 Dr. Matt is dedicated to providing high-quality, affordable veterinary care to pets and their owners. His passion for veterinary medicine began in his childhood, growing up on a small farm where he developed a deep love for animals while also experiencing the challenges of providing them with the best care, despite limited financial resources. This sparked his desire to help both pets and their owners in an economically accessible way. He completed his undergraduate pre-veterinary medicine courses at Canisius University in Buffalo before earning his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2009. Dr. Matt’s professional journey brought him to Beattie Pet Hospital where he was attracted to the hospital's modern approach focused on efficiency and affordability.
