As a northern New Jersey native, Dan is excited to be practicing surgery back on the east coast. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 2009, followed by a one-year small animal rotating internship at the Animal Medical Center in New York City. He spent the next several years obtaining specialized training in all aspects of surgery through the completion of a general surgical internship (soft tissue and orthopedics), a sports medicine and rehabilitation internship, and ultimately a 3-year residency in small animal surgery at the University of Minnesota. He is a board certified specialist in small animal veterinary surgery.
