Our Doctors

I was born at Kadlec Hospital and have happily lived in the Tri-Cities since that time. I was attracted to the Veterinary field when my Newfoundland was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation at Washington State University's College of Veterinary Medicine. I became excited by the field at that time as Veterinarians and staff offered advanced diagnostics and high quality care, while at the same time, showing a great deal of compassion for both my pet and me. I graduated from WSU's College of Veterinary Medicine in 2007 Magna Cum Laude. I enjoy many hobbies including water sports, fishing, snow skiing, marine aquariums, and cars. I am excited to have the opportunity to serve you and our community.

Dr. Meyer moved to Ellensburg after high school to obtain her Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Central Washington University. During college she worked at a small animal clinic where she gained a lot of experience as a veterinary assistant. After graduating from Central in 2008 she entered the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine.

Dr. Michelle Bouchey grew up in Redmond, Washington and always believed one day she would be a veterinarian. She worked at a wonderful veterinary hospital in Redmond as a veterinary assistant through high school and college. She then set out for Washington State University in Pullman, WA and gained her Bachelor's degree in Zoology in 2008. She attended WSU College of Veterinary Medicine and graduated with her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in the class 2012 with close friend Dr. Michelle Meyer. Dr. Meyer had already worked in Tri-cities and introduced Dr. Bouchey to the area which she grew to love.

After graduation Dr. Bouchey returned to western Washington where she worked for 2 years before moving to Tri-cities herself for her and her husband to settle and grow roots. She worked locally as a veterinarian for 5 years prior to starting at Vista Veterinary Hospital in January of 2020.
