Dr. John Basterfield

I’ve had the privilege of practicing veterinary medicine since 1980 and am proud to be the only remaining original owner of Juan de Fuca Veterinary Clinic. Over the years, I’ve remained deeply committed to educating clients on how to provide the best preventive care for their pets. My clinical interests include dermatology, dentistry, and both soft tissue and orthopedic surgery. I’m also a strong advocate for fear-free practice, helping ensure that every pet has a calm, stress-free experience during their visits.

Outside of the clinic, my wife, Kay, and I enjoy traveling abroad and exploring the lesser-traveled roads and hidden gems of Vancouver Island. I’m proud to be part of an exceptional team that shares a passion for delivering outstanding care to both our patients and their families.
