Veterinarians who currently provide monthly veterinary services for the Placencia community are:

Dr. Michael DeShield

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 at Placencia Humane Society Vet Clinic

 

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

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.
