About Me

Professional Profile

Doctor of Veterinary Medicine | Senior Clinical Educator & Industry Advisor

Doctor of Veterinary Medicine with four decades of owner-operated clinical experience and a lifelong commitment to learning, teaching, and advancing standards of veterinary care. Graduated from veterinary school at age 25 and founded a solo owner-operated veterinary hospital by age 27, remaining consistently ahead of prevailing standards of care throughout a 40-year career.

Owned and managed three animal hospitals, with hands-on responsibility for clinical services, staffing, workflow design, equipment adoption, and profitability. Clinical focus included internal medicine, general and advanced surgery, and extensive experience in veterinary dentistry and oral & maxillofacial surgery, with particular emphasis on practical, repeatable procedures that improved patient outcomes and practice sustainability.

Completed advanced training in veterinary dentistry at the Animal Dental Training Center under Dr. Ira Luskin, DACVD, reinforcing a strong foundation in dental procedures, instrumentation, radiography, and case-based decision-making.

Recognized for the ability to translate complex clinical concepts into practical education for practicing veterinarians, support staff, and distributor teams. Known for teaching not only how to perform procedures, but why workflow, case selection, and equipment utilization determine long-term success.

Educated at Universidad Nacional Pedro Henríquez Ureña (UNPHU) in the Dominican Republic. Fluent in both English and Spanish, with the ability to support veterinary education initiatives across the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Particularly effective in bridging North American standards of care with regional practice realities.

Currently focused on industry-based clinical education, advisory, and training roles, supporting manufacturers, distributors, and veterinary organizations in dental, imaging, and surgical equipment adoption.

Clinical & Practice Background

With decades of hands-on experience as a practicing veterinary dentist and former hospital owner, I bring real-world clinical insight to every educational and industry partnership.

Dental Education

My Dental Educational Background

I completed advanced dental training at the Animal Dental Training Center under Dr. Ira Luskin, DACVD. My approach to dentistry emphasizes proper case selection, sound technique, and realistic implementation within the general practice environment.

Why Education

Dentistry is often underutilized not because veterinarians lack interest, but because they lack preparation, mentorship, and confidence.

My work focuses on closing that gap through education that respects both the medicine and the realities of practice ownership.
