Family Veterinarian staff adhere to the AVMA position regarding the veterinary client-patient relationship (VCPR)

Online veterinary advice is outside of the limitations of the VCPR definition. The definition is applied on all of our online web-pages. All pages are managed by Beth Gormley.

"The simple definition of the VCPR is the relationship that exists when the veterinarian has come to know an animal well enough to optimally diagnose and treat any medical conditions the animal may develop. Although straightforward, this definition does not do our profession justice. For most of us, the VCPR extends well beyond any individual patient visit."

VCPR FAQ

Our practice is dedicated to improvement of animal welfare in all species, and One Health. All species will be covered in this page, including wildlife, as the health of one species affects the others. Because we are located in Ocala, many of our clients own horses, and for that reason horse health news will also be covered in this page.
