Over 50 Years of Compassionate Veterinary Care

Since opening our doors in 1967, we’ve evolved into a vibrant, full-service veterinary hospital dedicated to the joy and health of your beloved pets!

icon Full-Service Expertise

Caring for Pets Like Family

Our Mission

Our veterinary surgeons complete years of focused residency training—beyond veterinary school—working exclusively on the complex procedures your pet now needs. That concentration of experience doesn’t just matter. In surgery, it shows.

Our Commitment

Specialized care requires specialized infrastructure. On-site imaging. Advanced monitoring. In-house diagnostics. These aren’t amenities—they’re the difference between reacting to information and acting on it, in real time, in the same room.

Dr. Randy Dominguez

Surgeon

Dr. Randy Dominguez earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas in Villa Clara, Cuba, in 1997. After completing the required licensing examinations, he became licensed to practice veterinary medicine in the United States in 2007. He subsequently practiced for four years at Palmetto Animal Clinic before founding Animal Care and Surgical Hospital on February 14, 2011.

Since 2008, orthopedic, spinal, soft-tissue, and minimally invasive surgery have been Dr. Dominguez’s passion and the primary focus of his professional career. He has completed more than 2,000 hours of advanced continuing education in orthopedic, soft-tissue, spinal, arthroscopic, laparoscopic, and endoscopic procedures. His ongoing pursuit of surgical excellence has also included numerous externships and individualized training experiences alongside highly respected surgeons from around the world.

Dr. Dominguez is among a relatively small number of veterinarians in South Florida who routinely perform minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery. He also performs advanced laparoscopic procedures and is among the limited number of veterinarians in Florida trained to perform total hip replacement. His advanced surgical capabilities allow him to offer selected patients sophisticated treatment options designed to minimize surgical trauma, restore mobility, and improve quality of life.

Throughout his career, Dr. Dominguez has performed thousands of surgical and endoscopic procedures, including many referral cases from veterinary colleagues. Through his mobile surgical practice, he provides orthopedic, soft-tissue, and spinal surgery to veterinary hospitals throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.

In 2024, Dr. Dominguez and his wife, Sulayne Dominguez, purchased Westchester Animal Hospital. Together, they proudly continue serving the community while expanding the hospital’s surgical capabilities and maintaining a strong commitment to compassionate patient care and surgical excellence.

Outside veterinary medicine, Dr. Dominguez enjoys horseback riding, working out, studying, and spending time with his wife, their three children, extended family, five dogs, and three cats.
