Dr. Randy and his wife, Dr. Destiny, have a beautiful daughter and adorable twin boys.

She began practicing as a veterinarian along with her husband, Dr. Randy Prezzano, in a large, progressive companion animal hospital in Ocala, Florida. Dr. Destiny has a strong passion for veterinary medicine that began at age16 when she served as a kennel assistant. Her veterinary passion is enhancing the human-animal bond by improving her patient’s health and offering treatment options that work for both the pet and their owner.

Outside of work she & her husband Ryan like spending time outdoors camping, hiking and kayaking.
