A message from Dr. James.
To the clients and staff of VCA Hollywood Animal Hospital -
It is with a heavy heart that I announce my retirement from
VCA Hollywood Animal Hospital; the place I have called home since I was a kid.
When I walked across the stage at Auburn University in 1972
and received my diploma, I can honestly say I did not realize the profound
impact my career and the 45 years I spent at HAH would have on my life. Along with my brothers Dr. Larry and Dr. Jon,
and our partners Dr. Sessa and Dr. Herrington, it was an honor and a privilege
to serve as an owner of Hollywood Animal Hospital. What’s more, having the opportunity to practice
quality family medicine with my father, Dr. Clarence Dee (who cofounded
Hollywood Animal Hospital in 1947) and mother Lucille Dee, was an experience of
a lifetime. I would not trade those
years for anything in the world and they have shaped me into the man, and
veterinarian, I am today.
Additionally, I have worked alongside some exceptional folks
– people I truly consider family. Together we have laughed, cried, supported
each other, as well as our clients, as we navigated through some rough waters, hunkered
down through many a hurricane, watched
generations (2 and 4 legged!) mature and grow.
The list is endless and I have nothing but fond memories of my years in
practice.
 Now, this goes without saying, but in my eyes the clients of
Hollywood Animal Hospital are the cream of the crop! I have met so many magnificent,
kind hearted people who have entrusted me to do the very best by their
pets. I will miss you all more than I
can ever express to you.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you. I will keep each and every one of you close
to my heart.
Warmest regards,
Dr. James Dee
