Dr. Rachel Chun

After relocating to Boston with her husband and their beloved dog this summer, Dr. Chun is excited to embrace all that the Northeast has to offer! Originally from Florida, she has always had a passion for animals, growing up surrounded by horses, dogs, and cats.
Dr. Chun earned her degree in Animal Science from the University of Florida and completed her Veterinary Medicine degree there in 2018. She has since practiced small animal medicine throughout Central Florida, specializing in dogs and cats. She has a particular interest in wellness, dermatology, and internal medicine.
Dr. Chun enjoys exploring her new city in her free time and welcomes recommendations! You can often find her walking her dog, Moose, in the Boston Gardens, biking along the Esplanade, or cheering on the Red Sox. She looks forward to continuing her veterinary practice in such a vibrant city.

Justyne
Hi I’m Justyne MacInnes, a passionate 27-year-old with a heart full of love for dogs and a dedication to their well-being. Currently immersed in the vibrant world of veterinary care, Justyne’s days are filled with compassion and a commitment to ensuring the health and happiness of furry companions. Beyond the clinic walls, you’ll often find Justyne exploring the great outdoors, hiking through scenic trails and soaking in the beauty of nature. An avid reader with an insatiable curiosity, Justyne can often be found immersed in a good book, exploring worlds both real and imagined. But perhaps Justyne’s true joy lies in the simple pleasure of building with LEGO bricks, where creativity knows no bounds and every creation is a testament to imagination. With a heart as big as her love for dogs and a spirit as adventurous as her hikes, Justyne is a force to be reckoned with in both the veterinary world and the realms of leisure and exploration.
