Tom grew up in Winnipeg and graduated with his Bsc.Ag in 1991 from the University of Manitoba. He followed that with his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon in 1996. Tom spent four years in a companion animal practice in Winnipeg before moving to Calgary in 2000. He has been at Woodlands ever since and has been involved with humane society fundraisers, the Calgary Academy of Veterinary Medicine, and the Animal Welfare Committee for the Alberta Veterinary Medical Association. Tom enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine including senior pet care, dermatology, and surgery. He is enthusiastic about providing new pet owners with current recommendations to establish long term health and help to foster the human-animal bond.

He is married, has two rescued dogs and several horses. Tom spends free time in the mountains skiing, hiking, fly-fishing, and sailing. He is the father of two wonderful young boys

"I have always had a deep love and respect for animals. I remember as a young boy bringing home and “rescuing” everything from dogs and cats to lizards, birds, and insects much to my mother’s chagrin! After spending some time in general practice, I was fortunate to get the opportunity to come to Woodlands Veterinary Hospital & Animal Dental Centre. Woodland’s has provided me with the framework from which I can continue to learn and grow in my pursuit of veterinary excellence. My spare time is spent volunteering for different rescue groups evaluating behaviour in dogs, sitting on the board of directors of several dog related organizations, judging for the Agility Association of Canada and actively competing at the national level in several different dog sports. I look forward to working with you to enhance the relationship between you and your pet while always staying focused on maintaining your pet’s optimum health.

Dr. Monica Nagy was born and raised in Calgary and completed her Bachelor of Biological Sciences at the University of Calgary. During her undergraduate degree, a curiosity for animal medicine blossomed. After volunteering at a small animal clinic, she decided that veterinary medicine was for her and she returned to U of C to complete her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2015. Dr. Monica practiced in Calgary for a year before venturing out  to  work and travel in Australia. She spent a year travelling around Austalia enjoying the sun, sand, and practicing veterinary medicine. She returned to Canada in December of 2019 and joined Woodlands Animal Hospital.

During her free time, Monica enjoys hiking, reading and spending time with family and friends. A very important family member is Griff, a mini Aussie with tons of spunk!
