Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Robert T. Pane has been with South Kendall Animal Hospital since 1977. Originally from the upstate New York town of North Tonawanda, Dr. Pane says that his youth involved working at a local dairy farm, and then, as a kennel assistant at a local veterinary hospital, where eight years later, he was hired as an associate veterinarian. However, he says the earliest influence guiding him toward a veterinary career was the German shepherd he raised from a pup. The unconditional love and friendship of this first pet provided many wonderful days, but also helped him work through the loss of his older brother. For his undergraduate studies, Dr. Pane attended the State University of New York at Buffalo, where he majored in Biology and was inducted into the Freshman Honor Society. After being given early admission to veterinary school, Dr. Pane enrolled in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University in 1971 and received his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 1975. He also holds certification in Stem Cell Therapy and K-Laser Therapeutic Laser. Dr. Pane's areas of special professional interest include dentistry, surgery, exotic animal medicine, and dermatology. He is also a member of a number of professional organizations, which include the American Veterinary Medical Association, South Florida Veterinary Medical Association, American Animal Hospital Association, Association of Avian Veterinarians, Florida Veterinary Medical Association, American Association of Feline Practitioners, American Veterinary Dental Society, American Academy of Veterinary Dermatology, American Ferret Association, American Heartworm Society, American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association, Association of Exotic Mammal Veterinarians, Association of Reptilian and Amphibian Veterinarians, Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association, Association of Veterinary Family Practice, and the Association of Sugar Glider Veterinarians.
