"My passion from a young age was to grow up to be a Veterinarian, like my father, and help animals of all kinds whenever I could."

Dr. Peter Baumwell was born and raised in New York. As a child he decided to follow in his father's footsteps and become a Veterinarian. He graduated from the University of Guadalajara in 1979. Following his graduation, he practiced animal medicine in New York until 1982 when he then moved to Florida. In 1988, Dr. Baumwell started his own Veterinarian practice, Central Park Animal Clinic, which grew to become Central Park Animal Hospital. He has been happily married for over 26 years and has two pampered dogs at home, "Stella" a Toy Poodle, and "Captain Sig" a Shih Tzu.
