Robert lives his daily motto “lets save a life and make one better”. A Leonardo admirer, he dedicated his life to compassionate professional veterinary care, with the continued desire to deliver the best in patient care and critical care interventions.

This has been a lifetime endeavor for Robert as he has been in the veterinary profession since he was 16, starting at his home town’s veterinary hospital, first as a volunteer, kennel, technical assistant and then later as registered veterinary technician. But his innate desire to take care of animals came before that. From tutorage of his grandfather and father, he is a fourth generation Apiarist, a profession his father still devoutly pursues.

Robert grew up in central Florida, but as Robert Frost would say, he traveled the roads less traveled, all in his desire to be the best veterinarian possible. He pursued experiences throughout the world, with various degrees and certificates from the United States and the rest of the world.

His educational development started at Polk State College, with a concentration on veterinary technical, he received an Associate Arts, then from USF a BS in Biology with minors in Botany and Clinical Chemistry, as well as a BA in Fine Arts, and a MS in Hospital Management. Then from the University of Philippines College of Veterinary Medicine, his DVM. He continued to pursue clinical excellence through the College’s of Veterinary Medicine at University London, Washington State, University of Melbourne and then through a series of formal/informal rotational internships dealing with emergency medicine, ophthalmology, oncology and surgery.

All in his continued desire to pursue an understanding of the complexities of our beloved pets while still being one who possesses a natural passion for art.
