Affectionately known as Dr. Elsa (because her last name is self admittedly a mouth full), this veterinarian brings both a gentle soft touch to her patients and a wicked sense of humor. It may come as a surprise but Dr. Elsa is originally a native resident of beautiful South Africa and moved to Ontario with her family as a teenager. Although she misses the wildlife across the African landscape, she knows there are plenty kitties who feel as wild and mighty as an African wild cat, living within the pet families of our community! 

With a keen eye for detail, Dr. Elsa leaves no stone unturned when it comes to helping her patients. As a graduate of the Ontario Veterinary College she prides herself on providing outstanding medicine with a compassionate and empathetic approach. So, if your furball needs a bit of TLC, there's no one better than Dr. Elsa – where purrs meet perfection!

When she isn’t at work helping her four legged friends she can be found enjoying hiking trails with her spouse, snuggling her cats and reaching new heights on the rock climbing courses. No wonder she’s such a “rock-star”!
