Dr. Grandoni’s love of caffeine fueled her transition from school into 21 years of emergency medicine. She thrived in the fast-paced environment with her strong team-focused approach, delivering quality patient care and up-to-date medicine.

After “the kids” forced relocation closer to Castle Mountain to train and compete in Alpine racing, Dr. Grandoni embraced the opportunity to switch gears and dive into both primary care and a medical management role at a busy emergency practice. It was during this time that she met and worked alongside Dr. White, and quickly recognised the complimentary way in which they tackled difficult cases together. The partnership that would form Peak Veterinary Hospital took root.

With a passion for ongoing education, Dr. Grandoni continuously refreshes her skill set. More recently, she became both Fear Free Certified as well as certified as a Cat Friendly Veterinarian, mentoring all of the Peak staff to become advocates for stress free visits. She has a growing interest in rabbits that started 10 years ago with the adoption of her first Flemish Giant. Most rewarding are the relationships Dr. Grandoni makes, working with clients to come up with a medical or surgical care plan that best suits the needs of the patient.

Not surprisingly, Dr. Grandoni lives to ski and enjoys supporting her kids’ race club. She recognizes the importance of community and volunteers her time on the Pincher Creek Recreation Advisory Committee and some of the subcommittees that branch out, such as the  local Moon Shadow Run, as well as the Alberta Spay and Neuter Task Force as a surgeon. To pass the summer hours between snowfalls, Dr. Grandoni and her Irish Wolfhound love hiking with any combination of friends and family, and kayaking and windsurfing with her husband Wade and three kids.

Dr. Teri White has been in the veterinary industry for over a decade, initially as a veterinary technician before returning to school to gain her Doctorate at the Atlantic Veterinary College on Prince Edward Island. While the majority of her experience is in primary care, the last few years Dr. White thrived in emergency medicine where she met Dr. Grandoni. The two of them worked so well together that they coined the nickname “Team Tari” when overcoming challenges. Dr. White is pleased to continue their synergism by launching a privately owned pet hospital with Dr. Grandoni.

To continue providing exceptional care to her patients, Dr. White regularly attends professional conferences and online learning opportunities. Besides the physical wellness of her patients, she believes that the emotional well-being of animals is also essential, leading Dr. White to become an Elite Fear Free Certified professional and a Feline Friendly veterinarian. Dr. White finds deep gratification in volunteer opportunities aimed at helping animals and impoverished communities. She has completed two volunteer projects with World Vets, in Nicaragua and Laos and has been involved in numerous feline trap-neuter-release programs.

In her spare time you probably won’t be able to find Dr. White, as she is usually hiking with friends and her fluffy sidekick, Thea. Being from the east coast she is accustomed to the ocean and salty air but has become captivated with the allure of the mountains. When not outside, she is likely relaxing at home with a cup of locally roasted coffee, Thea and her spirited cat, Elouise.

Delainey Brady completed her Registered Veterinary Technician Degree at Northern College in Ontario in 2019 and made the move to Alberta. She dove right into emergency medicine, alongside both Drs. White and Grandoni, and immediately her team spirit, empathy for clients and pets and fierce work ethic were valued. We are thrilled that Delainey is bringing her strengths to Peak Veterinary Hospital.

Scout, her energetic poodle, is her side kick on her outdoor adventures and hikes. She loves to spend time with her friends and her cat Finch, named after the novel “To Kill A Mockingbird”.
