Carlos Aguiar, DVM

I'm passionate about giving back to the community. At HealMobile.biz, I run a mobile veterinary unit in St. Johns, Florida, where I focus on preventive care to improve the lives of animals. My goal is to make veterinary care accessible to all, which is why I bring my services directly to the community. Beyond medical services, I also take the time to educate pet owners about responsible pet ownership. In addition to my professional obligations, I find great joy in taking part in volunteer events and outreach programs that benefit our community. I believe it's important to give back and make a positive impact. One organization that has a special place in my heart is The Street Dog Coalition. Their tireless efforts to provide resources and mobilize vets to help those in need have been inspiring. Being able to give back has been a rewarding experience, and it warms my heart to see the appreciation of both the givers and the receivers. Through my passion for animal welfare and my dedication to community service, I strive to create a healthier and happier future for all. I am grateful for the trust and relationships I have built with both my patients and their owners, and I am committed to continuing to make a difference in Northeast Florida area.
