About Us
At North Florida Animal Hospital, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality veterinary care with an emphasis on exceptional client service and patient care. Our mission is to ensure that your beloved pets live the happiest, healthiest, and longest lives possible. We understand that pets are more than just animals; they are our dearest friends and beloved family members.
Our History
Our journey began in 1955 with Dr. Lee, who worked tirelessly as a solo practitioner, providing care to both large and small animals on the outskirts of Tallahassee. In 1988, Dr. George Simmons took over the practice, continuing the legacy of compassionate care. Over the years, we have grown and evolved, adding well-rounded partners to our team. Today, we are proud to have a diverse team of 10 veterinarians who are committed to providing personalized care to every client and patient.
Our Commitment
We strive to treat every client as family and every pet as if they were our own. Our commitment to community service extends beyond the clinic, as we collaborate with local organizations to provide affordable spay and neuter services. This initiative helps reduce unwanted pregnancies and keeps pets out of shelters. Our veterinarians donate their time and expertise to perform over 1,000 surgeries annually, demonstrating our dedication to the well-being of our community.
Services We Provide
We offer a wide range of services designed to keep your pet happy and healthy. Our comprehensive services include:
- General Wellness: Our PAW Plans help manage preventive care, mitigating unexpected costs throughout all life stages. Annual wellness exams evaluate your pet's overall health, detect problems before they become serious, and ensure your pets live happy and healthy lives.
- Dentistry: Regular professional cleaning is essential for maintaining your pet's teeth. We use modern and safe ultrasound to clean each tooth thoroughly.
- Parasite Control: Preventive measures against fleas, ticks, and heartworms are crucial to inhibit potential outbreaks.
- Vaccinations: Proper vaccination is vital in protecting your pet against harmful diseases.
- Microchipping: Microchip identification is the most reliable way to reunite lost pets with their owners.
- Diagnostic Services: We offer digital radiography, diagnostic ultrasounds, endoscopy, EKG, and laboratory services to identify problems early.
- Surgery Services: We perform spay and neuter surgeries, soft tissue surgery, and orthopedic surgery to address various medical needs.
- Special Health Services: Our services include cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, neurology, oncology, ophthalmology, and urology to address a wide range of health issues.
