall’s dogs, Quinn (goldendoodle) and River (chocolate lab)!  Both dogs are rescues and our Oregon staff enjoys their company and companionship. You can often find Quinn hanging out around the reception desk so that he can greet all of our clients with a big “cheesy” grin. River is a huge mama’s boy with a big appetite. He enjoys belly rubs, and is usually seen happily trotting around with a toy in his mouth. He is currently being treated by Doctor Randall for Pemphigus Foliaceus, an autoimmune skin disorder that she specializes in. Both dogs have big personalities and the office would not be complete without them.
