A year later, he opened Centre Street Animal Hospital and has never looked back. Dr. Slome is fortunate enough to have a family of animal lovers with his wife, Michelle, and their 2 boys, Ethan and Adam, fussing over their pets – Skye, a Balinese cat, and Toffee, a mixed breed rescue dog.

Dr. Laura Teeger, DVM | Veterinarian
Danya | Registered Veterinary Technician & Office Manager
Currently on extended maternity leave and happy to report that she is doing well (but we miss her!) We first met Danya when she came to Centre Street Animal Hospital at 11 years old, as a client with her very first kitten! Danya and her family are proud owners of two senior cats (14 and 18 years old), and this love of animals is what took Danya to the Veterinary Technician program at Seneca College. Over the years her relationship with the hospital has grown, and we were thrilled to see her come full circle in the summer of 2011 as she graduated from school and joined us as a part of the CSAH team! She is jokingly referred to as the ‘office computer’ due to her knowledge of the day-to-day happenings of the hospital. On top of cuddling with her wonderful cats, Danya also enjoys tap dancing, baking and was recently married!
Roy | Registered Veterinary Technician
Roy started working for Centre Street Animal Hospital in the summer of 2005 after graduating with honors from the Veterinary Technician program at Seneca College. He has always had a passion for working with animals of all sizes, from cows and horses to snakes and lovebirds. He has a special interest in the veterinary emergency field where the fast pace keeps him on his toes for new advancements in animal medicine. Roy counts Corn Snakes and a variety of Rodents amongst his menagerie (the rodents aren’t too happy about this though!).

Amanda | Veterinary Assistant
After graduating from Sheridan College’s Animal Care program, Amanda joined the team at Centre Street Animal Hospital in the Spring of 2018. In 2007 Amanda started her own business ‘Doggy Day Care’, geared at walking, feeding, boarding (and of course giving lots of love to) dogs. Clients lauded her passion and responsibility, and as such her business grew rapidly. This is when Amanda resolved that her future would always involve working with animals. Amanda enjoys the hands-on aspect of working with our cherished pets, and takes great pride in the ability to help with their care and keep them comfortable and happy!
Samantha | Client Care Specialist
Samantha has been working in the veterinary industry since 2001. Prior to joining Centre Street Animal Hospital, she helped manage a veterinary clinic in Trinidad and Tobago as a receptionist and veterinary assistant. Although her recent move to Canada forced her to leave her two dogs Josey and Belle with relatives, she has “adopted” every pet patient that visits us at the clinic as her own.
Jasmine | Client Care Specialist
Jasmine is a single mom of 2 boys, and 2 feline fur babies. She has always had a love for animals, bringing strays home and taming feral cats when she was a kid. Jasmine knew she wanted to enter the field of animal medicine after volunteering with the Ottawa Humane Society for 2 and a half years. She moved to Toronto in 2017 and began working in a sales position, but knew her true love was working with animals. We are thrilled to have Jasmine join our front desk team and help her fulfill her dream of being around animals and their owners, and learning about the world of animal health care.
Stephanie | Client Care Specialist
Stephanie joined us as a client care rep at the end of 2020. She grew up surrounded by dogs, but now loves coming home to her two cats, Cheese & Chia. She enjoys hiking on the weekend and volunteering with rescue groups to help transport animals to their foster homes.
