Kyle Renaldo, DVM, DACVIM – Oncology

Veterinary Oncologist

Dr. Renaldo received his DVM from Kansas State College of Veterinary Medicine in 2013, and later his Master of Science degree and medical Oncology residency at The Ohio State University. He received his diplomat status in 2021 after completing publication of his residency research project on canine and human diffuse B cell lymphoma. He received additional training during his rotating internship at the University of Georgia and during his oncology internship at Blue Pearl in Florida.

Dr. Renaldo’s decision to pursue veterinary medicine in college was prompted by an externship he did with his family pet’s general practitioner. Seeing the clients’ gratefulness and experiencing the challenges of the fast-advancing cancer medicine field influenced his decision to then pursue a residency in oncology. He also has a strong interest in translational medicine using veterinary medical oncology and veterinary clinical trials to provide advancement in human medical oncology. This interest has been strengthened since his mother’s diagnosis with Stage III pulmonary adenocarcinoma in 2021.

One of the most rewarding aspects of working in veterinary medicine and oncology for Dr. Renaldo is helping people through difficult decisions on behalf of their pet, and experiencing the joy of watching them see their pet survive or at least have a significantly prolonged life after treatment. His ability to communicate with clients and demonstrate empathy in difficult situations is a key strength in medical oncology.

Dr. Renaldo has significant interest in canine lymphoma, histiocytic sarcoma, and osteosarcoma. He does not currently have pets but is looking to get a Bernese Mountain Dog in due time. A Florida native, he loves the beach and living near water, and is also an avid Tampa Bay sports fan (Tampa Bay Rays baseball and Tampa Bay Lightning hockey). Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his extended Italian-American family from the New York/New Jersey region. He also enjoys extensive travel, including international travel.
