Originally from Brazil, Dr. Gargaro, or better known as Dr. Vini, has been surrounded by animals since childhood. His early experiences caring for pets and wildlife in Brazil sparked a lifelong desire to help animals and ultimately led him to pursue veterinary medicine. He later earned his veterinary degree in Maringá, Brazil, where he strengthened his clinical skills and deepened his commitment to animal health.
Dr. Vini’s approach to veterinary medicine is grounded in evidence based care, animal welfare, and clear, kind communication. He values building trusting relationships with pets and their people, believing that collaboration and understanding lead to the best outcomes.
At home, he enjoys spending time with his two dogs, Roger and Jailsa. When he’s not in the clinic, you’ll often find him hiking, skiing, or traveling, always eager to explore new places and stay active.
