Dr. Caruso is board-certified by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. The “Diplomate” status is achieved after a successful internship, a 3-year residency, certification of completion of the program by the national governing body (American College of Veterinary Surgeons), and the resident then must sit for and pass a rigorous 2-day examination. Only then does the veterinarian earn the title of “Diplomate” and be considered a specialist.
Dr. Caruso has been an invited lecturer to international, national, and local continuing education meetings for veterinarians and veterinary specialists, as well as client-oriented educational meetings. He has authored, co-authored, and published manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals, book chapters, and magazine articles.
Dr. Caruso is originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His enthusiasm for horses started at the age of 8 – caring for, riding, and training his ponies and showing hunters and jumpers on a national level. He now resides in Manchester, Tennessee, with his wife Dr. Jennifer Gesell, a small animal veterinarian.
