Dr. Aman Kanwar
Medical Director
Simon Fraser University; Ross University of Veterinary Medicine
Born and raised in Vancouver Canada, Dr. Kanwar always knew he wanted to be a veterinarian. He started his career sweeping up after pets in an animal clinic in his small town while completing high school and then worked in various aspects of the vet med industry, as Receptionist, Veterinary Assistant, and Veterinary Nurse before applying to vet school. Whether it's practicing on the floor or leading his hospital, Dr. Kanwar loves to discover creative ways to merge his passion for medicine and his love of working.
