Dr. Liza Lackner was born in Richmond, B.C. and raised in Steveston. Her love for animals drew her to veterinary medicine, and her dual Canadian/Australian citizenship led her to study at the University of Melbourne in Australia, where she received her Bachelor of Veterinary Science in December of 2008.

In 2010, she joined the Seafair Animal Clinic team, and over the past 15 years has also practiced at Ironwood Animal Hospital. For the last 8 years, Liza has been proud to serve as an owner, combining her commitment to veterinary medicine with the responsibilities of leadership. She has especially enjoyed working and living in the same community where she grew up, building lifelong connections with the families and pets she cares for.

Beyond her local practice, Liza is a member of the Canadian Animal Assistance Team (CAAT), an organization that provides much-needed veterinary services to low-income communities. Passionate and dedicated, she strives to deliver the highest standard of care to every patient she treats.  Liza lives right in the community of Steveston with her father, husband , two active boys and one amazing rescue pup, Samantha.
