Dr. Jeffrey Sands made his career choice at six-years-old when he decided then that one day he would become a veterinarian.
Now, almost 40 years into his practice, he wants to share that knowledge with other children who have his same passion.
A native Floridian, Sands was raised in Sunrise and attended Piper High School and the University of Florida. After completing veterinary school overseas, he returned to Broward County to practice and started the Future Veterinarians of Broward County in 1994, with nearly 200 young participants.
“It has always been my desire to teach and mentor kids to care for animals and make veterinary medicine their life’s mission,” said Dr. Sands, who moved to Parkland in 1999 and owns Parkland Animal Clinic in Parkland Commons.
