DR. ALEXIS BIO AND CREDENTIALS:
Dr. Alexis was born and raised in Massapequa, Long Island, NY. She attended Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. where she obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and Master’s degree in Teaching with a dual certification in both Biology and Agriculture.
She then attended Colorado State University in pursuit of her lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian. While attending CSU, she served as a manager and volunteer for their Pet Hospice Program from 2013-2016 & has known since her early years of veterinary school that her true calling was to work in end-of-life veterinary care. She has always found herself the most fulfilled by being able to help owners during the most delicate time of their beloved pet’s life. She has a true passion for comforting owners through this difficult process as much as she is honored to peacefully assist her clients' beloved pets.
After graduating, Dr. Alexis became one of currently ~150 veterinarians in the World who are certified in animal hospice and palliative care by the International Association of Animal Hospice and Palliative Care (IAAHPC) & she is also certified by the Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy (CAETA). She worked in Colorado for two years following graduation and she has compassionately assisted over 2,000 beloved pets with gentle and peaceful home euthanasia. While in Colorado, she worked for the very first Home Euthanasia company, which pioneered this very delicate line of work.
She is currently the only Veterinarian on Long Island with these unique credentials and a special interest/certification (CHPV) in Animal Hospice and Palliative Care/Home Euthanasia. (As recognized on https://www.pethospiceproviders.com)
Dr. Alexis firmly believes that the key to an animal's quality of life is supportive client communication. She prides herself on being available for her clients and all communication is directly with her. She does not have a receptionist and does not utilize call center operators as she wants to be able to address your important questions and biggest concerns from the very start. This helps to make this delicate process as comforting as possible for everyone involved.
Dr. Alexis is so honored to be back home in New York. She is hoping to make Long Island as pet friendly as she found Colorado to be, starting with bringing Certified Animal Hospice and Palliative Specialty Care home to Long Island. Pets are certainly family and providing compassionate End-of-Life Veterinary Care right in the comfort of home is one of the best gifts we can give to our cherished companions after their loyal journey by our sides.
In her spare time, Dr. Alexis makes the most of her New York lifestyle by putting some time aside for cooking and shopping. She currently lives in Farmingdale with her husband, Paul, and their mini zoo which includes their dogs (Letty, Keiko, Nora & FroYo), two cats (Simba and Chubbs), hamsters (Eclair and Mozzerella "Ella"), dumerils boa (Shenron), and their playful chinchilla (Olive).
Dr. Alexis' goal is to build awareness of this much needed service and the importance of CHPV credentials. She believes in quality veterinary care over quantity of appointments. She truly cares about you and your pet. She is very thankful and honored to now be able to serve New York pets & their loving families across Nassau County, Suffolk County & Eastern Queens.
