Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Holland grew up with an interest in science and the natural world. He passed on a scholarship and a career in the forest service and instead pursued a career in veterinary medicine, for which he considers himself fortunate. He especially enjoys helping improve the lives of clients and their pets. Dr. Holland attended the University of Michigan and received his Bachelor's degree in Zoology in 1977. He continued his veterinary education at Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine and was awarded his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 1982. Dr. Holland owned his own mixed-animal practice for 23 years before completing a six-month internship in equine reproduction and moving to Florida in 2004. Surgery, including orthopedic and soft-tissue procedures, is just one of his many professional interests. Fishing and reading are Dr. Holland's favorite pastimes, though he can often be found working on small art projects, listening to music and playing sports. He and his wife, Adele, are the proud parents of three adult children, Abbie, Dylan and Greta. His animal companions include a Curbstone Setter named ZV and a cross-eyed cat named Sven, along with three horses back in Michigan (a broodmare and two potential quarter horse show-ers)
