Board-Certified Large Animal Internal Medicine Specialist

Lucas was born in Argentina where he attended Veterinary School in Buenos Aires. After graduating, in 2001, he came to the US for an internship and fellowship in equine reproduction and medicine at Haygard Equine Medical Institute in Kentucky. Lucas then specialized in Large Animal Internal Medicine and did a Masters in Veterinary Science at the Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center, an affiliate of Virginia Tech University. Back in Kentucky, Lucas developed and lead the internal medicine department at Woodford Equine Hospital. He was also in charge of implementing infection prevention and biosecurity protocols and training.
