Dr. Tarricone started his career in veterinary medicine working as a technician at a general practice in New York City after graduating from Tufts University with a B.S. in Biopsychology. His desire to become a veterinary surgeon developed as he was exposed to the field through a traveling surgeon that visited the practice.

He attended the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine in Champaign, Illinois. This was followed by a one-year rotating internship in Medicine and Surgery at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY.

Following his internship, Dr. Tarricone was fortunate to match directly into a surgical residency at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital in Tinton Falls, NJ. This busy private practice residency allowed Dr. Tarricone to gain a large amount of clinical and surgical experience.

Dr. Tarricone enjoys all surgery but is most interested by common orthopedic diseases, fractures, brachycephalic airway disease, parathyroid disease.

Outside of work, Dr. Tarricone enjoys going to the beach, playing hockey, and traveling. He has made the move to Florida with his long-term girlfriend, Jessica. They share their home with three cats: Addy, Leonard and Penny.
