Dr. Grant Cumberbirch
Principal and Veterinarian
Upon Graduation, Grant secured employment back in his old neighbourhood at Dunbar Veterinary Hospital under the tutelage of Dr Rex Meares. It was Rex’s influence that instilled the essential elements into him on being a thorough, progressive, and compassionate veterinarian. In 1987, following the sale of Dr Meares’ hospital, Grant and his newlywed wife Armida started Amherst Veterinary Hospital on Dunbar and 26th Avenue. The hospital was forced to relocate to its present site in 1996 due to demolition and redevelopment and now stands at 4th and Alma in Jericho Village.
Grant’s interests in veterinary medicine span the broad scope of all he has encountered. He enjoys surgical challenges, orthopaedics, dermatology, and internal medicine. Recently, with the acquisition of an ultrasound unit, he has continued to challenge himself through numerous courses and continuing education courses to achieve proficiency in this invaluable diagnostic tool. It is his wish to continually upgrade and expand his expertise, personnel, and facility to provide the most comprehensive, diagnostic, and therapeutic facility for the care of your pets.
Apart from the technical side of medicine, Grant believes that communication and compassion are essential elements to caring for both you and your pets. It has been his goal to ensure that this culture is reflected in the staff he and Armida employ at Amherst.
