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.
