Dr. Goodall wanted to be a veterinarian from the age of 12, and thanks to his first dog ‘Mishka’ and his high school home-room teacher, was able to sled race with the Siberian Husky Club in southern Ontario. Dr. Jeff graduated from the Atlantic Veterinary College in 1994, after obtaining a BSc from Dalhousie University. After graduation, Dr. Jeff traveled extensively through western Canada over four years as a mixed animal veterinarian, before returning to his native Nova Scotia. Dr. Goodall splits his time between caring for his clients’ pets, his own, and his (very) understanding family.
Dr. Goodall is a Level 1 Certified Laser Clinician, and attends regular continuing education programs, frequently exceeding the minimum annual hours required for licensing as, he believes there is so much our practice can offer any one of our patients. Also, Dr. Jeff is a member of many Special Interest associations.
As of July 2024, Dr Goodall is no longer seeing Reptiles or other exotic patients, instead recommending these patients be seen by the internists at Martime or Coastal Veterinary Care Centres. We apologize for any inconvenience this will cause.
