Gregor grew up in the small town of Belsen, Germany. In high school he did a one year exchange to Nelson, BC. He stayed with a family on a farm that had countless animals and this solidified his passion to become a veterinarian. After high school he volunteered for one year at a local bird sanctuary. 

He then went on to vet school in Budapest, Hungary. 

This is where he met his wife and partner Dr. Lindsay Hein. 

After graduation they moved to his home area and worked in a mixed animal practice for 2 years. Next they ended up in Vermilion, Alberta at a wonderful mixed animal practice. However the mountains and being closer to Lindsay's family was calling them. When they heard Dr. Steiger was wanting to slow down and retire they jumped at the chance to work  at his clinic and live in the area. They moved here in February 2020 and it instantly became home. 

When not in the clinic, Gregor volunteers as a firefighter with the Black Diamond Fire Department. 

He can also be found spending time with their young son Henry, playing baseball, fishing, hiking in the mountains, camping and doing anything in the outdoors.

Lindsay grew up on a horse ranch northwest of Cochrane. In kindergarten she wanted to be a vet and never wavered from that dream. She truly loves all animals. 

She was an avid Pony Club member, testing to the highest levels, this led to eventing, dressage, tetrathlon and pentathlon. She competed nationally all across Canada and internationally on the Canadian team. Through her sport of pentathlon she ended up in Budapest, Hungary and this led to her going to Veterinary school in Budapest. 

This is where she met her husband and partner Dr. Gregor Hein. 

After graduation they moved to Gregor's home area of Stuttgart, Germany for 2 years. Next they ended up in Vermilion, Alberta at a wonderful mixed animal practice. 

However the mountains and being closer to family was calling them. 

When they heard Dr. Steiger was wanting to slow down and retire they jumped at the chance to work at his clinic and live in the area.  They moved here in February 2020 and it instantly became home. 

When Lindsay is not in the vet clinic she can be found going on adventures with their young son Henry and her many animals. She loves playing hockey, baseball, riding horses, skiing, swimming, watching the Calgary Flames, crafting, camping and traveling.
