Veterinarian, CEO
With over 30 years of experience, Pawel, a distinguished Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, embarked on his journey in Lublin, Poland, where his passion for biology and English bloomed. His academic excellence and linguistic prowess led him to explore Western Europe, from an English work camp to the Swiss Alps and a Danish tulip farm. Influenced by political unrest, he left Poland in 1982, eventually settling in British Columbia, Canada. Pawel’s true calling emerged in animal care, culminating in the establishment of “Sunwood Veterinary Hospital” in Coquitlam. His holistic approach, blending acupuncture, herbs, and more, reflects his belief in comprehensive, hope-filled treatment. Pawel’s mission is a visit that is respectful, pain-free, and uniquely tailored.
