Meet the team

Dr. Colin Nicholas

Born and raised 10 minutes from downtown in Calgary, Colin is happy to live in Delburne since March 2021. He wanted to be a vet since as long as he can remember and initially wanted to work in a mixed practice with an emphasis on cattle. With an opening at Maverick in 2018 he jumped on it to get his cattle fix in! Now he sees the need in Central Alberta, so he’s returning to the original plan where all species are welcome. You will sometimes see him locuming at Maverick, Sedgewick, Saskatchewan, or who knows where next. You will also see him walking the dogs and carrying Violet around the neighbourhood.

Brie-anne Nicholas

Brie was born and raised in Rocky Mountain House. She grew up with multiple cats and is looking forward to the day that Nomad has a physical location to house an orange clinic cat. After high school Brie got her medical assistant certificate and then went back to school to get her social work diploma and degree. She worked for years with children and families in the Red Deer area before becoming a full time mother to Violet. You will find her at various mom groups or working on her various gardens.

Violet Nicholas

Violet came two weeks early on December 21^st, 2023 and has been full of energy since the first week. She currently spends her time trying to stand, falling, and bumping her head, chasing the dogs around, and climbing stairs to get into trouble. Eventually Dr. Nicholas hopes to take her on calls since an extra set of hands is always useful.

Our Practice

We are currently an ambulatory practice, so we come to you! All procedures will be done in the comfort of your own home. This both lets us keep our cost low, meaning we have set our prices very competitively, but also means you and your pet get to be comfortable in a familiar place. Non prescription items such as pet food can either be processed through our this vet store, or we can order for you specifically and organize pick ups.
