Alexandria Murphy, DVM MPH

As proud Rhode Island native and Tuskegee University alumna, I have been practicing veterinary medicine in the DMV and Richmond areas for over a decade. Currently, I am a relief veterinarian at several hospitals filling in. On those occasions that I am not seen in a hospital, I am traveling overseas and on tribal lands for work (sterilization programs) and out hunting for historic/cultural experiences.

Known as the 'crazy cat lady' or the 'feral doctor', I also have pursued a Masters degree in Public Health (concentration in Infectious Diseases) as well as the Shelter Medicine certificate, both from the University of Florida.

One of my passions throughout the years has been having the ability to help pet families with the passing of their loved ones in their own homes. Unfamiliar environments bring not only stress to an animal, but also to the family who is making such a tough decision. My number one goal in veterinary medicine has always been to relieve the suffrage of animals in the most humane and peaceful way possible. I now have the chance to be able to do so and allow our pets to be able to be free from pain and confusion. For that, I extend these services in this capacity outside of my normal business hours.
