A NEW MODEL OF VETERINARY CARE

Dr. Gendreau was destined to become a Veterinarian at a very young age. Born to a father who was a veterinarian treating both small and large animals, he started observing his father at a young age since the family resided above his father’s small animal hospital. The family also attended numerous veterinary conventions throughout Canada since the senior Dr. Gendreau was co-founder of the Canadian Veterinary Association in 1948 and its second president.

Following graduation from Veterinary College, University of Montreal, Claude, realizing he had big shoes to fill, pursued a residency in small animal surgery and a Master’s Degree in Surgery at the University of Guelph, Ontario. In 1974 he achieved diplomate status in the American College of Veterinary Surgeons.

After a stint as Head of the Small Animal Surgery of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, he moved to Chicago in the fall of 1976. He founded the first specialty center of its kind in the country, Veterinary Specialty Clinic, which is now operating under the name of Veterinary Specialty Center. He is now the founder of Veterinary Orthopedic Center.
