Dr. Nya Gilmartin 

I received my veterinary degree in 2003 from Oregon State University and joined the staff at Orchard Hills Animal Hospital in July 2008. While I enjoy all aspects of veterinary medicine, my strong interests are in pain management, anesthesia, internal medicine and senior pet care. Outside of work, I enjoy indoor and outdoor gardening, kayaking, traveling, and exploring Portland's dining scene when I can. My partner Dan and I currently share our house with two sweet kitties - Lucy Lu and Olive.

Tracy, Lead Receptionist & Front Office Manager

I have been with Orchard Hills Animal Hospital for nearly 20 years (!) and will work here as long as I work. The clients and patients feel like family after all these years. I feel blessed to have found a job I love going to everyday - I was born and raised on a farm so I guess it comes as no surprise I love working where I am in contact with animals. I have a 5 year old miniature dachsund I actually acquired from working here and he is the best little guy ever. In my free time I love camping and hiking all over the Pacific Northwest. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful area!

Nick, Kennel Attendant

I started volunteering at the West Columbia Gorge Humane Society. It was then that I found my passion with animals.From there, I started volunteering at Orchard Hills Animal Hospital as a requirement to pursue being a veterinarian through college. I love working with animals and I have two dogs of my own. Little Ann is the puppy I've know since she was born. She is now 5, Dutches is my older dog (age 16) who my family rescued from being put down. Her birthday is on Valentines Day. I will always love animals and hope to one day make a career out of that. I am big on winter sports and have been skiing since I was 4 years old. I also enjoy tennis and played for the varsity team at Washougal High School.
