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.

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.

in the office of a large animal clinic in Upstate New York. It was then that her true love of medicine and passion for working with animals took shape.
