Our Doctors
Dr. Dave Ball is a 1984 graduate of the University of Florida. His childhood dream, which he holds dear even today, was to bring people and their pets closer together in mutually rewarding relationships. Dr. Ball believes in attaining that goal takes a strong committment to both personal client service and client education. His vision was to assemble a team of energetic, talented, and professional veterinary staff in private practice to address all of the client's veterinary needs and desires. A happy client is a caring client and a caring client has a loved pet.
Dr. Kim Schemmer graduated from the University of Florida in 1986 where she studied extensively under Dr. Richard Halliwell, one of the world's top veterinary dermatologists. She is deeply committed to patient care and client/doctor relationships. She directs all aspects of hospital, medical, and surgical treatment. Her goal is to ensure your pet not only receives the best veterinary care, but that your pet also receives the necessary loving care for a full recovery. A loved pet is a healthy pet.
Growing up in Naples as a native Floridian, Sterling knew that her passion for animals would lead her one day to become a veterinarian. She attended the University of Florida and in three years graduated with honors, receiving a bachelor's degree in Animal Science. She then attended the University of Florida's College of Veterinary Medicine and received her doctorate. Throughout her college years she worked as a veterinary technician and was also a member of P.A.W.S (Pets Are Wonderful Support), a group of students and veterinarians dedicated to providing veterinary health care for the pets of the elderly and terminally ill. Upon graduating veterinary school, Sterling was eager to return home to the Naples community to begin serving the community that encouraged her. She is now working at Gulfshore Animal Hospital fulfilling her professional dreams.
