Our Doctors
Dr. Beau
DVM
Dr. Beau’s passion for veterinary medicine began at a young age, working alongside his father, Dr. Bill, at their family-owned veterinary hospital in Altamonte Springs, FL. He earned his Bachelor’s in Animal Sciences from Auburn University in 1994, followed by his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1998.
In 1999, Dr. Beau purchased Mount Dora Veterinary Hospital from his father, proudly continuing the family tradition of compassionate, high-quality care. In 2025, he expanded his commitment to the local pet community by acquiring Lake Veterinary Clinic, where he now serves as both owner and doctor. His leadership brings decades of experience and a heartfelt dedication to animals and their families.
Outside of work, Dr. Beau is a devoted husband to Casey and a proud father to six wonderful children. His home is full of life with Zeke, a Bernese Mountain Dog; Finn, a Golden Retriever; and four charming cats—Mon Cheri, Samuel, Morty, and Meow Meow. More than just a veterinarian, Dr. Beau is a trusted mentor and steady presence for his team, making every day at the clinic one filled with care, laughter, and purpose.
