Carol

Client Service Coordinator

Carol spent her early years in Chicago until her parents grew tired of the cold winters and moved the family to the Los Angeles area. She discovered her love of art while in high school and went on to earn a BA in Graphic Communication and Design at Cal State U LA. After freelancing in design firms and ad agencies there, Carol left her family and friends to pursue a life with her boyfriend, Kevin, a Washington native, in Bellevue. She loved the beauty and slower pace of the Pacific Northwest. The two eventually married, had two daughters, and adopted their first pet, a feisty calico named Renata who lived to be 22.

After the kids started school, Carol took a part-time job at a friend’s animal hospital. She grew to love working with animals and their owners. She found there was always something new to learn about veterinary medicine, and after 20 years, it’s never been boring. Her two current pets are a gentle tuxedo named Kiki and a quirky tabby named Ginger, who is slowly learning to relax around humans. Outside of work, Carol enjoys crafting, photography, quilting, and hiking. Carol came to Bellevue Animal Hospital in October 2021.

Lindsey

He was accepted into the Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in St. Kitts and Nevis, which provided his first introduction to the rest of the world. The small island of St. Kitts offered many outdoor activities, like scuba diving, hiking, boating, and surfing. He has perfected them all… kind of. He completed his residential year in Melbourne, Australia, where he, again, was able to travel and continue to learn.

Dr. Deibner was able to see every continent, besides Antarctica, before starting his career at Banfield Pet Hospital. Wanting to break into private practice, he joined the amazing team at Bellevue Animal Hospital. Outside of the work he does for them, he enjoys car shows, hiking, kayaking, playing guitar, and trying to brush his cats, Cheddah and Aji’s, teeth. He does this all while his fiancé, who is also a veterinarian, laughs. Anyone with a cat knows this is a feat in and of itself. He is very excited to meet all your wonderful furry family members.
