Stuart George

DVM, Associate Veterinarian - Emergency

As a veterinarian, Dr. George considers himself the medical advocate for pets.  He goes by the principle of what would be best for the pet.  He enjoys addressing client’s primary concerns and educating them on their pet’s needs, especially in preventative medicine.

Chris Lapsley

DVM, Associate Veterinarian

Dr. Chris Lapsley attended Penn State University for his undergraduate training in Animal Bioscience and received his Master’s degree from City College of New York. He spent two years teaching high school science in New York City before attending veterinary school at the University of Pennsylvania.  After graduation he completed a year long rotating internship at Hollywood Animal Hospital in Hollywood, FL and stayed in Florida to practice medicine as a general practice and emergency veterinarian.  Dr. Lapsley’s drive to become a veterinarian came as a teenager after his house had a fire.  He had to board his dog for 6 months at a veterinary facility and while spending time visiting his dog he got to know the veterinary profession.  One of the most important things he considers about his job is client education and helping them understand their pet’s condition and treatment.  As a veterinarian he also especially enjoys performing surgery and wound management. In his free time he likes to fantasize about using the gym in his garage but doesn’t typically make it out there. He enjoys woodworking, does excellent dinosaur impressions for his three kids and is still waiting to be drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles.

Dr. Murati

DVM

Born and raised in beautiful Puerto Rico, Dr. Murati is a born animal lover. As a toddler, she always blabbered about how she wanted to be an animal doctor, “Veterinaria” (veterinarian in Spanish) actually was her first “big word”.

Although her parents were apathetic at the time, they allowed pursue her need to protect animals to rescue or rehabilitate any animal in need that she encountered (whether they were furred, feathered, or scaled). Her passion was such that her parents inadvertently became animal lovers as well.

Dr. Murati knew she was going to be a veterinarian, and there was a long career along with her. Dr. Murati accepted a research scholarship at Universidad Metropolitana in Puerto Rico, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Biology. As soon as she finished high school (literally the day after prom), she was attending her first undergraduate class. During this time, she became a full time student, conducted research, participated in a published research paper, and worked as a tutor, a waiter, and cashier.

Upon graduation, Dr. Murati saw her dream of becoming a veterinarian closer, enrolling at Ross University in Saint Kitts and completing her clinical rotations at Louisiana State University. She fell in love with Florida during an externship in Coral Gables. Following graduation, in 2015, Dr. Murati took a leap, left her family back home, and accepted her first job offer in Port St. Lucie, FL, where she continues to build professional relationships with all her clients and patients.

Dr. Murati feels extremely blessed to be able to do what she loves. Since the beginning of her career, she’s been passionate about improving the bond between owners, and their fur babies. She enjoys educating clients, primary care, preventative medicine, surgery, endocrine diseases, and dermatology. After a life a series of changing events in 2021, she discovered her passion for animal behavior, which has helped her further assist her patients and caretakers.

While she is not obsessing about veterinary medicine, Dr. Murati enjoys her time with her larger than life cat, Benicio Alejandro, Morza, the 150 lb Rottweiler that led her to dig deeper into animal behavior, and behavior modification, her step son Neo, the ball chasing Corgi, snake, Isadora, and her significant other. In her free time she enjoys travelling, crocheting, riding motorcycle, and dirt bikes.
