Associate Veterinarian

WHO WE ARE: At Saunder’s, we operate under the understanding that our clients make us who we are. Our founder, Dr. Saunders, treated tens of thousands of pets in the Avon Park community since for 40 years, and our sole purpose is to continue his mission—to provide the highest quality, modern veterinary care possible while building and maintaining a client/doctor/pet relationship based on genuine care and transparency.

Some highlights of our practice include:

• Small animal general practice, ill pet visits, as well as wellness exams

• Soft tissue surgery

• Laser Therapy

• Dentals

• Digital Radiography

• In-house Idexx Laboratory with Antech for reference

WHAT LIFE IS LIKE AT SAUNDERS: Our team at Saunders is comprised of various backgrounds and skill sets in the veterinary field. As a result, we are always looking for ways to best serve our clients, the community, and each other.

For example, our team created a community spay and neuter program where pets get the very best care at a low cost to the owner. We truly believe in delivering the best veterinary services to our community and are looking for another veterinarian to help our team achieve that!
