Dr. Ron Flater, DVM
After graduating in 1982 from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon, I practiced for 9 years in Central Alberta. My wife Sandy and I soon became tired of the long, cold winters and in 1991, so we decided to move to Lumby. The following year I opened "Flater Veterinary Services" and practiced out of the small white house beside the Snac Shack until April 2012. At that time, I was the only DVM. Then, I moved the practice to our wonderful new location in the old Bell Pole Building. Before our move, I decided to rebrand, and change the name of the practice to "White Valley Veterinary Services".
I am getting to the age where retirement is a consideration, but I am having too much fun to stop now. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my granddaughter Reyna, riding my horse Gypsy, motorcycling, fishing, cutting wood and spending time in my vegetable garden.
