Dr. Veytsman spent the majority of his early life in Brooklyn, NY, before moving to the sunny island of Grenada, West Indies to complete his veterinary education at St. George's University. It was during this time he harbored his passion for small animal surgery being part of the surgery club and awarded the team and individual surgery awards.
He continued his education by finishing a clinical year at Auburn University before heading onto complete a rotating medicine and surgery internship in Nashville, TN. During the next few years, Dr. Veytsman honed his skills as a surgeon with internships in Cincinnati, Ohio; Columbia, SC; and Ottawa, Canada. Dr. Veytsman then went on to complete a three year small animal surgery residency at the University of Minnesota with a focus on orthopedics, neurosurgery, soft tissue surgery and surgical oncology. He presented at the Society of Veterinary Soft Tissue Surgeons Conference in 2020 as well as the Veterinary Society of Surgical Oncology Conference in 2021. Dr. Veytsman has attended human and veterinary surgery continuing education courses throughout his training to 'sharpen' his knowledge base. His professional interests include maxillofacial surgery, arthroscopy, minimally invasive surgery and surgical oncology. His fondest memories during residency included training students and interns and assisting his resident-mates with complicated cases.
Outside of work, Dr. Veytsman enjoys watching and attending any professional sporting events (go Yankees!), playing outdoor basketball, mixed martial arts, and anything to do with the ocean. He is happy to start his professional career in Palm Beach and is supported by his wife, Kristy (also a veterinarian) and their two dogs - Miles (a crazy Boston Terrier) and Otis (an even crazier Frenchton).
