Dr. Caglianone grew up in rural eastern Pennsylvania around a wide variety of domestic and wild animals which sparked an interest in animal care from an early age. Additionally, he has kept a wide range of conventional and exotic pets during his life, which is a large part of why he wants to ensure all pets regardless of the type get the care they need and deserve. He graduated from Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2023. While in school he spent a great deal of time at the Auburn Raptor Center rehabilitating injured and orphaned raptors, as well as taking every exotic centered elective he could find. Not long after graduating he relocated to Colorado after visiting it with his wife frequently for many years. His professional interests are in exotic animal medicine including reptiles, amphibians, birds, small mammals, and fish, but he also greatly values canine and feline surgery and preventative medicine. Dr. James believes that the bond between human and an exotic pet can be just as strong and is just as important as a bond between a dog or cat, therefore they also deserve the highest standard of care.
In his personal time, he enjoys woodworking, hiking, nature photography, gardening, and pretty much anything that gets him outside. He relocated to Denver with his wife Rachel, his two dogs Argo and Shadow, his cat Smudge, a ball python named Linguine, and a whole mess of fish.
