DVM, Owner
Dr. Linda Abbott has always been crazy about animals. As a child she was usually raising a baby bird, playing with her pets, or volunteering at the local veterinarian's office, so going to veterinary school was a natural choice. She graduated from Kansas State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 1989 and moved immediately to Florida to escape the snow. She has been working with dogs and cats in various locations in Florida since that time. Most recently she started another veterinary practice on Northlake Blvd. She has since sold that practice and has moved back to Kansas briefly, only to return after only one horrible winter! Now she is happy to be back in Florida and excited to be opening the Animal Clinic at Wellington Reserve!
Dr. Abbott has been a foster parent, and is the proud adoptive mother of Summer, a human, and her eight furry children: Lily, Rocket, Lylla, Bubba, Stitch, Luna, Sandy, and Norma! She likes to go to Orlando and ride roller coasters (when it's not too hot or crowded). She also loves jet skis, antique cars and scary movies.
Dr. Abbott is passionate about animal rescue. She is always picking up strays, fixing them up and finding them homes. She has worked with many local animal rescues such as Big Dog Ranch, Adopt a Cat, Luv a Pet, Animal Care and Control, Second Chance, Pet Haven and Destiny for Dogs and will continue to help them as much as possible in her new office.
