Our Approach
Hello, I’m Casey, founder of Doorstep Vet. During my time as a general practitioner in Austin, I began to notice a real problem in the way in which we approach end-of-life care. Wrapped up in the non-stop energy of wellness care, internal medicine, and surgery, I found that I and my colleagues were unable to slow down and be there for our patients and their families who were going through this final and very important life stage. It isn’t that we didn’t care, it’s that we couldn’t stop and breathe. How could we prioritize death over life when there were patients to treat, surgeries to perform? But, as I practiced and learned about medicine and about life, I realized a simple fact: every life ends in death.
And so, I stopped and took a breath . . . and Doorstep Vet was born. Here we pay time and attention to the smaller things, we slow down and enjoy what life we have–both our own and that of our patients. We don’t see twenty appointments in a day, we see four. We bring simplicity, peace, and comfort to our clients and to our patients. I’ve joined forces with some of the most kind and caring veterinarians to bring the peace we’ve all discovered to the pet families of Austin.
