DR. DAN
Dr Dan Baturensky grew up in Quinte West where he was an active participant in 4H, a group that introduces students to agriculture, farming, life, and values. This is when he developed his desire to help animals.
He pursued this as a professional education at the University of Guelph and graduated from the OVC in 1998, and specialized in feline and canine patients. In 2000, Durham region became his home and opened Baldwin Animal Hospital in 2004, and a second location, South Whitby Veterinary Services, in 2013.

She's especially passionate about empowering owners to make informed decisions about their pets' health. Keira is fear-free certified and committed to creating a positive experience for both pets and their people.
When she's not in the clinic, you can find her soaking up the sunshine with her husband, Ross, and their dog, Franklin, paddle boarding, crafting, reading a good book, or looking forward to her next travel adventure.
