Since graduating from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2006, Dr Ellen has practiced in veterinary and emergency medicine in the GTA and Australia. Her first clinic, Toronto’s Liberty Village Animal Hospital, opened in 2016, with Canary District following in 2022. It’s true that Dr Ellen has a soft spot for Golden Retrievers, but wherever she is, she’s usually being followed by an assortment of dogs and cats!

Dr. Grubor obtained her VMD degree from the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. She entered the veterinary medicine profession following a career in computer engineering, and hasn’t looked back since.

As Practice Manager in both our Canary District and Liberty Village locations, Joan helps everyone’s days go more smoothly. Her 10+ years of experience in veterinary practice management and emergency vet clinics means she can tackle just about any challenge that comes through the clinic doors!

I feel so lucky to be working with such a great team at Liberty Village Animal Hospital! I knew from a young age that I wanted to work with animals. Before I began my career as an RVT, I was obtaining a degree in the arts at University of Guelph. While at school, I started working at a veterinary clinic and have never looked back. I have been an RVT for 10 years and have had some great opportunities and experiences to do amazing things with my career. I have worked in small animal hospitals all over the city of Toronto as well as having worked in emergency medicine and for Neurology referral services. I also have some experience in Wildlife as I spent three months working at a wildlife sanctuary in Thailand.

Bio coming soon!

Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated with animals and the natural world. In elementary school I discovered that I thoroughly enjoyed and excelled at science courses, so this naturally led me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. After receiving my BSc in Biomedical Science from the University of Guelph, I have had the pleasure of joining the amazing team at CDAH/ LVAH as an ACA. I am currently working towards (one day) returning to school to pursue a doctor of veterinary medicine degree. In my spare time I love to travel, play flute and guitar, and read, watch, and learn about our closest relatives, the great apes.

I joined our sister clinic, Liberty Village Animal Hospital, in 2021. Working with animals has always been a calling for me and I finally decided to make that dream happen. What a joy it is to help others and their pets! I have two cats of my own, who mean the world to me: Tucker, my cuddly 4-year-old male domestic shorthair, and Grizelda, my sweet 2-year-old Scottish Straight girl.
