Meet Our Dedicated Veterinary Team

Ronald is a Jamaican native, and despite his laidback attitude, his passion has always been medicine. He obtained an Associate’s degree in Veterinary Public Health and Animal Health in Guyana, a Bachelor’s of Science in Animal Health in Texas, and his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine at the famous Tuskegee University in Alabama. His passions are internal and rescue medicine. In his spare time, he reads fiction and non-fiction and listens to music (of which his favorite is reggae).

Dr. Kelli Weaver has been working as an internal medicine specialist in the area since 2005. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 2000, she completed an internship at Georgia Veterinary Specialists in Atlanta, GA, and then stayed a year to run their emergency department before heading to Massachusetts to complete an internal medicine residency at Tufts University. She headed down to the Tampa Bay area in 2005 and began working at Tampa Bay Veterinary Specialists, where she remained for 15 years. She then moved to CARE for 2 years before deciding to start her own mobile internal medicine service. In addition to providing specialty care, she serves on the board of directors for the Humane Society of Pinellas County and is launching a nonprofit to support animals in need.

On occasion, we may call in Dr. Garcia to perform surgeries for our patients. He provides our clients with an additional option for those who are unable to pursue specialized care. We are able to offer, with his assistance, advanced procedures such as TPLOs, patella luxation repairs, fracture repairs, and a wide variety of soft tissue surgeries at a reduced cost.

Dr. Carlos Garcia has a Bachelor of Science from the University of North Carolina at Asheville, where he studied Cellular and Molecular biology, and is a 2015 graduate of Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. He worked as a general practitioner in Miami and Tampa Bay for three years. He then completed a Small Animal Surgery specialty internship at Affiliated Veterinary Specialists.

In his free time, he enjoys the beach life, working with cars, cooking, weight lifting, and — most importantly — spending time with his wife and family.

Bio coming soon.

Hi! I’m Sarah, and you might know me from the front desk at Gulf Coast Veterinary Center in Tampa. Although I grew up in Ohio, I’ve always felt like a Florida native — I was born in New Port Richey and spent holidays in Spring Hill. I returned to Florida in 2005 and have lived in South Florida, Orlando, and since 2018, back in Spring Hill.

I’ve worked in the veterinary field since 2009, following my completion of a Veterinary Technician diploma. I’ve held many roles — kennel tech, surgical assistant, front desk — and joined Gulf Coast in February 2020. I love helping pets and their people in Spring Hill. Animals have always been part of my life. My parents were jockeys, so I grew up around racehorses. Now, I’m married with a wonderful daughter, and we share our home with two fun cats: Porthos the Pirate and Nandor the Relentless.

I look forward to seeing you and your furry friends at GCVC Spring Hill!

Hi there! I’m Leslie, a receptionist in the loving family of Gulf Coast Veterinary Center. My love for animals began at a young age. I moved to Florida from Ohio in 2006 and have been caring for pets every day since. Through the years, I have developed the knowledge to speak for the pets because they cannot speak for themselves. My goal is to see that every companion receives the best care they deserve. I am so fortunate to do what I’ve always wanted to do. Animals are my love and passion. They are our family.
