DVM
Calusa welcomes Dr. Robert Fryer to our ever-growing family. As you meet him, we're sure that you will be as enamored with him as we are. His friendly demeanor, his comforting and compassionate way, and his enduring patience makes him the ideal care provider for your beloved furry family members.
Born and raised in Ohio, Dr. Fryer received his Bachelor of Science degree in zoology and psychology from Ohio Wesleyan University before entering The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, where he earned his DVM degree in 1998.
Upon graduation, he practiced in Las Vegas and San Diego, before becoming owner and operator of his own practice in Ojai, California where he practiced both general and emergency medicine. With South Florida beckoning, he departed "SoCal" and brought his years of experience to Palm Beach County, and ultimately to our Calusa team.
When not ensconced in veterinary practice, Dr. Fryer spends his free time scuba diving and sailing, often in far-off romantic dive destinations, such as Belize, the sea of Cortez, and Fiji, and has developed a love for shark diving! We are not in a rush to lose him, so we do our best to encourage him toward less thrilling hobbies and are happy to find that he also finds contentment just hanging out at the beach, swimming, and bike riding, fine dining, and fine wines. He is an avid fan of college football and professional hockey, and should be able to get his fill of both locally.
You may run into him, his fiancé, Shawnee, and Sailor, his Welsh Corgi, hanging out at local sports bars. He’ll be the one cheering on the Buckeyes, to the chagrin of those gathered to root on the Canes, Gators, or Noles!
