Dr. Brian Willows

Dr. Brian Willows graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1979. His 40+ year career has been spent almost entirely in Gananoque. Raised on a nearby dairy farm, he has had a keen interest in both domestic animals and family pets. He considers himself to be very lucky to have been able to spend his career in Gananoque. He loves this area and feels so blessed to have been able to be a part of the farming community for so long, while also getting to provide quality medicine and care to this area's pets and the people who count them as family, throughout the majority of his career.

Over the years he has always challenged himself with the latest techniques and procedures of the day and continues to do so now that he can focus entirely on the small animal only side of practice. In recent years he has taken additional courses and training in otology, dermatology, dentistry, surgery, radiology and ultrasonography to name a few. Dr. Willows values continuing education as a top priority. He has had a long and diverse career and his goal has always been to strive to learn more and to be able to provide up to date and quality medicine for his patients.

Dr. Willows has mainly retired after reaching 40 official years in practice, but we are still very lucky to have him at the clinic once in awhile.

He and his wife Judy share their home with a beagle cross named Ellie. In their free time they enjoy nearly every outdoor activity one can do from the front door of their home. Together they enjoy canoeing, swimming, fishing, hiking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, or simply relaxing on their front porch. They also enjoy a day of golf or downhill skiing with friends. They like their good ole country music! Their favourite pastime though, whether sitting around a campfire or their dining room table is entertaining family and friends! They have worked together in the veterinary field since shortly after they were married in 1976. They have raised two beautiful and talented children, Andrew and Kimberley. Andrew has 2 little girls; Adele and Evelyn. Brian and Judy have fully embraced their roles as grandparents, taking every opportunity to spend time with their grandchildren and they spoil them like grandparents should!
