Reliable Derrydale Animal Hospital was created by Dr. Zaharchuk on July 7, 1986. Initially, it was located in a Victorian home on Hwy 10 in Brampton. We moved to our current location in 1997, where we have remained ever since. Dr. Zaharchuk is a 1981 graduate of Ontario Veterinary College who founded the Practice. She is also a dedicated mother to Taryn and Amanda, her two daughters, with her wife Jan Zaharchuk. Dr. Zaharchuk has a passion for avian and exotic animals and always ensures they are well-cared for. She also held many leading seats on the board of directors of the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association over the years. Like his owner and family, Dr. Zaharchuk enjoys a healthy work-life balance, spending quality time with his favorite Aengus. His favorite pastimes also include enjoying quality wine and teeing off at the golf course.
Multiple reviews appreciate the Derrydale Animal Hospital's dedicated staff, explaining their surgery and treatment processes, with Dr. Z and Dr. Tim frequently mentioned. Clients often mention their concern for the comfort of their animals at Derrydale, which also provides "curbside drop off and pick up," according to one reviewer. Many pets have success stories, where Dr. Z's gentleness and surgical skills are hailed, with one reviewer mentioning how helpful and soothing the clinic was when their pet, Mishka, died. Customers indicate that they are constantly updating and reassuring them before, during, and after their appointments through their commitment to a gently informed patient experience. Another crowd-sourced recommendation to "absolutely" visit the clinic is that it has a consistent high level of customer service and above-and-beyond medical care for every animal. Many people note that the staff--not just the veterinarians--love pets and show they matter. Therefore, Derrydale Animal Hospital has rave reviews.
