Steve Weinberg, DVM, Medical Director/CEO:
Dr. Steve Weinberg, the founder and CEO of 911 VETS® PriVET, has worked in hundreds of veterinary clinics as a full-time, part-time, and relief veterinarian in California since 1985, and as a housecall veterinarian, has treated pets in thousands of homes in California since 1988. After building a housecall practice in San Francisco, Steve decided to head back home to Los Angeles and start a housecall service here. Through experience working with pet owners in the comfort of their own homes, he has learned the kindest and most gentle approach to pets in their own familiar environment.
In 1997, Steve started Mobile Pet Veterinary, helping pet owners in his Venice Beach neighborhood as the vet on rollerblades, as well as throughout Greater LA (with a car). These experiences led to the realization that there was a great void in veterinary medicine: organized, out-of-hospital care for pets. Human medicine has long established home nursing care, outpatient diagnostics, and a reliable network of hospital transport for human patients. Why not for pets? Several years of working and planning in the field and 911 VETS® was born.
In 2005, 911 VETS® became a registered trademark, defining the identity for the Network of Veterinarian and Technician mobile Providers we are today — experienced pet medical care providers who offer home pet medical nursing care and treatment, in-home diagnostics, and veterinary care in the comfort of your own home. We have cooperative arrangements with trusted veterinary clinics to provide hospital services such as dental, surgical, radiology, and hospitalization to ensure a continuity of care.
