Choosing a veterinarian means choosing who you'll trust during emergencies, who you'll turn to when something feels off, and who you'll rely on when decisions get complicated.
East York Animal Clinic was built around the idea that advanced surgical expertise and personalized, accessible care shouldn't exist in separate places. Since opening in April 2024, we've created a veterinary practice where specialist-level skill meets neighborhood accessibility, where relationships matter as much as outcomes, and where your pet's care is always guided by transparency and genuine investment.
Here's what makes us different.
General Practitioners with Advanced Surgical Expertise
Both Drs. Aliabadi and Nikahval are general practice veterinarians with a focus on surgery who spent years performing advanced procedures at different locations. Their expertise includes emergency surgeries like pyometra and foreign body removal, intricate eyelid corrections, brachycephalic airway procedures, plus PU and much more that require precision and experience.
Procedures that typically require a specialty hospital visit, with a long drive, higher costs, and unfamiliar faces, can often be performed here, in your neighborhood, by veterinarians with extensive training. For orthopedic cases, we partner with a traveling board-certified surgeon who performs TPLO and fracture repairs directly in our facility.
Privately Owned, Always Accountable to You
As a privately owned animal hospital, we make decisions based on what's best for your pet. We choose our own protocols and partners based on medical necessity and community needs.
When you call, you speak with someone who works here and knows your pet. You'll see the same veterinarians visit after visit, which allows us to notice subtle changes and build the kind of trust that makes difficult decisions easier to navigate together.
Same-Day Urgent Care When Minutes Matter
We hold appointment slots every day for pets who need immediate attention. Call in the morning, and we'll do everything we can to see your pet that afternoon. If emergency surgery is needed, such as a pyometra or foreign body obstruction, we can often perform it the same day.
Exotic Pet Expertise
Dr. Aliabadi provides care for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and fancy rats, offering wellness exams, surgery, and dental care. Exotic medicine requires specific training, and we're equipped to provide it three days per week.
