Born and raised in Prague, Czech Republic, Dr. Martina Bukovska graduated from the University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Brno. In 1995, she obtained her Canadian veterinary certification after successfully completing the national board exams at the Ontario Veterinary College.
Dr. Bukovska has been a proud member of the Hartzel Animal Hospital team since 2003. Her special interests include veterinary dentistry and dermatology. She finds it especially rewarding to see pets transform after their dental pain is relieved, as they rediscover their playful personalities and zest for life. She is equally passionate about helping itchy, uncomfortable pets find relief so they and their families can enjoy happier, more comfortable lives together.
Outside the hospital, Dr. Bukovska enjoys hiking and kayaking in the beautiful Algonquin Highlands, which she considers her second home. She also loves travelling and spending time with her beloved dachshund, Freddy-a charming little troublemaker who firmly believes that rules are optional and listening is a matter of personal choice! Whether she is teaching him tricks or playing endless games of fetch, Freddy keeps her entertained and occasionally tests her patience.
After more than two decades at Hartzel Animal Hospital, Dr. Bukovska continues to feel privileged to be part of such an exceptional and compassionate team. She takes great pride in working alongside colleagues who share her dedication to providing outstanding care for their patients.
