Dr. Marius Oliver Vasilescu (Dr. V) is the newest addition to the well-established Parkland Animal Clinic.

During this time, he also worked in emergency and specialty centers and general practice facilities. For the last three years, Dr. V served as the Medical Director of the Regional Animal Protection Society in Richmond, BC, as well as the Medical Consultant for Pets & Pickers, a veterinary reality show. To this day he still supports the continuing education of these teams.

Dr. Vasilescu's main interests are soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries, dentistry, and further educating pet parents. A firm believer that "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," Dr. V provides detailed evaluations of each pet and educates clients about ways to decrease future health risks.

Dr. V recently moved to Florida in search of sun, adventure, and fun. While not working to improve the health of the Parkland pets, Dr. V enjoys traveling with his family, dancing Tango, studying martial arts, playing squash, and enjoying plenty of mango in the sunshine state!

Dr. Dominique Engel - DVM

Dr. Engel grew up in Northern Virginia and received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Miami in Florida. She attended veterinary school at Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, graduating in 2014. After graduation, she worked in New York as an equine practitioner at a thoroughbred racetrack for two years. As she developed an interest in animal welfare, she began to work part time for the USDA Animal Care in the Horse Protection Program, regulating the Tennessee walking horse industry. In 2016, she began to work full time for Animal Care, working with animal breeders, exhibitors, and research facilities. The work was very rewarding, however she missed practicing medicine and working hands-on with the patients. She then focused on being a small animal practitioner . Her professional interests include preventative care, client education, soft tissue surgery, and ophthalmology. Dr. Engel currently lives in Boca Raton with her husband and their dog, Lakota.
