Marnie Burgoyne grew up in North Hollywood and attended Whitman College in Walla Walla WA, earning a Bachelor’s of Arts in Environmental Studies with a concentration in Biology. She then attended the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, earning her degree in 2013. Following graduation, Dr. Marnie completed a rotating internship in emergency medicine, general practice, shelter medicine, internal medicine, and surgery at an animal referral and emergency center in Arizona. Moving from one incredibly hot city to another, she took a position as an associate veterinarian in Bakersfield where she worked for nearly 3 years as a general practice and emergency clinician. While in Bakersfield, Dr. Marnie also worked as a shelter spay and neuter surgeon. She moved to Ventura in the Spring of 2017, when she and her family had the opportunity to relocate from Bakersfield. Her husband, Dr. Jon Dickson, is also a veterinarian at Ohana Pet Hospital. When she’s not spending time with her family, she enjoys soccer, surfing, mountain biking, hiking, and playing board games.
