Our Story
Caring for the pets and families of Fort Lauderdale and South Florida, day and night
Family Pet Medical Center began with a simple promise: to give pets the same level of care, comfort, and compassion that we would want for our own. As a hospital in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, we understand how much pets mean to the families in our community. South Florida is full of people who treat their animals like family, and we are honored to care for them.
From the beginning, our vision has been to create a place where pet parents feel welcomed, supported, and confident in the care their pets receive. That is why our hospital offers a complete range of services, including wellness, dentistry, diagnostics, surgery, urgent care, and 24/7 emergency support. Everything is available in one trusted location, with a team you can rely on every step of the way.
Our medical staff includes exceptional veterinarians such as Dr. Ferrera and Dr. Alexeev, who bring extensive knowledge, experience, and genuine compassion to every appointment. Our hospital is led by Stephanie Burke, our dedicated Hospital Director, whose commitment to excellence and patient care guides the entire team.
We are proud of the environment they help create — one that is supportive, communicative, and deeply focused on the wellbeing of both pets and the people who love them. Whether your pet is here for a routine checkup or facing a stressful medical moment, you can count on our team to treat them with patience, kindness, and exceptional medical care.
Today, our story continues with the families who walk through our doors every day. We are grateful to care for pets throughout Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors, Oakland Park, Pompano Beach, and the surrounding South Florida neighborhoods. Thank you for trusting us with the health and happiness of your pets, today and always.
