Dr. Ian Marks · Veterinarian

Dr. Ian Marks grew up in Plant City, Florida and received a bachelor’s degree from Barry University and a doctorate degree from St. George’s University. He always knew he wanted to become a healthcare provider. Initially, Dr. Marks wanted to pursue human medicine; however, having a Dad as a veterinarian, he chose to follow in his dad's footsteps and am very happy that he did.

Dr. Marks loves all aspects of veterinary medicine, but has a passion for emergency medicine, laser surgery, and geriatrics.

When not working, he enjoys fishing, boating, being outdoors, and traveling.

Dr. Kellie Fridlund · Veterinarian

Dr. Kellie Fridlund was born and raised in the Clearwater, FL area. She obtained her Bachelor's Degree in Zoology from the University of Florida and worked as a veterinary technician throughout college.

Then, Dr. Fridlund went off to the University of Glasgow in Scotland to study veterinary medicine. Being able to combine travel and education has been a dream for Dr. Fridlund; allowing her to complete externships in places such as Belize, Turkey, South America, and New Zealand.

Dr. Fridlund knew she wanted to be a veterinarian since childhood; she even started her own pet-sitting service in her neighborhood before her parents allowed her to get a dog.

Her special interests lay in internal medicine, cardiology, and ultrasonography.

When not caring for her patients, she can be found spending time with her two dogs: Avie (Viszla), and Lyla (Australian Shepherd mix), as well as her two cats, Raja and Shanti. She also loves exploring new cities, hiking, paddle boarding, yoga, SCUBA diving, and snowboarding.
