Our team continues to be here for you and your cherished pets. We are OPEN and are now able to provide a wide range of services. To learn more about the changes we have implemented in response to COVID-19 and what to expect during your next visit, click here.
I graduated in 2004 from the Ontario Veterinary College. I was born in Kingston and grew up in the downtown area. After practicing in the Kingston area for a few years, I joined Barriefield Animal Hospital in 2007.
I enjoy all aspects of small animal medicine and appreciate the special bond between pets and their families. My areas of interest include ophthalmology, canine lameness, and feline medicine. I love to help those challenging cases back to good health. My favourite thing about working here is the team approach we have at Barriefield Animal Hospital.
When not at work, I am busy at home helping my wife (who is also a veterinarian) on our hobby farm with six horses, two dogs, and five cats. I also enjoy golfing, spending time outdoors, and working around the farm. My first pet was a Domestic Long-Hair cat named Frisky. My dream job would be performing small animal surgery in the mornings, and golfing in the afternoons!
With recent changes to restrictions on businesses, we are pleased to advise that effective May 19, 2020 the restrictions on veterinary practices have been lifted. Based on these changes, below are some important updates to our operating policies.
1. WE CAN NOW SEE ALL CASES BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
This includes vaccines, wellness exams, blood work, heartworm testing, spays and neuters, dental services, and more!
2. SAFETY MEASURES TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE
Continue our "closed waiting room" policy to protect our clients and staff. When you arrive, please remain outside the hospital and use your cell phone to call us. We will take a history of your pet's health and discuss any concerns. A staff member will then meet you outside to bring your pet into the hospital for an examination. The Veterinarian will call you to discuss the recommended treatment plan. After your appointment, a staff member will return your pet to you outside, and take care of any needed medications and payment.
Continue the use of credit cards as the preferred payment method.
Continue with curbside pickup of food and medication (unless you have used our online store and are having your order delivered directly to your home). To place an order through our online store, visit our website and click on "Online Store".
3. ONLINE CONSULTATIONS ARE AVAILABLE
If you wish to connect with a veterinarian via message, phone or video, visit our website and follow the "Online Consultation" link.
