Dr. Racelis
Dr. Robert Racelis was born and raised in Auburn. His parents worked as a doctor and nurse in The Department of Veterans Affairs, so he was immersed in healthcare from a young age.

Dr. Racelis then began his own general mixed veterinary practice in Georgia for 4 years and is proud to have become the owner of Best Friends Animal Hospital in 2007.
