Welcome to Eau Gallie Veterinary Hospital
Your Veterinarian in Melbourne FL

I was born and raised here in Melbourne before I adventured to Gainesville, FL for school. I started my dream of being in veterinary medicine in 2019 at a family-owned practice there in The Swamp. I have 3 rambunctious huskies, a lab and a feisty cat that my world revolves around. I'm excited to be back in my hometown working at EGVH. I can't wait to meet all our wonderful clients and be a part of your 'fur babies' care!

Hey, I'm John! 

I was born in Michigan and moved to Melbourne Florida in 2012. I started my career with veterinary medicine in 2017, working here locally in Brevard as well as down south in the Palm Beach area. Along my journey caring for your fur babies, I've gained experience being in reception, kennel tech & tech assistant. I have a 2 year old chocolate lab named Stella who is my partner in crime. In my free time I love to travel and spend time outdoors whether it's spending the day at the beach, biking some trails or camping. A motto I live by is 'Always Stay humble and kind'. Can't wait to meet you and your pets! Catch me at the front desk or helping out in treatment!
