Internal Medicine

This area of veterinary medicine is certainly one of the most diverse, interesting and challenging areas of medical sciences for our dedicated veterinarian, Dr. Dave S. Bonab. One can imagine with the large number of species, and different breeds of every species, along with the different tissues and organs comprising the bodies of these animals, it is one of the most demanding fields of medicine when it comes to accurately defining the abnormalities encountered in this field. In the same manner, it requires veterinarians to apply deep understanding of this vast area of science to diagnose and treat diseases and illnesses effectively. Our veterinary hospital strives to effectively communicate with pet owners in the simplest language the details of our diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, so our clients feel completely comfortable with the thought process we have for every single case. We want to bridge the knowledge gap between veterinarian and client: no question is too simple!

With our veterinary services in Markham, Unionville, Stouffville, Richmond Hill and Scarborough, in Canada we aim to keep our clients well informed, and completely satisfied with the plans of diagnostics and treatments we determine for their beloved pets.

We make sure that our clients feel all their questions are answered before we start the procedures, and that the cost involved with every single procedure is well defined and agreed upon in advance. Our ultimate goal is to bring peace of mind to our clients, so that every single dollar you spend on the health and well-being of your pet(s) is in line with the plans we share with you.
