Mt. Scott Animal Clinic Doctors & Staff
Dr. Mariah Kimball
Medical Director
Dr. Kimball graduated from the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine in 2006. She worked for 8 years in Orlando, FL – seeing dogs, cats, and many small pocket pets, birds and reptiles. Because Dr. Kimball missed basic things like: seasons, hiking and camping (or ANY outdoor activity that didn’t result in the potential for heat stroke or fire-ant bites) she moved herself, her husband and her 4 legged family to the Pacific Northwest. Since then, they have added two children to the mix, so they are always on their toes. Dr. Kimball’s areas of interest are Dentistry and soft tissue surgery, but has extensive knowledge in the areas of dermatology and allergies, as well as Internal medicine, and nutrition. Dr Kimball is a strong advocate for the Fear-free approach and culture that Mt Scott Animal Clinic has focused on. In her free time, Dr. Kimball also enjoys Kayaking, baking, throwing ceramics, silver clay jewelry making, antiquing, and exploring the Portland area with her family.

Dr. Jacqueline Houser
Veterinarian
I’ve lived in Oregon my whole life, and was raised in the Portland Metro area. I received my undergrad degree from University of Oregon, and went to vet school at Oregon State University. After graduating, I did a one year rotating internship at a specialty referral hospital in Portland, and then worked in emergency and urgent care in the area for years. Now I’m very excited to be able to establish longer relationships with my patients and their families in general practice. My professional interests include feline medicine and surgery. In my free time I enjoy camping with my dogs, reading (ideally while cuddling cats), playing video games, kayaking, playing chess, and other generally nerdy hobbies. I have two geriatric dogs who have been with me through vet school and my whole career; Bruno the poodle mix, and Lily the border collie mix. We recently lost our third musketeer, Zooey, our sweet and sassy old kitty. But we have since welcomed a bonded pair of cowboys into our home, named Rauru and Deku.
Dr. Alexandria Sandiford
Veterinarian
Dr. Sandiford grew up on a hobby farm with a menagerie of animals in Central Oregon. She completed her Bachelor of Science at Portland State University then went on to earn her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2018 at Oregon State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Her professional interests include cardiology, dentistry, and behavior- although she enjoys almost all aspects of the veterinary field. When not at work she can be found doing chores with her husband, chasing her toddler, or pestering her Clydesdale, ‘Kevin’. In addition to Kevin, she has 2 other horses, a goat, a Great Dane, 2 cats, and 1 very special duck who has her own personal guard goose.
