Meet Our Team
Dr. Bostrom
Medical Director/Veterinarian
I graduated from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in 1993. I am very experienced with dogs, cats and reptiles. I am currently the Medical Director here at Wilsons Veterinary Hospital and have worked as an associate veterinarian and a relief veterinarian at humane societies and at emergency clinics. I realize that our pets are really like family members and that pet parents will do anything that they can to provide the best care for their pets. My father is a veterinarian and I have been working with animals my entire life and know, very well, the special bond that is created with your pets.
My wife , 2 kids , 4 dogs, 1 cat, 3 snakes, and 3 turtles (yes, a very busy household!) moved here from Florida. In my free time I love to hike, go birding, fishing and go to the movies.
I look forward to being able to help you and your pets in the near future .

Maddie
Lead Veterinary Technician
Hi I’m Maddie! I started working as a vet tech at Wilson Veterinary Hospital in 2021. Before that I worked at the Humane Society of Utah for 1 year. One of my favorite things about being a vet tech is providing exceptional care to patients and being a helpful resource to clients. At home I take care of my 2 happy pups and 2 kitties!
Taylor
Veterinary Technician
I have always had a strong desire to be a medical caregiver in some way. I even went to school for Medical Laboratory Sciences and started my medical career in human medicine at the U of U Hospital before meeting my husband who is a veterinarian. Shortly after we got married I switched to veterinary medicine and have been completely in love with this field ever since. Working hands on with pets and their owners is the most rewarding part of my job, and I absolutely love what I do!
