The Heart of Our Practice
Advanced medicine matters, but our people are what make Progressive Veterinary Care special.
Our team shares a genuine commitment to caring for pets and supporting the people who love them. From the first phone call through examinations, diagnostics, treatment and follow-up care, we work together to make every visit feel personal, thoughtful and clear.
We take pride in knowing our clients - not only their four-legged family members. That familiarity helps us notice changes, understand concerns and build the lasting relationships that are at the heart of more good days.
Care led by people who listen.
Michael 'Dr. T' Tokiwa is the owner and medical director of Progressive Veterinary Care. He graduated from the Atlantic Veterinary College at the University of Prince Edward Island and purchased the practice in 2005.
Dr. Tokiwa believes the family veterinarian should remain the hub of a pet's care - building trusted relationships, recognizing change early and collaborating with specialists when advanced expertise is needed.
Outside veterinary medicine, Dr. Tokiwa enjoys time with his dog, Chikubi, and his cat, Ryo. He is also a self-described coffee, chocolate and Porsche fanatic who enjoys music, drumming and exploring new projects.
