Summary

All my life I was connected to animals as my parent was also a veterinarian. After graduation from Odesa (Ukraine) state agrarian university from a faculty of Veterinary Medicine I worked for a few years for a state clinic and then opened own small veterinary clinic where I had been working for almost 15 years. In 2019 I and my wife and kids (8 altogether) immigrated to Canada where undertook recertification process in both AVMA and CVMA. In 2021 just after passing NAVLE I started working in a local veterinary clinic as a general practitioner. In 2023 we became Canadian citizens and I started working in Tacoma vet hospital as a GP associate. I have passion in treating companion animals and love surgeries.
