Bios

• Mark Hiebert

  DVM

  Dr. Hiebert's family had a menagerie of pets and farm animals in northern Canada. After the first time their veterinarian came to their farm to examine one of the cows, Dr. Hiebert decided that he wanted to become a veterinarian too. He studied veterinary medicine at Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon, Canada and has been practicing since 1990. In 2001, Dr. Hiebert joined the medical team at our hospital and shortly afterward became a partner. VCA TLC Animal Hospital has since become his home away from home. Early in his career Dr. Hiebert started a branch of the SPCA in his hometown in northern Canada. He became involved in the BC Veterinary Association and eventually served as president for a term. He is currently licensed to practice in California. Dr. Hiebert is a member of the Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society and Southern California Veterinary Medical Associations. He also has a special interest in critical care medicine as well as surgery. As Co-Medical Director at VCA TLC, Dr. Hiebert strives to continue to improve on the services we provide. He believes that being a veterinarian is more like a way of life than a profession. Also, as time allows, he looks forward to taking some time to travel with his large family and share adventures.

• Geoffrey Chapman

  Dr. Chapman graduated from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in 1999 before relocating to San Diego where he completed a one-year rotating internship in small animal medicine and surgery. He has lived in Los Angeles since 2000, working primarily emergency duties, including a stint at TLC in 2004-2005. Dr. Chapman returned to TLC as a full time associate in 2012. A West Hollywood resident, he can be spotted regularly walking his dog, Six, to and from the hospital. While not caring for pets, Dr. Chapman enjoys playing guitar, snowboarding, and single malt scotches from the Hebrides. While not being pet, Six enjoys chasing squirrels, barking at suspicious sounds, and shamelessly hounding TLC techs for treats.
