Dr. Mario Cabrera is a lifelong Miami Native and a second-generation veterinarian. He has always been around animals, accompanying his father in a veterinary hospital from an early age. His love for animals became a part of his development as a child and helped shape his character into the valuable physician he is today.

Upon graduating from La Universidad Nacional Pedro Henriquez Urena, in the Dominican Republic, he participated in an Intensive Post-Graduate Program at Animal Medical Center in New York City. Dr. Cabrera also holds certifications in Veterinary Acupuncture and Tui-Na from the Chi Institute. and K-Laser Therapy. Upon completion of all his schooling, he took over his father’s practice and grew it to a 5-doctor hospital, 24-hour facility. After years in private practice, Dr. Cabrera sold his practice to VCA Animal Hospital. Dr. Cabrera has devoted much of his time in learning new procedures in rigid endoscopy, orthopedics, and soft tissue surgery. We are fortunate enough to have Dr. Cabrera as our chief orthopedic and soft tissue surgeon.
On his time off, Dr. Cabrera can be found at home with his wife, Diane, and their 5 children (and 2 golden-doodles named Chloe and Zoey). His hobbies include traveling and boating on the beautiful Miami waterways.
