Dr. Sunghyang Choi grew up with a passion for science and mathematics that was inspired by her mathematician father. She received her Bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from the Yonsei University in Korea in 2003 and began a career teaching biology and chemistry to high school students after graduation. It was when she traveled to India for volunteer work that she recognized her calling to become a veterinarian. When she came back home to Korea, she applied to veterinary school and successfully graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine, Konkuk University in Korea in 2013.


While in veterinary school, Dr. Choi met her husband and had two lovely children together. Eventually, they decided to move their family to her husband’s home city – Saskatoon! Dr. Choi started her veterinary career here in Saskatoon in 2018 and later joined the team at Acadia in January of 2021. Dr. Choi has a fur allergy, so she does not have pets of her own, but her allergy wasn’t enough to stop her from doing her life’s work as a veterinarian! She is a dedicated vet with a deep passion for the health and wellbeing of the animals in her care. Dr. Choi is keenly interested in surgery, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation and is especially devoted to working with patients with chronic diseases who are in need of long-term care and medical management. 

Outside of her work as a veterinarian, Dr. Choi focuses on quality time with her family. She enjoys indoor wall-climbing with her children and loves outdoor activities such as camping and fishing. Dr. Choi also loves to sew clothes for her children with her old classic sewing machine, which was passed down from her mother-in-law.

Sarah graduated as a registered veterinary technician from SIAST in 2013 and started working at Acadia shortly after; drawn to the practice because of its’ alternative therapy treatment options and use of modern veterinary medicine. Sarah grew up on an acreage with her three sisters and two brothers where she discovered her passion for animals. Her favorite weekends at the family farm consisted of heading to the nearby auction mart to pick up the next furry family member. At the age of 12, she fulfilled a childhood dream of owning a horse; after years of saving she purchased “Breeze”, an Arabian Welsh cross. Her other pets include Nevada a Shih-Tzu x Pomeranian, Rosie the Ragdoll cat, Casper the Ring-Necked Dove, and 4 fish. Sarah and her husband have a rambunctious toddler who loves all creatures big and small, just like his parents do. Sarah loves spending time with friends and family (including the furry ones), walking her dog, horseback riding, gardening, staying active, and cooking/baking/drinking wine.

She is from Saskatoon and loves camping, gardening, hiking, traveling, and basically anything involving the outdoors. Bailey has a 24-year-old red Eared Slider turtle named Sheldon.
