Meet Our Doctors | Dr. Mary Alys & Team

what makes us different

Our Approach to Veterinary Care in Inlet Beach 30A, FL

As a client of Paws In Paradise Animal Hospital, you can expect our full attention to your pet’s needs. When you arrive for your appointment, you will be greeted warmly, and we’ll invite you into an examination room after checking in your pet. One of our veterinary technicians will start by asking about your pet’s medical history, current condition and the reason for your visit, gathering data for the doctor. One of our doctors will then examine your pet, ask you further questions, and may recommend diagnostic tests if needed. Once the tests have been run, which can usually be done in-house, the doctor will discuss a possible diagnosis and treatment plan if warranted.

This is a great time to ask questions. Our veterinary team wants to make sure you’re completely comfortable with the information we’re providing. Our veterinary technician will likely come back to wrap things up and will provide you with helpful pet care information and answer any wellness and care questions you may have. Our front desk staff will process your payment and schedule any needed follow-up appointments.

Please note: Our goal is to see all our clients and patients on time, and although we have contingencies for emergencies, there will be times where the unexpected will create delays. We will ensure these are minimized as much as possible. We are excited to meet you and your pets!
