Casey Elliott, DVM , Medical Director
Dr. Casey Elliott brings more than 25 years of experience in the veterinary industry and serves as Medical Director at Bigfork Animal Hospital. Her diverse background includes roles as a licensed veterinary nurse, puppy preschool instructor, practice manager, and Lecturer of Veterinary Nursing in her hometown of Perth, Western Australia.
In 2017, Dr. Elliott pursued her longstanding goal of becoming a veterinarian, earning a Bachelor of Science (Veterinary Biology) and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Murdoch University in 2021. During her studies, she served as a student representative for Royal Canin and received multiple accolades, including awards for client communication, dedication to animal care, the Companion Animal Welfare Award, and two Vice Chancellor’s Commendations for Academic Excellence.
Following graduation, Dr. Elliott practiced as a small animal veterinarian on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, before joining Bigfork Animal Hospital. Living and working in the Flathead Valley fulfills a long-held dream that began with her first visit to Montana in 2009, when she fell in love with the mountains, the snow, the community, and the Montana way of life.
Dr. Elliott lives with her husband, Heath, and their three pets: Griz, a Border Terrier; Dexter, a Burmese cat; and Vincent, a Devon Rex cat. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling and a wide range of outdoor activities, including snowboarding, cross-country skiing, hiking, horseback riding, and stand-up paddleboarding.
Her professional interests include soft tissue surgery, endocrinology, anesthesia, behavior and feline medicine. She is also deeply committed to client education and mentoring within the veterinary profession.
