Brian Marshall DVM, MS
Dr. Marshall hails from Yarmouth, a tiny farming town in southeastern Iowa where the dogs and cats outnumbered the people. He attended Iowa State University as an undergrad and veterinary student, graduating in 1996. After graduation, he completed a small animal internship at a large emergency/referral hospital in Ottawa, Ontario. He then spent two years at The Ohio State University studying neuromedicine and surgery. While at Ohio State, Dr. Marshall also completed a master's degree in veterinary clinical sciences studying the ototoxic effects of an antibiotic called amikacin. Dr. Marshall moved to Colorado in 1999 where he worked at the Aspen and Carbondale Animal Hospitals for five years. He moved to the Durango area in 2006, working at the Bayfield Animal Hospital until he purchased the Baker's Bridge Veterinary Clinic in 2010. Dr. Marshall lives with his dog, Jade, two cats, Nicodaemus and Roland and two horses, Chip and Renoir. He enjoys hunting, fly fishing, telemark skiing, horseback riding, mountain biking and goofing around with the computer.

Meet our staff!
Jaden (Jade)
Jade is our official greeter, part-time 'lab work' and dog biscuit taste-tester. She can usually be found sleeping under Dr. Marshall's desk or as a nose sticking through the half-door in the reception area checking out new arrivals.
Jill Brazell
Jill is our head technician, chief ordering officer and general know-it-all. She grew up in Durango on the banks of the Animas River. She began working at BBVC in 1994, a short six months after the clinic opened. Jill enjoys horseback riding, recreating at Lake Powell and dog agility. She has a border collie named Spyder who may be the smartest 'person' in the clinic.
Spyder
Spyder wears many hats around the clinic. He can usually be found acting as assistant receptionist, second-string biscuit-taster and full-time squirrel chaser. He also enjoys dog agility and lounging under the counter.
Patricia Dougherty
Born and raised in Phoenix, Az....spent 6 years in the US Army.....attended Maryland University and graduated in 1991 with a BS in Business Management......began a career with State Farm Insurance that lasted 15 years before deciding to do what I have always wanted to do...work with animals!!!! Former Director with the La Plata County Humane Society led to my friendship with Dr. Cohen and employment with Bakers Bridge since 2007. I have 3 dogs (all champion mutts), 2 physically and mentally challenged cats (my lap dogs I always wanted) and whatever rodent(s) decide to occasionally enter my abode and play with my cats! During my off time I am either boating/snowmobiling or travelling!
Bullet
Bullet arrived at our clinic in April of 2007 after being shot through the abdomen. Dr. Cohen heroically removed his spleen, two loops of bowel and the bullet. He is now our official 'clinic cat' and can be found prowling the grounds for ground squirrels or sleeping in the window.
