To provide comprehensive high quality veterinary care with a strong emphasis on exceptional client service and patient care
Dr. Robert E. Lee originally established the practice that is now the North Florida Animal Hospital in 1951 and practiced medicine here until his death in 1989. Dr. George Simmons, who had come to work for Dr. Lee upon his graduation from veterinary school in 1988, purchased the practice from the Lee family at that time. Dr. Simmons maintained the name of the R.E. Lee Veterinary Hospital and was sole practitioner until joined by Dr. Randy Fullerton after his graduation from Auburn in 1990.
In 1992, R.E. Lee Veterinary Hospital underwent its first major renovation and expansion. At this time the name was changed to the current North Florida Animal Hospital (NFAH). North Florida Animal Hospital has undergone many changes since Dr. Simmons first took over the practice. Since that time, the size of the practice and the staff has tripled.
In 1996, Dr. Shane Burkhead, who had earlier worked here as a technician, joined Drs. Simmons and Fullerton. It quickly became apparent that NFAH was outgrowing the existing building and plans were made for a major expansion, one that would make NFAH one of the biggest and most modern private veterinary facilities in the Southeast. Ground was broken in the summer of 1999 adding 6,000 square feet to the existing facility, which was completely renovated. At that time the latest in diagnostic equipment was added. Grooming and boarding facilities were also expanded.
In 2000, Dr. Lynn Hagood joined NFAH as a partner and then Dr. Scott Welch joined in 2002. The referral practice for veterinary specialists was enhanced, as were many of the other ancillary services that we offer in an effort to meet any needs that our clients may have.
This is just a brief glimpse of North Florida Animal Hospital’s past. As long as we are able to maintain the high standards that people have come to expect from us, our future should be as successful as our past.
