David, originally from Miami, had a passion for animals from an early age as it was fueled by his childhood fascination with nature. His dream was to move to Australia and work at the Irwin Zoo which sparked his journey into the veterinary field.
With over a decade of experience, David has worked in various areas of veterinary care, starting in general practice and eventually moving into specialty ER/Surgery.
Outside of the clinic, David enjoys spending time with his wife, Kaitlyn, and their two rescue dogs (Rigatoni – a pitty mix and Alfredo – a hound mix) as well as their Bengal cat named Toner. He enjoys cooking, binge-watching shows and listening to podcasts and audiobooks. David’s favorite moments are the lazy Sunday mornings spent on the couch with Toner.
David leads the team at UrgentVet Chapel Hill where they treat minor injuries and illnesses to cats and dogs.
