Dr. Robin Goldstein

Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Dr. Goldstein graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Guelph in 1974. He pursued the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program at Guelph and graduated as a veterinarian in 1979. With over 40 years of experience, Dr. Goldstein has been the owner and sole veterinarian at Markham Road Animal Hospital, where he has practiced since its inception.
Dr. Goldstein enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine—from preventative medicine to surgery. He has worked with associate veterinarians at his clinic and has been involved with many specialists in the field. He is always actively engaged in continuing education to provide the best treatments and, for a couple of years now, has incorporated high-tech laser surgery into his practice for improved pain control for the animals. Dr. Goldstein was involved in caring for exotic birds, reptiles, and other exotic animals with his associate for eight years.
He is a dedicated veterinarian who has spent his career caring for the health and welfare of canine and feline animals and developing a strong rapport with his clients. He is very friendly and personable. He takes pride in his relationship with his clients, some of whom have been coming to him for many years. Dr. Goldstein is attentive to his clients’ needs and their animals’ treatment, and he is very passionate about his career as a veterinarian. He has three pets of his own at the clinic, who enhance the atmosphere when the clients come in.
He is hard-working and a great community partner. He has participated in hiring co-op students from different schools in the community, many of whom have become part-time or full-time jobs at the clinic. For leisure, Dr. Goldstein enjoys golfing, walking his giant schnauzer, whistling with his budgies at home, feeding his fighter fish, travelling, and spending time with his wife and three children.

Kyle
Practice Manager
I am the Practice Manager at Markham Road Animal Hospital. I am responsible for ensuring our office runs smoothly day-in and day-out! I’ve been a part of this team for over 20 years, as I had the fortunate circumstance of growing up in the family business.
I graduated from the University of Guelph with a Bachelor of Science, majoring in biological sciences and minoring in nutrition(with focused courses in animal health). I am passionate about veterinary services, particularly business management and pet nutrition. I spent most of my days interacting with our pharmaceutical and nutrition specialists, as well as our business service vendors and staff. I also enjoy catching up with clients and getting to know their furry friends!
Outside the clinic, I enjoy teaching martial arts and running a small orthotics business, having also graduated as an orthopedic technician from George Brown College. I also have two toddlers who keep me on my toes (literally and figuratively) and periodically like to visit the clinic to greet our customers, when I am not taking them to visit the Toronto Zoo. I love all creatures small and large, as I grew up with Giant Schnauzers and currently have a snake named Mr. Snakey.
Emma
Veterinary Technician
Hi there. My name is Emma, and I’m a veterinary technician. I completed and graduated from the Veterinary Technician program at Seneca College in 2021. I’ve always loved to work and be around animals since I was little. I started at Markham Road Animal Hospital in 2016 as an assistant and fell in love with the field, leading to my decision to go back to school to become a tech. When I’m not at work, I love to spend time with my own three dogs Nala, Dash, and Gizmo, and go on adventures and cottage trips with them. I also enjoy hanging out with friends and family, singing, and watching Disney movies.
Ashley
Veterinary Technician
Hi there! My name is Ashley, and I’m a registered veterinary technician. I completed the veterinary technician program at Seneca College, graduated in the spring of 2019, and passed my registration exam in July. I started working at Markham Road Animal Hospital that same fall. My favourite aspect of the veterinary field is cytology—I love looking at cells under the microscope! Growing up as a kid, I have always loved animals and would constantly ask my parents for a puppy. Now I have my own dog at home; her name is Nyla, and she’s a Labrador Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix! When I’m not at work, I’m usually watching Netflix, playing video games, or spending time with loved ones.
