Ep. 41: Balancing Parenthood, Entrepreneurship and Veterinary Medicine: Meet Dr. Cassi Fleming, Part 1

Dr. Cassi Fleming is a triple Gator, earning her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Animal Science, as well as her DVM degree from the University of Florida. Despite originally planning to enter dairy practice after vet school, Dr. Fleming unexpectedly found her calling in small animal general practice. While she still loves all things cows, she greatly values the close relationships she has formed with her clients and their beloved pets. Dr. Fleming worked as an associate veterinarian for the first six years of her career before making the transition to business owner and taking on her role as "Dr. Cassi,"  Staff Veterinarian at NAVC's VetFolio. When not participating in continuing education through VetFolio, Dr. Fleming is the owner of Springs Veterinary Services, a small mobile general practice, and a part-time associate at Newberry Animal Hospital in Newberry Florida where she focuses primarily on dentistry in addition to general practice. Aside from dentistry, Dr. Fleming is passionate about arthritis management and fostering and protecting the human-animal bond.
