About Us
At Island Paws Veterinary Hospital, we are dedicated to providing top-notch veterinary care to the pets of the Florida Keys. Our hospital is owned and operated by Dr. Stacey Kimball, who has been practicing veterinary medicine for over 10 years. With extensive experience in general and preventive medicine, shelter medicine, emergency medicine, and routine surgical and dental procedures, Dr. Kimball ensures that every pet receives the best possible care.
Our team is committed to creating a warm and welcoming environment for both pets and their owners. We understand the importance of building trust and providing personalized attention to each animal. Our staff, including Nick Kimball, who serves as the Office Manager, strive to meet each client with a warm smile and a knowledgeable understanding of each pet's needs.
We operate primarily by appointment to allow ample time for all patients and scheduled surgical procedures. However, emergency cases always receive top priority, ensuring that your pet receives immediate attention when needed. For your convenience, we offer 'drop-off' appointments, where you can bring your pet at a time that works best for you and leave them with us for a couple of hours.
At Island Paws Veterinary Hospital, we believe in the importance of preventive care. We require all vaccinations to be up to date for the safety of all animals in our care. Our goal is to make every visit as comfortable as possible for your pet, even if they may be a little uneasy about new people, new surroundings, and other pets. We recommend restraining your pet with a leash or in a pet carrier before entering the waiting room.
