Dr. Helen Foster graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2008. She opened Bickford Park Animal Hospital in 2012 because she lives in and loves this neighbourhood and community. She lives with her husband Jeff, her children: Emma, William, Charlie, and her forever angel Emmet. Her furry family members include Sammy the Goldendoodle, and George and Izzie her barn rescue cats.

Dr. Helen loves to chat and develop lasting relationships with her furry patients and their families. Her main areas of interest are preventive medicine, palliative care, and dermatology. But she enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine and loves that she gets to learn something new every day.

She spends her free time frolicking in the park with her kids and dog. Watching documentaries and foreign detective shows with a nice glass of wine.
