Dr. Alexa Jurak
Dr. Alexa Jurak is a native of Montreal, Canada, and moved to Florida as a child. Growing up she was very involved with competitive equestrian sports and did very well in the Jumper circuit. Although she had an opportunity to compete at the Grand Prix levels, Dr. Jurak decided to follow her passion for animal sciences and graduated with a biology degree from Elon University.
She continued to earn her DVM at Saint Matthews in the Cayman Islands. During her clinical rotations she quickly realized that she loved working with companion animals. Dr. Jurak brought her undeniable work ethic and expertise in internal medicine, dermatology and surgery to the Animal Emergency Clinic in 2019, and has been here ever since.
In her free time Dr. Jurak enjoys riding her horses, ballroom dancing, playing with her plethora of dogs (we won’t mention how many French Bulldogs she has), raising her son, and traveling.
