Matthew Klein, Staff Veterinarian

When I was in college my childhood pet died of congestive heart failure.  This is ultimately what inspired me to go into a career that combined my love of animals and my fascination for physiology.  I loved the idea of working with animals, but also being challenged with interesting medical cases.  I consider myself very privileged to do what I do for a living.

I attended the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine from which I graduated in 2004.  I worked in Dallas, Miami, and Sarasota before I was fortunate enough to find VCA Tri County Animal Hospital in Ft. Pierce. I live in beautiful Jensen Beach with my wife of 11 years, Mendy, my daughter Kaitlyn, my Yorkie Lexi and three cats, Syd, Nemo and Pumpkin. I enjoy reading and spending time with my family at the beach.
