Dear friends and clients of East Carolina Veterinary Service,

I am writing to you about exciting changes at the practice. I am retiring and moving onto a new phase of my life. First and foremost, I want to thank you for allowing me to care for your furry family. I am grateful for you allowing me to guide you through tough medical problems, and, for many, the passing of loved ones. It is bittersweet to know my doctor, client, and patient relationship will come to the end with you. Thank you for this privilege of being your doctor.

I started this practice in 1989 and I am passing it on to the Godfreys, a wonderful veterinary family, to continue the future growth of ECVS. It was of the utmost importance to me to find independent veterinarians, not a corporation to take the practice into the next phase of continued top notch veterinary care. Please read the following to learn more about the Godfreys.
