Our Team

Grand Falls Veterinary Clinic was established by Dr. René Massé in the late 1980s. Later he was joined by his daughter, Dr. Monique Massé, when she graduated in 1991. After practicing 2 years together he retired and left the business to his daughter. She has since hired additional team members to provide pets and their owners the best quality of care and services. This small dedicated team truly cares about your pet’s health and wellbeing.
