Emilia Balc, DVM
|
Hello, I’m Dr. Emilia Balc. My love for animals began early in life as I grew up with a variety of species, including cats and dogs. I enjoyed observing their life stages as well as their behavior interacting with each other and with people. That early education has been valuable to me as a Veterinarian. I was initially licensed as a Veterinarian in Romania in 1997 and I was also a co-owner of a Veterinary clinic until 2006 before I immigrated to Canada. I continued to work at all levels in Veterinary clinics and Emergency hospitals, sharing my knowledge and love of animals until I obtained my Canadian Veterinary License. I have recently joined the Westmount Animal Clinic team and look forward to continue to pursue my passion and dedication to helping animals.
My life and career paths have been a means of building personal resilience and strength. I am interested in nutrition and healthy living. My children and I love cycling and hiking. We have a pomchi puppy named Easter and a cat named, Calista. |
