Veterinarians
Dr. Savanna So
Practicing veterinary medicine is an honor and a privilege that is very dear to my heart. I have had the opportunity to serve patients and clients in practices in Tennessee and Ontario since May 2000. Originally from Rogersville, Tennessee, I grew up in the rural Appalachian mountains. We had many pets and farm animals, and my love for them, science, and problem-solving culminated in my desire to become a veterinarian. Attending the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, I completed a Bachelor's degree in Animal Science in 1996, and I received my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 2000. After two years of practice, I moved to Ontario. My husband, Dr. Freddie So, and I enjoy spending time with our four children, three cats, and 2 dogs. Our dogs, Judah and Mack, work hard greeting patients at Chiropractic First Natural Health Group, here in Oakville.
I consider myself very blessed to be able to help people and pets build life-long, healthy relationships. Everyday I get to work with amazing staff and families...people that are truly committed to the health and well being of their furry family members. Celebrating these relationships is my mission, and I look forward to embarking on your celebration journey with your pet(s)!
