Practice Manager 1 Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

About Company:

WHO WE ARE

We are very proud of our veterinary teams; none of this would be possible without them.

Dr. Galipalli opened his first animal hospital in 2012 with a mere three employees and a goal of providing quality, compassionate care to every pet and pet owner. When Dr. Galipalli first came to America 16 years ago, he desperately needed to be seen by a doctor. Unfortunately, the doctor nearby had no available appointments and he was forced to go to the emergency room. It was in that moment that Dr. Galipalli knew that he wanted to start a practice that offers same-day appointments, walk-ins, and extended hours so that no pet owner would have to feel the same sense of worry and helplessness.

Forever Vets began in 2013 with one animal hospital in Baymeadows, and a dream to build something different. Since then, we’ve grown to include multiple independently owned animal hospitals, pet resorts, and an urgent care center serving communities throughout Florida.

We believe veterinary care should feel personal, connected, and centered around trust. That’s why we focus on building meaningful relationships between pets, their people, and our dedicated veterinary team. Our mission is simple: connect hearts, deliver exceptional care, and help pets live longer, healthier lives.
