Dr. Mena, originally from Luxor, Egypt, hails from a long line of medical professionals, with three previous generations in the field. Despite early interests in Egyptology and architecture, a pivotal moment caring for a wounded falcon solidified his decision to become a veterinarian. Graduating from Assuit University in 2000, he later earned a master's in Zoonotic diseases and Parasitology, then moved to the US in 2006.

After completing his licensing with the AVMA, including volunteering at a spay and neuter clinic, he began his veterinary career in Michigan, specializing in internal medicine, soft tissue surgeries, and emergency care. In 2016, he transitioned to Canada, working in emergency medicine until 2023 when he acquired Pets Ahoy Animal Hospital. Dr. Mena, now an esteemed veterinarian in the greater Windsor area, finds joy in family time with his wife and son, alongside his passions for reading, gardening, and swimming.
