Our Veterinary Management Team

When a pet emergency happens, it takes more than medical training to make a difference. It takes quick thinking and people who genuinely care about every patient that walks—or gets carried—through our doors. That’s what defines the team at the Veterinary Emergency Clinic of Central Florida.

If your pet is facing a medical emergency, don’t hesitate. Our teams are ready to help the moment you arrive.

Always Here, Always Ready

From Casselberry to The Villages, our team works across every VEC hospital with the same mission of providing consistent, high-level emergency veterinary care whenever our clients need it. And because each location is fully staffed by licensed veterinarians, nurses, and support teams 24/7, there’s always someone ready to help.

Whether it’s after hours or in the middle of a busy weekend, you’ll find the same dedication and expertise at every VEC emergency veterinary clinic. Our people, our care, and our commitment stay the same; only the address changes!
