Dr. Merchan, DVM
Hello my name is Dr. Jan Jose Merchan Bello!
I was raised in a culturally enriched Hispanic household being the son of a Puerto Rican mother and a Colombian father, and born on the island of Puerto Rico. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and during my free time you will find me playing basketball, playing with my dog Loli, sometimes working out at the gym, or planning my next trip destination where I can experience new culinary delights.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Veterinary Technology from the University of Puerto Rico, Medical Science Campus. After months working as a veterinary technician in an emergency clinic, I was accepted into Ross School of Veterinary Medicine. In May 2021, I completed my doctorate degree with highest honors. My interest within the veterinary field including dentistry, internal medicine, diagnostics imaging, elective surgeries, and preventative care. In addition to small animals, I love and enjoy equine veterinary medicine.
I looking forward to meeting you all at Cumberland Animal Clinic!
