Alex Emerson, DVM
Practice Owner & Veterinarian
Alex Emerson is a happy-go-lucky nerd. After 15 years as a dedicated performance horse veterinarian, he fell asleep one day and somehow drove into a small animal clinic, where he felt like a kid in a candy store surrounded by neat toys and opportunities to learn something new every day.
The only thing he enjoys more than learning is teaching all the nerdy things he’s constantly discovering. Since that fateful day, Alex has been regularly reminded of how meaningful his new career has become. He enjoys listening to pet parents and working with them to create happier, healthier lives for their pets, and helping them share more years together.
Outside of veterinary medicine, Alex enjoys boating and fishing with his wife, Wendy. Having grown up in Nova Scotia, Canada, he still plays hockey every week, and his two sons are hockey players as well. He enjoys spending as much time as possible with family, whether on the water, at the rink, or cheering from the stands.
He was fortunate to find Dr. Javier Gonzalez, who founded Bluewater Animal Health Center and was ready to hand over the reins. Alex feels honored to carry on Dr. Gonzalez’s legacy of providing a high level of care for animals and the people who love them.
