Dr. Christina Romero DVM

Dr. Christina Romero was born and raised in Harlem, NY, where her animal-loving parents fostered her early affinity for cats and dogs. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Animal Science from Cornell University before pursuing veterinary studies at Ross University in St. Kitts, West Indies. As a college graduate, Dr. Romero gained invaluable experience working as a veterinary technician in small private practices, where she developed a greater appreciation for the veterinary field.

This opportunity provided her with the chance to serve a wide variety of neighborhoods and clients and enhanced her ability to connect with pets and their families with diverse needs.
