Dr. Marius Meintjes serves as Hospital Medical Leader at the Petco veterinary hospital in Frisco, treating everything from dogs and cats to small mammals, birds, and reptiles. A 1988 graduate of Onderstepoort in Pretoria with additional training at Louisiana State University, he brings advanced skills in dentistry and oral surgery, soft tissue surgery, emergency care, endocrinology, and neurology to complex cases, with a particular passion for surgery and intricate internal medicine work. He believes veterinary care is ultimately about honoring the bond between pets and their owners, and he approaches every case as though the animal were his own. Outside the clinic, Dr. Meintjes is a private pilot.
