Meet Our Team

Rachelle Bianco (Veterinary Medical Technologist)

"I am originally from Canada but have lived in the United States for over 10 years. My love of animals made my decision to become a Veterinary Technologist very easy.  I received my Licensed Veterinary Technician degree in 1997.  I have one orange cat named Riley who I love immensely and try to treat all the animals I see with the same care I would want him to receive. My love of the tropics brought me to Maui and I try to take every opportunity I can to scuba dive, stand up paddle, outrigger paddle, and explore the island."

Christine Kinney (Patient Care Manager, Veterinary Medical Technologist)

"I have been working as a veterinary technician for 20 years, and am originally from San Diego, CA. What I like about this job is helping animals when they really need it.  I also enjoy the technical parts of this field, such as surgery, lab tests, and X-rays.  Getting the diagnosis is very rewarding to me. I have three cats and a dog, but I feel responsible for every animal in my yard! My new hobby is taking our dog, Larry, out on a boogie board, so that he can transition to stand-up paddle boarding.  He loves it.  I like relaxing at home with my family in my spare time."

George Dailey (Client Service Representative, Quality Assurance)

"I am from a small planet in the Rigel System (laughing). (i.e. Dallas, Texas).  What I enjoy most about veterinary medicine is being able to help people and their pets, to strengthen the human animal bond. I have 31 years of veterinary experience in all positions (except Dr.). I enjoy flower arranging, origami, and gardening and I collect yard gnomes (more laughter)."

 Terese Masters (Exam Room Nurse, Client Outreach)

"I was born and raised in Upcountry, Maui and have always had a passion for helping and caring for animals.  For the last 6 years, I have been involved in all aspects of veterinary medicine, i.e. front desk, boarding, ICU, surgery, and direct releases, just to name a few.  I've assisted with animals from pocket pets to birds, cats and dogs, to primates.  I am grateful to have a continuous education at South Shore Vet Care.  I enjoy jewelry making, working with glass, reading, rock hopping, shell collecting, and gardening.  I live with my wonderful boyfriend and our three cats, "Pickles," "Armand," and "The Schmidt."

Demian Dressler (Doctor, Owner)

"We moved to Maui when I was 6 months old, from Portland, Oregon.  I grew up with many different kinds of pets and animals during my childhood: monkeys, a basset hound, a lab mix, 3 Australian Shepherds, several Persian cats, two Domestic Short Hair Cats, a pony, pheasants, doves, quail, peacocks, lovebirds, rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, a pig, goats, turkeys, ducks, geese, and more. I raised them, was active in 4H, and showed them at the County Fair when I was young.  I graduated from Cornell Veterinary School in 1997.  I helped my mother start Pacific Primate Sanctuary in the '80's.  My special interests include laser surgery, new innovations in animal health, cancer, nutraceuticals, and taking information that could help animals from different fields to use in daily practice.  I invented a supplement called Apocaps which helps pets by restoring healthy cells in their bodies, and authored The Dog Cancer Survival Guide in 2008.  My mission is to provide the best for pets and their humans so we can all have better, longer lives.  I feel privileged to be a member of this wonderful profession."

Kellie O'Rourke (Technician Assistant)

"I grew up in the Pacific NW. I attended Penn State University as an undergraduate. I majored in Biology, with a focus on genetics an development. After undergrad, I received a master's degree from University of Pittsburgh. I enjoy all the fun Hawaiian names all the pets have.  I am the daughter of two veterinarians and have lived with a menagerie of animals growing up including: dogs, cats, parrots, ferrets, chinchillas, rats, hedgehogs, horses, sheep, ducks, chickens, and many more! I spent my summer's working at my parent's clinics, learning about veterinary medicine. I also did a 4 month internship at the National Aviary in 2010. I have an awesome Golden Retriever named Thatcher. I love spending my spare time playing outside with Thatcher, hiking, running, biking, seashell hunting, Scuba diving, and having adventures."
