Dr. Mark Roberts joined Pet Paradise in 2019 as the Sr Director of Veterinary Development and as the Regional Director of Central Florida. He received his veterinary degree from the University of Florida in 1994 where he was awarded the American Animal Hospital Association Student of the Year as a Senior. He was also elected Class President and served as the primary liaison for Student/Faculty Relations. After graduating veterinary school he was awarded a highly coveted internship in small animal medicine and surgery at Angell Memorial Animal Hospital in Boston. In his 26 years as a Veterinarian, Dr. Roberts has owned, co-owned and managed six hospitals and boarding facilities in four states. He brings extensive veterinary knowledge and management experience to continue the high quality of care provided by Pet Paradise.  Born in Indiana but raised in Kansas, Dr Roberts developed his passion for animal care at an early age. He was constantly bringing home sick or injured strays and on many occasions hand raised an abandoned nursery of raccoons or a passel or possums. In his free time he enjoys all outdoor sports, spending time with his wife Lindy and hanging out with his deaf dachshund, old Golden and rambunctious Pitty.
