About Dr. Renaldo
Dr. Renaldo earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Kansas State College of Veterinary Medicine in 2013, followed by a Master of Science degree and medical oncology residency at The Ohio State University. He earned his diplomate status in 2021 upon completion and publication of his residency research project on canine and human diffuse B cell lymphoma. His training also includes a rotating internship at the University of Georgia and an oncology internship at BluePearl Veterinary Partners in Florida.
What led Dr. Renaldo to become an oncologist for dogs? It began with an externship alongside his family pet’s general practitioner, an experience that revealed the profound gratitude clients have for their veterinarians. The dynamic, fast-advancing nature of cancer medicine deepened that calling and led Dr. Renaldo to pursue a residency in oncology. He holds a strong interest in translational medicine, specifically leveraging veterinary medical oncology and clinical trials to advance human oncology. This passion was made more personal since his mother’s diagnosis with Stage III pulmonary adenocarcinoma in 2021.
Dr. Renaldo has significant clinical interest in canine lymphoma, histiocytic sarcoma, and osteosarcoma. “One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is guiding pet owners through difficult decisions and witnessing the joy of seeing their companions survive or enjoy a meaningfully extended life after treatment,” says Dr. Renaldo. His ability to communicate with compassion and demonstrate empathy in challenging situations is a defining strength in his practice of medical oncology.
A Florida native, Dr. Renaldo loves the beach and living near the water. He is an avid Tampa Bay sports fan, cheering on the Rays and the Lightning, and enjoys spending time with his extended Italian-American family from the New York/New Jersey area. He is also an enthusiastic traveler, including internationally. He looks forward to eventually welcoming a Bernese Mountain Dog into his home.
