It has been a pleasure serving the Southwest Florida pet owning community for the past 22 years at both Naples Safari Animal Hospital & Pet Resort and Westcoast Veterinary Hospital. After "retiring" in August 2023, I spent some time relaxing, pursuing continuing education and contemplating the next stage in my Veterinary life. I have been doing some virtual Veterinary consulting through the online telemedicine company, Vetster. I believe that telemedicine, like human medicine, will play an important part of the future of veterinary medicine. While not a replacement for in person appointments online veterinary consults are another tool for pet owners and veterinary hospitals. To find out more about telemedicine, click the veterinary link.
