Family-Owned and Operated Veterinary Care

Dr. Jesus’ passion for animals began early in his childhood in Venezuela, where he spent countless hours watching Jacques Cousteau documentaries and studying anatomy books. This lifelong fascination with science and animal care led him to pursue veterinary medicine at the highly respected Universidad Francisco de Miranda, graduating with honors in 2001.

After earning his Florida veterinary license in 2008, Dr. Jesus built an extensive career as a general practice and urgent care veterinarian. His clinical strengths include surgery, internal medicine, and veterinary dentistry, and he has held leadership roles overseeing medical quality across multiple markets for Banfield Pet Hospital.

His expertise later expanded into veterinary innovation. During his time at Chewy, Dr. Jesus played a key role in developing the company’s telehealth platform and other veterinary initiatives. His contributions to the profession have also earned him a position on the admissions committee for the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine, where he helps shape the next generation of veterinarians.

At FurlifeVets, Dr. Jesus brings together decades of clinical experience, a deep commitment to patient care, and a genuine love for pets. He is dedicated to offering personalized, attentive, and compassionate veterinary care to every family who walks through the door.

Patricia Cordero’s passion for animal welfare began at a young age, where she eagerly sought to help injured wildlife and pet every dog in her neighborhood. Pursuing this passion, she began volunteering at a veterinary hospital in her hometown at the age of 18. Since then, she has worked in various roles in the veterinary field, including veterinary assistant, groomer assistant, veterinary technician, lead technician, and small animal and wildlife veterinarian.

In 2013, Patricia obtained her veterinary degree from Universidad Nacional Pedro Henriquez Urena, and throughout her career, she has made client education and customer satisfaction her top priorities. However, her passion extended beyond veterinary medicine, and she decided to pursue a career in real estate. She has been a licensed agent in Florida for five years, where she has helped countless clients find their dream homes.

As a co-founder of FurlifeVets, Patricia is committed to building a veterinary practice that embodies love, compassion, comfort, and continued education for clients and staff alike. Her unique background and expertise in both veterinary medicine and real estate make her a valuable asset to the FurlifeVets team.
