Dr. Simon Czamanski was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela and moved to the United States at a young age. He attended high school in Weston, Florida and then moved to Fort Collins, Colorado where he attended Colorado State University (CSU). Dr. Czamanski received a bachelor’s degree in Equine Science, a minor in business administration, and a doctorate in veterinary medicine.
Dr. Czamanski grew up surrounded by animals, but his passion for veterinary medicine really developed while volunteering at a local animal hospital in Weston, FL. He started in the kennel department cleaning cages and walking dogs, worked his way up to being a veterinary assistant, and ultimately decided that he wanted to pursue a veterinary degree. Dr. Czamanski has worked at multiple veterinary practices across South Florida, further allowing him to gain experience in general practice, surgery, and emergency veterinary medicine.
In his spare time, Dr. Czamanski likes to spend time with his family and friends, go to the beach, cook and travel. He’s a foodie at heart and has a special interest in wine and art. One of his favorite quotes is “Animals make us human” by Dr. Temple Grandin.
