Founded in 1979 by Dr. David Paton, Paton & Martin Veterinary Services has seen many changes over the years. Dr. Martin joined the practice in 1999. Ten years later, the hospital was built which became the first facility to have a board certified surgeon in the Fraser Valley and to offer a variety of surgeries to the equine community. To this day, it remains the only surgical referral facility with certified surgeons in the lower mainland. Every year, many students and new veterinarians come to further their training and gain experience at our practice. In December 2013, we added the Hallmarq Standing MRI, which is the only one of its kind in the region and allowed advanced diagnostics for lameness’s without traveling to the United States or Alberta. Over the years, Paton & Martin has evolved but always maintained its core values of providing the most up to date options while focusing on great client service. We are excited about the future and where our pursuit of excellence in horse care will take us.
