Board Certified Veterinary Anesthesiologist Consultant & Staff Education
Dr. Gianluca Bini graduated from the University of Perugia, Italy.

After completing his residency at North Carolina State University, he worked as an Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology and Pain Management at The Ohio State University.
