Dr. Almeida was born and raised in Brazil, where he earned his veterinary degree. After a few years practicing in different capacities, Dr. Almeida decided to pursue specialty training, which led him to the University of Minnesota.
There, he completed his residency in Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia, a Master of Science degree, and became a Diplomate of American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia. The University of Minnesota continued to be his home for several years, where he achieved the rank of Associate Professor of Veterinary Anesthesia.
Since leaving, he has completed training in veterinary medical acupuncture and has worked in specialty hospitals in Western North Carolina and in Tennessee. Outside of work, Dr. Almeida dedicates his time to his wife and dog, they enjoy hiking, traveling, or sometimes just lounging outside.
