About the Team
Doctor
Kimberly Velázquez
Veterinarian serving Albuquerque,
New Mexico
Dr. Velazquez was born and raised in Ponce, Puerto Rico. Since a young age she has had an affinity for animals. Dr. Velazquez attended and graduated from Western University of Health Sciences in 2019 in Los Angeles, CA, where she obtained her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine degree. A one year small-animal rotating internship brought her to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Soon after completing her internship, she moved on to working as a relief general practitioner for different clinics in the city of ABQ. Her areas of interest are high volume spay-neuter clinics, soft tissue surgeries, preventative medicine, palliative senior pet care and, as of recent, ultrasound imaging. Outside of work, Dr. Velazquez likes to travel with her husband Saúl, spend time with her family/fur babies, cook delicious meals, visit museums and exhibits, and attend as many cultural events as possible.
