DR. MURRAY FLOCK

Having spent his early years in Ontario, Dr. Murray Flock earned a B.Sc. from the University of Toronto and his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Guelph, prior to moving to the North Okanagan in 1980. In 1986, Murray established Creekside Animal Clinic Ltd., moving the hospital to its current location 6 years later. Attracted to the veterinary profession by its broad mandate, with a focus on comparative medicine, he has maintained a varied interest in a number of species. Time away from the clinic tends to be spent outdoors, much of it running with his Australian shepherd/border collie, Tess, in Kalamalka Provincial Park.
