Dr. Nestor Morales
DVM
Dr. Nestor Morales was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico and went to University of Puerto Rico Cayey where he graduated with a bachelors in Biology. He then attended vet school at Ross University where he met his wife and he went to Auburn University for his clinical year and then moved to Miami after graduation in 2018. Dr. Morales is part of the AVMA, FVMA, and is working on becoming Fear Free certified.
Dr. Morales started working with Banfield when he first graduated and then worked for a private practice. He has since been doing relief work while they wait for the clinic to open. He has an interest in soft tissue surgery and dentistry and he really enjoys talking to pet parents and making sure everyone is on board with the treatment plans he recommends.
In his free time, you can find him outdoors. Dr. Morales loves anything and everything outdoors and spends most of his free time in his backyard planting new trees and improving his tree house. He also enjoys going to the beach and spending time with his wife, 3 dogs, and chickens. Dr. Morales enjoys taking his truck on road trips where the entire family (dogs included) comes along.
Although it wasn’t originally Dr. Morales' dream to own his own veterinary clinic, he was convinced by his wife (also a vet, Dr. Karen Fernandez) and will actually now be the one to open the clinic instead. He has been very supportive of his wife's dream and it has now also become his. He will be working at the clinic as his wife is pregnant and they will hopefully both be working together in the next year.
