With 13 years of veterinary experience, a passion for animal behavior and preventive medicine, and a soft spot for giant four-legged companions, Dr. Free-Brito believes that keeping pets happy and healthy is just as important as treating them when they’re sick.
Born and raised in Miami, Florida, her love for animals began at an early age, often surprising her parents by bringing home new furry friends that always seemed to find their way to her. That lifelong passion eventually led her to St. Matthew’s University School of Veterinary Medicine in Grand Cayman, where she earned her veterinary degree after completing her clinical year at the University of Georgia.
Following graduation, Dr. Free-Brito spent eight years practicing small animal medicine in Puerto Rico, providing care to clients in both English and Spanish. In 2021, her family relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, but after four years of being landlocked, they realized something was missing: the ocean! In 2025, they happily made Southern California home, trading warm tropical waters for slightly chillier Pacific waves.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Free-Brito loves spending time outdoors, soaking up the beautiful Southern California weather, enjoying beach days, and riding e-bikes with her husband and two young boys. Their Great Dane, who firmly believes she’s a lap dog, and two cats complete the family, although the cats generally prefer to supervise the chaos from a distance.
Dr. Free-Brito is thrilled to call Southern California home and looks forward to building lasting relationships with her patients and the wonderful people who love them.
