Veterinarians who currently
provide monthly veterinary services for the Placencia community are:
Dr. Michael DeShield
helped form PHS and in PHS' early days, provided veterinary services
at many, many clinics in whatever space could be found (including
under people's homes). Dr. Mike, as he is affectionately known by
everyone in Placencia, holds a special place in the hearts of all of
us in the Placencia community. (And a special thanks to Miriam
DeShield, whose sense of humor and help in whatever way is needed
has kept PHS going.) Dr. DeShield and his staff continue to be ready to
provide information and pet care at his Belize City Clinic when
needed.
Dr.Floyd Bennett, has taken Placencia and its pets into his
very big heart, and provides many voluntary vet services. Dr.
Bennett has been in training in Mexico and has been assisting PHS at
Clinics and Outreach Clinics when he is on break from his schooling.

Dr. Miguel Figueroa, or "Figgy" to PHS clinic volunteers, is
PHS's third rotating veterinarian. Dr. Figueroa is always ready
to help a distressed pet, or to pack up his car for a visit to local
residents who don't live in Placencia Village and have no
transportation to bring their pets to the monthly clinics.
 Dr.
Eduardo Tesecum is PHS' newest visiting vet. Dr. Tesecum
operates his own veterinary clinic in San Ignacio, and also provides
veterinary services to the Belize Zoo.
