Dr. Omar Montes

I am a veterinarian with 19 years of experience practicing veterinary medicine! Born and raised in California, I left the country after high school to study Veterinarian Medicine in Mexico at the University of Colima. After college, I was accepted into a prestigious Small Animal medicine and surgery specialty school at the University of the State of Mexico. While attending the three-year specialty school, I was an assistant professor in clinical animal surgery.

In 2006, I relocated back to the United States in lovely Arizona. I had to complete five certification exams administered by the American Veterinary Medical Association to practice medicine in the USA. This process is one of the most rigorous examinations used to evaluate the skills and knowledge of foreign veterinarian graduates.

For the past 16 years, I have worked at a well-established clinic in Gilbert, performing tasks from general medicine to surgery/orthopedic and ultrasonography. For the past ten years, I have been a sole practitioner at a unique veterinarian clinic dedicated to integrative medicine, such as physical rehabilitation, non-pharmaceutical pain management, nutrition, weight loss, and regenerative medicine.

I feel truly blessed to have achieved my childhood dream of being a doctor, and I am grateful for the trust my clients express in me. I truly treasure my relationships with clients over the years, being their advisor and their pet's advocate. For the past 15 years, I have seen my clients with joy and excitement, bringing their new family members for a check-up and seeing these family members through their years. My main advice to my clients is to be well-informed to make well-informed decisions.

I would be honored to assist you with any concerns or questions regarding your pet's health. Through Vetster telemedicine, I may be of use for GI and UTI and respiratory problems, allergies, skin conditions, ear infections, antiparasitics, behavioral issues, pain, nutrition/diets, supplements, weight loss, and arthritis management, as well as any questions regarding current medical conditions and medications or second opinions.

It is an honor to be at your service.
