Lester Monterrey, DVM
Dr. Monterrey graduated from Agrarian University of Havana in 2005. After graduating, he remained at the University as a professor for 3 years. His experience includes both small and large animals but his true passion is working with small animals. He enjoys surgery and dental procedures and creating long lasting relationships with pet parents. He shares two boys with his wife Dr. Gonzalez. You can find them at the baseball field on the weekend or maybe taekwondo during the week.
