Experienced Veterinarian and Animal Hospital in Toronto Built Around You
Welcome to East York Animal Clinic, where advanced surgical expertise meets personalized, accessible care. Reopened in 2024 by two highly experienced veterinarians who chose to practice comprehensive veterinary medicine in a community setting, offering advanced procedures alongside routine wellness exams, dental cleanings, and preventive care.
We're privately owned, which means we build our practice around what's best for your pet and your family. You'll work with the same team visit after visit, building relationships that allow us to notice subtle changes and care for your companion with both precision and familiarity.
Whether your pet needs same-day urgent care, advanced soft tissue surgery, or treatment for rabbits and small mammals, East York Animal Clinic is here — with the skills, equipment, and heart to support their health through every chapter.
Experience the East York Difference
Quality veterinary care is about how supported you feel during decisions, how comfortable your pet is during visits, and whether you can access the care they need when they need it. Here's what you can expect at East York Animal Clinic:
Veterinarians Practicing in Your Neighborhood
Both of our veterinarians are exceptionally skilled in surgery and are capable of performing complex procedures. Advanced surgical skills are available here, without the specialty hospital commute — or price tag.
Privately Owned, Relationship-Focused
We make our own decisions about care protocols, pricing, and partnerships, which means you'll always speak with someone who works here, knows your pet, and has a genuine stake in their well-being.
Same-Day Access for Urgent Concerns
We hold appointment slots every day for sick or injured pets. When your dog isn't eating or your cat seems off, call us in the morning and we'll do everything we can to see them that day.
Veterinarians Partnering for Your Pet’s Best Life
Behind every appointment, procedure, and treatment plan are the veterinarians who make it happen, and at East York, those veterinarians are highly trained doctors who chose to practice locally.
Drs. Aliabadi and Nikahval spent years honing their skills, publishing respected articles, and bettering the lives of their patients across various practices before reopening East York Animal Clinic in 2024. They bring an advanced surgical background to a neighborhood setting where families can access it easily and build long-term relationships.
Together, they've built a practice where surgical precision meets accessible, personalized care.
Veterinary Services for Toronto Pets
From preventive wellness to emergency surgery, we're equipped to support your pet's health at every stage of life. Each service is delivered with the same attention to detail and commitment to clear, honest communication.
Wellness Care
Annual (or biannual) physical exams, personalized vaccine protocols, parasite prevention plans, and nutritional guidance help your pet thrive, while tailored screening tests catch early-stage disease processes before they become evident.
Dentistry
Every dental procedure includes full-mouth digital X-rays to catch periodontal disease below the gumline, where it develops long before visible symptoms appear. We provide complete dental care from routine cleanings to advanced extractions.
Surgery
Our talented veterinarians perform complex procedures in-house, ranging from brachycephalic airway corrective surgeries to foreign body and bladder stone removals. For orthopedic cases, we partner with a traveling board-certified surgeon.
Exotic Pet Care
Dr. Aliabadi offers specialized care for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and fancy rats, including wellness exams, illness treatment, spay/neuter, and dental procedures. Exotic appointments are available three days per week—please call ahead to schedule.
