Dr. Josh Kindred - ORLANDO, FL

Dr. Jonathan "Josh" Kindred, the medical Dr Josh Kindreddirector and owner of Kindred Spirits Animal Clinic, is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Stetson University in DeLand, Fl. In May 2000, Dr Kindred graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Florida, and began working in Atlanta, GA as an associate veterianrian at a busy, 8 doctor practice. After working several years and gaining some good experience he decided to look for a practice that allowed for a more personal and consistent doctor-patient relationship.

In the fall of 2004, he acquired the Clinic facilities, previously known as Trail Animal Clinic. Dr. Kindred chose the new name, Kindred Spirits Animal Clinic, because it reflects his long-standing belief regarding the relationship between humans and animals.

After several years of ownership he is happy with the decision to purchae the Clinic and to become an owner/veterinarian. "It was very hard work for the first few years; living in my office, working seven days a week; and it continues to be. Lookling back I'm not sure I realized what I was getting into and maybe that was for the best."

Dr Kindred has a little bit more free time these days. He is settling into the community and has recently become an Orlando homeowner.
