Dr. monica mentz

Dr. Mentz was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and is the eldest of five children. She studied medicine at Stellenbosch University and graduated with her medical degree in 1984. She left South Africa in 1987 on an adventure to see the world with her then-fiancée, and decided to immigrate to Canada soon after because of South Africa’s political instability. Monica and her husband, also a physician, were married in 1989. They have three children, two sons and a daughter, a Jack Russell terrier and a budgie. Her hobbies include running, tennis and raising children, though she knows that kids are more of a full-time job than a hobby!
