Dr Marc Glavin

Dr Glavin grew up in Ottawa and returned here to practice following graduation from the University of Guelph in 1991. He has loved animals from an early age (even though his parents were not pet people). He would bring home stray, injured cats and do his best to help them. Along the way he developed strong relationships with the local area veterinarians and from them he developed his passion.

Dr Glavin's areas of interest include Nuclear Medicine, Soft Tissue Surgery, Pain Control, Senior Care and Laser Therapy (which is very helpful in relieving the aches and pains of old age.) Dr Glavin also enjoys teaching and mentoring veterinary students and young graduates.

Dr Glavin and his family enjoy traveling, bicycling and hiking. His lovely wife, Susanna is a vital part of the hospital in the role of hospital administrator. Their 3 children are growing rapidly and making them very proud in their endeavors. The eldest, Eric, recently graduated from law school, Maya is interested in film school and Monica is studying dentistry. They have 2 wonderful Shih Tzus, Jasper and Taylor, who was born blind and came to the family through the hospital. Both dogs are loved very much.

In his spare time Dr Glavin enjoys coaching touch football and helping young people achieve their goals.

Dr. Georgia Kritikos

Dr Sabrina Tracey

Dr Tracey grew up in the Ottawa Valley and knew from an early age that she wanted to be in a health care profession after suffering from many sports injuries. She first attended Brock University and obtained a degree in Kinesiology. After volunteering with a local Chiropractor in St Catharines she knew right away that chiropractic was the path she wanted to take. After shadowing Dr Alison Seely on her summer break it didn't take long to discover how beneficial chiropractic can also be for both large and small animals. Dr Tracey headed to Toronto to obtain her Doctor of Chiropractic Degree and was able to complete her additional animal chiropractic training in Brantford while she was there. After finishing her schooling Dr Tracey moved closer to home and she has been part of the Carp Road Animal Hospital family since 2014.

Dr Tracey works with large and small animals on an individual basis. Each animal is evaluated and treated depending on their case whether it be a spinal, extremity or soft tissue injury. She uses an alternative health care approach to help alleviate and restore function. Chiropractic care can be used as an adjunct to regular veterinary care and Dr Tracey will collaborate with your veterinarian to find the best course of treatment for your pet.
