About Us

Mission Statement

We create an exceptional customer experience through family friendly staff and top-tier quality medicine focused on the pet’s health and longevity.

 

Core Values

  • Inspirational — Everything, we do is bigger than us. We don’t show up to work every day JUST for ourselves – we show up to make our team more impactful, to exceed client expectations through product and service delivery, and to chase our potential.
  • Disciplined — At All Paws Animal Clinic, we do the things we say we’re going to do. Without exception. Discipline starts at the individual level, so we train every day to continue learning.
  • Accountable — We hold ourselves accountable to our goals because we know that true growth doesn’t happen by accident. Extreme accountability yields extraordinary results.
  • Transparent — We have big goals and we’re moving quickly. Our team has full transparency into the priorities of our clients, teams, and organization in order to prioritize the work we do to get us all closer to our goals.
  • Aligned — We only hire growth-oriented, caring individuals, because we know our business can’t grow and provide top-tier care if our people aren’t growing. We want to execute alignment at all levels so as the business thrives, our team members are achieving their own personal, professional, and financial goals. When our team wins, the business wins.
  • Results Oriented — Results matter. Our clients depend on us to earn that trust. Every client, every pet seen. We always deliver the best products and services: exceptional customer experience and top-tier quality medicine.

Dr. Strathman our owner and Medical Director attended the University of Florida through 10 years of rigorous studies culminating as a graduate from the UF College of Veterinary Medicine with her DVM licensure. In her teen years, Dr. Strathman was an active leader in the local 4-H and FFA youth organizations. The positive influence of being an avid equestrian guided her academic focus to equine medicine immediately after vet school. With a strong desire for practice ownership and being passionate about cultivating her love for companion animals, Dr. Strathman transitioned to small animal medicine and for several years practiced in both the corporate and private settings. Her love for companion animals brought her to us here at All Paws Animal Clinic in Royal Palm Beach FL and we are so grateful to have her as our new owner. 

With her business background, in 2020 Dr. Strathman founded a culture consulting firm for private practice animal hospitals. Having worked in both large and small animal hospitals, she’s seen the nuances of how a hospital’s culture can directly impact a team’s performance. Dr. Strathman has a strong commitment to helping veterinary hospital teams excel while providing the best possible care to their patients and she brings that to work every day to help us do the same. Her passion to connect with others in the field is further evidenced through transparent and encouraging messages on her podcast “Trust Me, I’m A Doctor”. Make sure to have a listen! 

Dr. Patricia Forsythe, our Associate Veterinarian received her V.M.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 1985. After ten years of practice at the Newark Animal Hospital in Delaware, she accepted a position as the Medical Director of the VCA (Veterinary Centers of America) Stirling Square Animal Hospital in Ft. Lauderdale. After 7 years in Broward County, Dr. Patty (as she likes to be referred to) moved to Palm Beach County to start her own practice. She served as the Treasurer of the Broward County Veterinary Medical association from 1997-2002 and is currently serving her fourth year as secretary of the Palm Beach Veterinary Society. She is a member of both organizations as well as the Florida Veterinary Medical Association, the American Veterinary Medical Association, and the American Animal Hospital Association.
