Stephen deGraaf, DVM

Stephen grew up around the Nanton Vet Clinic since elementary school. An agriculture degree from the University of Alberta was followed by graduation from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon in 2009. For the first five years after vet school, Stephen worked at a mixed animal veterinary clinic in Innisfail before returning home in 2014. He has bought into the clinic as an owner along with Drs. Mike Rhodes and Dirk deGraaf. He enjoys the mixed challenges of mixed practice: particularly enjoying bovine cases, and dentistry both equine and small animal. Outside of work he is active as a Scout leader and enjoys many outdoor pursuits such as hiking and camping, though much spare time in recent years has been dedicated to his participation in the Innisfail Legion Pipe Band. At home his cat Nata may be found sitting on his lap or begging for more food, unless the bagpipes come out, at which point she cannot be found. He also has another cat Oreo, who despte his “outdoor” status, spends most of his time in the back entry. (Source)
