Sergio Serrano – LV, DVM, DACVECC

Emergency & Critical Care
^{Guardian Veterinary Specialists}

Sergio Serrano, LV, DVM, DACVECC obtained his Veterinary Degree from the UAB University in Barcelona, Spain, way back in the Twentieth Century. After 10 years of working in emergency and critical care in Spain, Dr. Serrano moved to the UK in 2003 to complete a three-year residency at the Royal Veterinary College in London. He became a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care in 2006. After two more years in the UK, he traded cloudy London for sunny Southern California in 2008, just to move again a few years later, this time to the East Coast. He has been living there ever since, some days more happily than others. Dr. Serrano spends his working days with his clinical duties as a critical care specialist, working in the ER, the ICU, and wherever he is needed in the hospital. He has trained rotating interns, specialty interns and residents in emergency and critical care. He has also supervised rotations for residents in surgery, internal medicine, neurology, and anesthesiology. The author or co-author of several papers and book chapters, he has lectured at more than 100 events across Europe, North America, South America, and Asia. Considering himself privileged for his situation and achievements, Dr. Serrano sees sharing his knowledge as a way to give back and improve the care sick pets can receive everywhere. Trauma, pediatric critical care, sepsis and emergency surgery are his main areas of interest. When he is not at work, Dr. Serrano is an avid motorcyclist, a very enthusiastic yet terrible sailor and, for reasons he cannot fully understand, has gone back into climbing–despite his severe fear of heights.
