Meet the Staff

Dr. Yanneth Shuykin-Bentley DVM

Hello and Welcome to North Hills Animal Hospital!

Most of you know me as Dr. Jeannette.

I finished my undergraduate studies at Georgia State University and received my DVM degree from the University of Georgia in 2013. I hold severaI certificates in advanced orthopedic surgery and I am member of the AVMA.

Years ago I worked as a relief veterinarian and I noticed how expensive a veterinary visit could be! Therefore, when I bought North Hills, I made a commitment to provide high quality medicine at reasonable fees for all. North Hills is a one doctor practice.

For fun, I ride my motorcycle to the GA mountains. I live with my teens, my beloved husband Fred, 4 cats and one dog-Thor.

I was born in Piedras Negras, Mexico City, raised in Atlanta, Ga. I graduated from Elizabeth Andrews in 2009.

Since a young age I had a passion for animals, growing up my brother and I had a sheep dog, parakeets and a tank full of gold fish. Pets are wonderful companions for children and adults.

I can honestly say my fur baby Dumpling bring nothing but joy to my household. One of my life long dream is to travel to Thailand and visit Monkey Island, that’s an experience that I know I will remember for the rest of my life.

I was born in Tulua, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, and I currently live in Atlanta, GA. From a young age, I developed a connection with animals, which led me to study Veterinary Assistance for 3 years and Zootechnics for 2 years in Colombia. My education has given me a strong foundation in animal care, handling, and welfare. I am passionate about working with animals and bringing empathy, dedication, and a strong dense of responsibility to every task I undertake.

In my free time, I enjoy exercising, spending time with my pets, and exploring new places, which fuels my curiosity and love for nature. My professional goal is to continue growing in the field of animal care, contribute my knowledge to environments dedicated to animal health and well-being, and keep learning and evolving in this rewarding field.

Andrés - Vet Assistant

My name is Andrés Fernando Acevedo, I am a veterinary assistant, born in Bucaramanga, Colombia. From an early age, I developed a deep interest in animal welfare, which led me to study Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science in Colombia. During my academic training, I acquired technical and scientific knowledge that I now apply responsibly in the daily practice of my profession.

I specialize in the clinical support of companion animals and in assisting with veterinary procedures, always focused on providing an ethical, efficient, and committed service to animal health. In addition to my experience with domestic mammals, I have a particular interest in the study and management of insects, due to their fundamental role in ecosystems.

Beyond my professional life, I am the father of two children, ages 8 and 2, and I find in fatherhood a constant source of motivation and balance. My daily work is guided by values such as dedication, respect for life, and responsibility in my interactions with both animals and the people who care for them.

My goal is to continue developing in the veterinary field, contributing to the promotion of animal health and to strengthening the human-animal bond through high-quality professional practice.

Hi, I'm Ofe. I've been working at North Hills for 2 years, where every day I continue to grow my passion for animal care and well-being. I was born and raised in El Salvador, surrounded by wildlife and nature, which taught me from an early age to value, love, and respect animals. Today, that connection is the foundation of my work and the dedication I put into every patient that comes to our clinic. At home, I'm a proud dog and cat mom, always surrounded by furry love.

I love kittens and I always take care of them when someone brings one in. Currently, I am actively involved in kitten nursing, rescue and adoptions.

Thor is an English Cream Golden Retriever and he is a very important staff member at North Hills.

Thor is our blood donor!!

aSo far Thor has saved the life of many of our precious patients. Because of his important role, every time Thor donates blood he goes under hospitalization until we make sure he is back to normal.

He loves cats although cats sometimes don't appreciate when he checks on them. We keep Thor very healthy by administering his heartworm and flea prevention on monthly basis. He is under daily physical exams as Dr. Shuykin is his owner.
