Our Team
Our Veterinarians
At the heart of our clinic are our Veterinarians, the skilled and compassionate doctors who ensure your pets live their healthiest and happiest lives.
They are the leaders of our medical team, diagnosing illnesses, performing surgeries, and developing comprehensive treatment plans. With years of rigorous education and hands-on experience, our vets combine their medical expertise with a deep love for animals. Whether it’s a routine check-up or a complex medical case, they’re here to provide the best care possible.
So let’s get to know the dedicated doctors who make it all happen:
Our Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs)
Who keeps the Veterinarians in line and on time? Registered Veterinary Technicians.
Like their human counterparts, nurses, RVTs run the show here at Yonge Sheppard Animal Hospital. If you really want something done, ask a tech.
RVTs are the frontline healthcare workers for your pets. They have completed rigorous post-secondary education and passed an uncompromising standardized licensing exam to get where they are. At Yonge Sheppard Animal Hospital, our techs help our doctors, pets, and clients with everything from general wellness exams, telehealth, and triage to highly technical work like catheter placement, blood collection, and anesthesia.
So, let’s meet our MVPs:
Customer Service Representatives (CSR)
Like a Chess grandmaster, our CSRs are always three moves ahead of the rest of the team, and are the backbone of the client experience.
Need to book an appointment for your grandma’s cat or refill a prescription? Ask a CSR. Need to find out if this rash on your dog’s knee needs to be seen or if snickerdoodles are toxic to cats? A CSR can help.
From scheduling to triage, CSRs are responsible for orchestrating a seamless client experience. And it’s not an easy job; dealing with high volumes of questions, managing a demanding schedule, and addressing worried pet parents all while keeping the docs and RVTs in line can be mentally and emotionally taxing. Our CSRs understand how important it is to feel heard, supported, and understood, and they do it all with kindness and compassion – Checkmate.

Clinic Cat
Meet Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald, MD. Rescued by Dr. Chui’s family as a young kitten with a broken leg, Kevin was treated for his injuries, and cared for by the team at Yonge Sheppard Animal Hospital, where he’s been ever since. Don’t let his cute face and medical degree in podiatry fool you! He will pee on your things, including expensive medical equipment. He’s done it before and will do it again!
Kevin’s a lazy cat who will usually be found sleeping in the treatment area, or trying to find food and treats in the clinic garbage cans. With his single braincell and loud purrs, he makes for the best emotional support during some of the toughest days in hospital.
Fun Fact! Kevin was initially named Blu because we thought he was a Russian Blue. We now know that he’s just a trash panda.
