Veterinarian
Born in Havana, Cuba, Dr. Tonarely discovered his passion for veterinary medicine at the age of ten. He pursued that dream, earning his undergraduate degree at Kansas State University before completing his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University in 1986. After relocating to Miami in 1987, he devoted himself to serving the area’s pets and their families. In October 1994, Dr. Tonarely solidified his commitment by purchasing Ponce de Leon Animal Clinic, where he has since been both owner and lead veterinarian. At home, he shares his life with his wife Danielle and their poodle Willoughby, pomeranian Siobahn, and five cats: Aylish, Charlie, George, Jasper, and Mouse. With nearly four decades of experience, Dr. Tonarely continues to provide thoughtful, expert veterinary care to generations of pets and families throughout Coral Gables.
