The friendly, professional staff at VCA Cabrera Animal Hospital is made up of dedicated individuals who have made it their mission to help your pet live long, healthy lives. Most of our team members have been with the hospital for 5+ years, and your pets have become part of our family. Everyone on our team is a pet owner, and we have several team members that are involved in pet groups outside the hospital such as rescue groups, agility training, obedience training and conformation.
By being part of the VCA family, we have access to veterinarians all over the country and in all specialties that your pet may need.
We want you to feel that you are part of our family, and our staff will try to make you feel this way from check-in to check-out. We also always advise our clients to give us a call with any questions they may think of after they leave.
We would love to meet you and your pet. Call us today and make an appointment to meet our loving staff.

Team Spotlight
I practice Veterinary Medicine because I love science and animals. As a kid, I practically had a Noah's Ark collection. I have a passion for solving medical problems like Dr. House.
Special interests: Dermatology, Behavior, Gastroenterology and Soft-Tissue Surgery
I was born and raised in Wayland, Iowa. After graduating Iowa State University Veterinary College in 1992, I went back to my home town and was a country veterinarian until moving to Miami in 2005. I started working at VCA Cabrera in the summer of 2007.
I have been part of the veterinary business for over 14 years. I started working in an emergency hospital and gradually moved into administrative positions. Transferring to VCA Cabrera has been an awesome change. Being part of this amazing team makes my job easy.
It's no surprise to see that my life goals led me to the veterinary field. I have always had a soft spot for animals and grew up having many pets. This trait was passed on to both of my daughters and grandson. At the present time, our family is complete with 4 dogs, an African Gray, and Wilbur, our pot belly pig.
