Dr. Pacheco attended St. George’s University in the island of Grenada. He completed his clinical training at the University of Florida and graduated in 2018. He met his now wife, Kellie, while in veterinary school. Together, they started their veterinary careers in South Carolina, and moved to the treasure coast to be closer to family. Their furry family includes 5 cats, 1 dog, and 4 guinea pigs. He loves all aspects of veterinary medicine, but has a special passion for dentistry and cardiology. In his spare time, he enjoys being out on the water, boating, shelling, shark tooth hunting, and being close to nature.
Dr. Pacheco could not imagine any career as fulfilling as veterinary medicine: “I love making a positive difference in the lives of pets and their owners. I am able to be an advocate for those precious creatures that do not have a voice, but ask to be heard. When a pet comes to Animal Care Extraordinaire, they instantly become OUR family members, too. It is priceless, and a pleasure, to work in a building where all of our goals are aligned: The wellbeing of every single animal we see. I look forward to meeting every furry member of this community and their pet parents. It is an honor and a privilege to be able to do what I love here at Animal Care Extraordinaire.”
Dr. Pacheco is bilingual in both English and Spanish.
