24 Hour Emergency Vet Clinic and Urgent Pet Care in
Hoboken, New Jersey
Dr. Lex Roura
Medical Director
SUNY New Paltz; Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine
Dr. Roura started her veterinary career at VEG; while in clinics at University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine, she applied as the first VEG NERD (New ER Doctor) and helped pilot the program, leading the way for future NERDs. She fell in love with emergency medicine, and now teaches new doctors in surgery, endoscopy, and medicine. Lex has a big heart for Chihuahuas, especially when they’re spicy! She lives at home with her rescue Chihuahua (Caly), mixed breed dog (Kaya), human baby, and her husband.
