Dr.Makkapati
Dr. Padmini Makkapati joined us at the end of July this year. She has been practicing for over 10 years in veterinary medicine and surgery. She has been working very hard since she started full time, taking care of our hospitalized patients 24-7. Her care and expertise have been superb assets to the care we bring to your family members.
She has been also busy at home with her recent move, organizing school for the kids and we hope eventually to allow her time for unpacking and getting some rest! She previously worked in Toronto and spent a couple of years in Cincinnati Ohio while her husband was finishing his masters. He moved back last November and we were fortunate to be able to scoop her up to join our team and she has been fantastic! She will be one of the voices that will be caring for the after hours pager as well. Thank you so much Dr. Padmini.
Dr.Mahboob
Dr. Tahir Mahboob joined us at the end of August this year. He graduated with distinction and completed his Honor’s Masters in Veterinary Microbiology as well. He has been in private practice for over 14 years. He worked subsequently mainly in Scarborough and Toronto before trying out Orlando Florida for 3 years. He has moved his family back to Canada and they are busy also getting organized for the new school year for the kids. He has had little time between moving, working, getting to know the local schools for himself and his family. We hope to get him on a more reasonable rotation for time with his family and friends. He will also be one of the caring voices for your pet’s after hours needs as well as the time and care day to day that he will be sharing his expertise. His small animal medicine and surgical experience is outstanding as well as his many years of experience with exotic medicine. Thank you for your invaluable assistance in our family Dr. Tahir!

She recently took time off for a short vacation. She spent the time with her family and friends. She is looking forward to her daughter starting at a new school early September. She and her daughter are both fluent in French and English. She is only taking one more weekend off for herself this fall in October.
