Dr. Sabrina DiDonato

Full-time Associate Veterinarian

 

Sabrina's passion and admiration for animals began at a young age while she grew up surrounded by hamsters, rabbits, reptiles, birds, and a true love for cats. Fueled by her dedication towards advocating for the wellbeing of all types of animals has driven her to naturally pursue a career in veterinary medicine.  After completing her undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto, she worked as the Program Director for Pawsitively Pets where she worked with and continued to educate children about different types of exotic animals. Sabrina completed her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University in Melbourne in Australia where she gained valuable experience working with farm animals in the rural setting as well as seeing more exotic animals up close in their unique homes in the wilderness. Completing many different veterinary placements both in Australia and Canada, including previously working with Dr Luckwaldt, has prepared Sabrina for the challenge of helping as many different species of animal as she can, and has strengthened her love for them even more. Sabrina has come full circle now working in and moving back to the East York neighbourhood that she first called home. Sabrina and her husband enjoy spending time cheering on the Raptors with their cat Mia, and dog Toby.

 

Dr. Camille Hildebrandt 

Full-time Associate Veterinarian
 

As far back as she can remember, Dr. Camille always felt she had a strong connection with animals of all kinds. She completed her Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Guelph and graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2023. Throughout her time in school, she developed a keen interest in exotic animal medicine that motivated her to work as a summer student at Greenwood Park Animal Hospital. The experience she gained here confirmed her passion for exotics animals and allowed Dr. Camille to begin making connections with pet owners in Leslieville and surrounding communities. Having been a pet owner of many small mammals herself, she understands the need for access to quality veterinary care for exotic animals and is very excited to be starting her career with the team at Greenwood Park Animal Hospital. Dr. Camille has interests in preventative medicine, senior pet care and quality of life, and community outreach. In her spare time, you can find Dr. Camille exploring new hiking trails, reading a book, or convincing her partner to get another pet!

She completed several mixed animal rotations, as well as a special training program with the Atlantic Veterinary College in PEI in acupuncture and complimentary medicine. Specializing in caregiver support, she prides herself on helping families understand the care their loved ones need.
