Born and raised in upstate New York, Dr. DiLorenzo completed his undergraduate training at Northeastern University in Boston where he obtained a B.S. in biology.

Following veterinary school, Dr. DiLorenzo completed an internship before joining the team at Animal Urgent Care in 2011. Since then, Dr. DiLorenzo has been an active board member with the San Diego Veterinary Association and became President for the 2016 year. He has also written several pet health columns and traveled to different parts of the globe.

As of January 1, 2018, Dr. DiLorenzo officially became owner of Animal Urgent Care, fulfilling a lifelong dream of his. He is excited to continue the tradition of providing high-quality emergency and critical care to the pets of North County San Diego and looks forward to this new chapter in his life.
