Jeffrey F. Duke, DVM

Dr. Duke grew up in McMinnville, Oregon, and received his veterinary degree from Oregon State University in 1984. He joined Pilchuck the same year as a large animal veterinarian, but by 1987 had decided to dedicate his practice exclusively to small animals. Dr. Duke’s areas of special interest are surgery, both soft tissue and orthopedic, and small animal reproduction. He was instrumental in Pilchuck’s addition of laser surgery technology in 2001. In 2004, Dr. Duke received the AAHA Waltham Award for contributions made in small animal veterinary medicine outside of the United States, in recognition of his four trips to Mongolia to provide hands-on training and resources for veterinarians there. He is active in his church, enjoys riding his street bike on sunny days, traveling, and boating with his family

Timothy D. John, DVM

It was while working for his family veterinarian in the San Francisco Bay area that Dr. John decided to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. He attended Oregon State University, receiving his veterinary degree in 1990, and joined Pilchuck as a small animal practitioner the same year. Dr. John’s special interests are internal medicine and cancer therapy. He is known for his easygoing nature and good humor. Though serious about medicine, Dr. John is a prankster at heart, and not above providing well-timed comic relief for his staff. His time away from the hospital is spent with his wife, two children, and the animals that make up their “farmette” - three horses, three dogs, two cats, and eight chickens. He also enjoys camping and fishing.

Taylor Wallace, DVM

By the age of three, Dr. Wallace knew she wanted to become a veterinarian. 
Throughout her childhood in Seattle she "saved" many a pet, and at age
twelve started working in a veterinary hospital. Dr. Wallace attended Washington State University, receiving her veterinary degree from WSU's College of Veterinary Medicine in 1985. She joined Pilchuck's team of small animal practitioners in January 2007. Dr. Wallace enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine, but finds challenging and difficult internal medicine cases especially exciting. Besides work, Dr. Wallace enjoys volunteering, traveling, hiking and scuba. If you see her outside of the hospital, you might think that you're seeing double as she frequently shares these adventures with her identical twin sister, Robin. Dr. Wallace has always liked the diversity of city living and currently shares her Capital Hill home in Seattle with two "fabulous" cats, Russell and Owen.

Kevin Wilson, DVM

Dr. Wilson, another Oregon native, says it wasn’t quite divine intervention that led him to become a veterinarian, but rather a nagging voice in the back of his head telling him that it was what he was supposed to do with his life. He completed his veterinary degree at Oregon State University, College of Veterinary Medicine in 2001, and joined Pilchuck’s staff of small animal practitioners shortly thereafter. While working on an undergraduate degree in Animal Science, he traveled to Senegal, Africa, to provide veterinary herd management for the tribes of the Sahel Region. Dr Wilson’s interest in wellness programs has been a driving force from the outset of his veterinary career. His special interests at Pilchuck include dentistry and soft tissue surgery, with a focus on disease prevention and pain management. Dr. Wilson is an avid runner who enjoys distance racing. His best canine friend is, of course, a Greyhound.
