Alex Shaeffer, DVM

Dr. Alex hails originally from Greenville, SC, where very quickly she fell in love with medicine (even crawling out of her bed at night to watch the television show ER with her mom). It was only natural to blend her love of medicine with her love of animals, and she quickly found the aspiration to become a veterinarian at the age of 5 (she even comes bearing proof with this masterpiece from 2001!)After attending undergraduate school at Winthrop University and vet school at University of Georgia, Dr. Alex returned to the Charlotte area where she resides with her husband, son, and dog in Shelby, NC. She worked in general practice for around 2 years, before ultimately realigning her passion for medicine and the human-animal bond towards end-of-life care in 2024. Her experiences with human hospice and grief have always shaped her care for her patients, and she is blessed to be able to help families through such difficult times. Dr. Alex is truly honored to meet and serve your family and four-legged family.

Outside of helping families in Charlotte and the surrounding areas, Dr. Alex has a sincere passion for literature and writing, education of the natural world, the NC Blue Ridge mountains, and DIY home projects.
