Meet Our Team

Dr. Beaupré is a life long equestrian. She enjoys all facets of equine veterinary work. Her focus is on mare reproduction, integrative medicine (veterinary spinal manipulation and acupunctures), biomechanics/lameness, and preventative medicine. She received her veterinary degree from Colorado State University College (CSU) of Veterinary Medicine in 2005, her certification in veterinary acupuncture from CSU in 2005, and her certification in Veterinary Spinal Manipulation Therapy from The Healing Oasis, Sturtevant WI in 2008. Emilie has practiced in Northern Vermont since 2005 starting with her internship at Vermont Large Animal Clinic.

Dr. Betsy first came to VLAC in 2009 for her internship after graduating from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. She chose VLAC then because of its personalities and principles. Starting her career with Dr. Phil in Vermont provided Dr. Betsy with a solid foundation in practicing equine medicine and surgery. After her internship she enjoyed working at prominent equine specific practices in New York, but always fondly remembered her time in Vermont and is elated to return. Dr. Betsy’s interests include advanced dental care and performance evaluations. Whether the horse is an athlete or a family member, Dr. Betsy knows the strength in developing a cohesive support team. Dr. Betsy believes in working hard and collaborating with everyone involved in the horse’s life to make a plan for the future that best supports each individual horse’s needs and health. Her focus is always the horse and what is best for the horse.

Dr. Betsy grew up active in agriculture on her family’s dairy farm. She had the privilege of riding and bonding with several special horses in the eventing world and Pony Club. Nowadays, Dr. Betsy is fueled by a combination of passion for the profession, sweet coffee and a large variety of musical playlists. In her free time she enjoys running, skiing and spending as much outside adventure time as possible with her husband, two daughters and two dogs.

Dr. Alex Brunet grew up riding horses in New Jersey. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Biology from Ramapo College of New Jersey and earned her DVM at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. After completing her internship here at VLAC, Dr Alex joined our team as a full time associate. Her professional interests include internal medicine, preventative care and sports medicine. In her spare time Alex enjoys various outdoor activities with her huskies, Bear and Rainier. She also volunteers for endurance races, both for horses and sled dogs. 

Dr. Molly Witters attended Middlebury College where she earned her BA in Environmental Studies.  In 2009 she graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School and returned to her home state of Vermont, where she has been practicing since.  Dr. Molly has a deep love and appreciation for the diversity of the equine industry in Vermont, and the people and animals who define it.  She has a strong interest in preventative and palliative care, and enjoys the small things about her job, from the farm dogs to the kids who love their ponies.  Dr. Molly is part of a growing movement of equine veterinarians involved in the conversation around professional sustainability, and in offering her services in a relief veterinarian role, she also hopes to be part of the solution.
