A Personal Approach
Animals deserve the very best care possible. Just as humans are treated by specialists for a variety of medical reasons, animals should be treated by veterinary specialists when advanced care is warranted. Surgery often warrants that. ACVS Board-Certified Veterinary Surgeons can provide that service. We can provide that type of surgery at your facility by board-certified surgeon Dr. Krista Halling DVM, Dip ACVS, CCRP.

After graduating in 1995 and obtaining her RVT the same year, she worked in regular practice until 2006, when she joined the surgery team at Mississauga Oakville. There she received advanced anesthesia training under board certified anesthesiologists. Under their supervision she learned to perform epidurals and intraarticular blocks. Since 2006, she has worked exclusively with board certified specialists.
