Dr. Scott D. Shaw

Owner – Chief Veterinarian

Dr. Scott Shaw cared for horses, chickens, a goat, and a cow at a young age, and always admired the local veterinarian who helped with the family’s animals. When the time came to apply for college, Dr. Shaw thought about what he really enjoyed. He liked animals, he was interested in science and puzzle-solving, and he wanted the ability to live wherever he desired. When Dr. Shaw added it all up, one choice was perfectly clear: veterinary medicine was the path for him!

Dr. Shaw is originally from San Jose, California and opened the doors of Westside Pet Hospital for business in the summer of 2012. He’s been caring for the area’s pets and animal parents here ever since. Dr. Shaw has a particular affinity for integrating Western medicine and alternative therapies to find the best solution for a pet’s ailment—he loves to put the pieces of the puzzle together to form a clear picture. Most of all, Dr. Shaw enjoys speaking directly with the area’s pet owners and being a firsthand witness to the incredible bonds that the area’s pet parents share with their four-legged companions.

Along with his wife of 25 years, Kristin, Dr. Shaw shares his home with his two sons, Doug and Nathan. Away from work, he loves to bicycle and has been riding on- and off-road for decades, and he’s also fond of skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing in the winter months.

Kiley Conery

Certified Veterinary Technician

Kiley can’t remember a time when she wasn’t fascinated by everything to do with the earth’s creatures. She’s always suspected that a career spent bettering the lives of animals would suit her well. For Kiley, helping pets to stay happy and healthy as a veterinary professional simply makes sense! She’s a Certified Veterinary Technician here at Westside Pet Hospital.

Kiley grew up in Pendleton and Fossil, Oregon, and moved to Bend in the summer of 2013 to enroll in the Veterinary Technician program at Central Oregon Community College. She graduated in 2016, and signed on here at the hospital shortly afterward. Kiley has been a part of the clinic family for more than four years and looks forward to continuing to help the area’s pets live the happiest, healthiest lives possible! She has a special passion for dental cleaning work, and she also loves to dote on new puppies and kittens.

Outside of work, Kiley likes spending time with her family and pets, traveling, and collecting. She shares her life with two loveable and loyal Boxers, Mickey Mouse and Dexter Morgan.

Jen Hill

Veterinary Assistant

Jen is a Veterinary Assistant. She came to LaPaw Animal Hospital from the Bay Area of California (yes, she is one of those! But, she is quickly becoming a proper Bendite!). She has been at LaPaw since December 2019, and we think she is awesome as an assistant AND brightens everyone’s day with her cheerful attitude (even when she’s in a “bad” mood”!). Per Jen “The best part of being a veterinary assistant is helping people keep their pets happy and healthy so they can be around for as long as possible!”.

Jen has a 12-year-old curmudgeon of a cat named Caroline and a 13 ½-year-old hysterical Pug named Rhett. Rhett can commonly be seen zipping around LaPaw in his wheelchair on a regular basis.

Started at LaPaw Animal Hospital: 2019
Interests: Bird watching, gardening, reading, jewelry making, and pottery.
