About Dr. Lori Gibson

Dr. Lori Gibson received her undergraduate education at the University of Portland, Portland, OR, and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Oregon State University College of Veterinary Medicine, Corvallis, OR, in partnership with Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine, Pullman, WA, in 1999.

She began her veterinary career as an Associate Veterinarian working with small animals at a clinic in West Linn.  She has also worked in the medical device industry managing projects related to drug-eluting intracoronary stents, and pacemakers and defibrillators for use in human clinical medicine.  Desiring a return to her “roots”, Dr. Gibson began Compassionate Care because she recognized the great need for a full-time home euthanasia service available by appointment or on an emergency basis, and dedicated to pet owners and their companions.

Dr. Gibson has a current license to practice veterinary medicine in Oregon and Washington, and is a member of the Portland Veterinary Medical Association (PVMA), the Oregon Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA), the Washington State Veterinary Medical Association (WSVMA), and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).  She also currently serves the veterinary community as an Executive Board Member of the Portland Veterinary Medical Association.

Dr. Gibson lives in Tigard, OR, and spends her free time with her husband Scott and 3 year old son Noa, enjoying great Portland cuisine, and attending and supporting local events.  The family have two cats – Zane and Mila.
