About us
VCA Toronto Veterinary Referral and Emergency Hospital (TVEH) is a large multispecialty referral and emergency hospital located in Toronto, Ontario. We provide specialty services in surgery, internal medicine, critical care, diagnostic imaging, neurology, cardiology and rehabilitation. Our 16,000 sq.ft. facility is home to 5 operating theatres supported by a large ICU staffed 365 days a year by board-certified critical care specialists.
I have accessed both the emergency service and the neurologist at this clinic, and have had nothing but positive experiences. We have never felt rushed, always able to ask all our questions before making any decisions. We have never felt pushed to do any unnecessary testing on treatment, vets happy to work with us to figure out a reasonable plan of action. I had to take my dog twice in one day after he had a second seizure, they did not charge me for a double appointment, and both vets we saw were great – Maxwell D- Google Review

About this role
Our critical care facility provides expertise in complex case management and ventilatory support with a state of the art Drager mechanical ventilator. Our surgical equipment inventory includes in-house CT and MRI, arthroscopic and laparoscopic equipment, a full complement of general soft tissue, orthopedic and neurosurgical equipment and a mobile C-arm.
VCA TVEH offers an open and co-operative hospital and includes staff in its operational decision making. Our doctors work as a collaborative team and not as separate departments which we believe is how we are able to provide world class patient care and client service.
