Experience

Dr. Diego L. Casas Garcia is a Specialist in Endoscopy and Minimally Invasive Surgery in Small Animals, certified in Internal Medicine by the European School of Veterinary Postgraduate Studies. Due to his deep interest in new medical techniques and methods, he has maintained a continuous academic training and received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Extremadura in Spain. 

Thus, along with his work as a Veterinary Doctor in different cities of the country, he settled in his city, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, where he became Co-Director of the Canary Islands Minimally Invasive Veterinary Center, where he is Head of the Endoscopy and Minimally Invasive Surgery Service. From there, he has generated several scientific documents based on his own experience and the clinical cases studied, such as the professional guide: Minimally Invasive Techniques in Small Animals, aimed at students and professionals in the area, as it describes the main endoscopic, MIS, endoluminal and endovascular techniques through images and illustrations in a practical and simple way.
