ABOUT US
Dr. Hefter, DVM
Veterinarian
Dr. Hefter is originally from Suffern, New York, having attended The City University of New York Queens College for his undergraduate studies. After working at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Research Center in Manhattan, he headed to the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Kitts to receive his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine at the Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Hefter completed his clinical years at Cornell University before beginning his career as a licensed veterinarian in sunny South Florida.
Dr. Hefter’s primary interests are wound management, pain control, and orthopedic surgery, but he also genuinely enjoys annual exams and puppy visits. Dr. Hefter’s favorite part of the job, though, is meeting pet owners and their beloved companions every day.
Outside of work, Dr. Hefter is an avid hiker—his favorite memory to date was hiking to the top of the Mount Liamuiga volcano on the island of St. Kitts—and also enjoys biking.
