About Vet

After graduating from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in 2011, Dr. Abdul explored several aspects of vet med including emergency medicine, shelter medicine, general practice and teaching. She became certified in the Human Animal Bond and gained additional training in geriatric and end of life care. Dr. Abdul started telemedicine during the Pandemic as a way to extend veterinary reach to individuals and their pets that may not have had another option. She has since continued to offer this service to help reduce stress in pets that do not travel well or are terrified at a clinic, and provide practical solutions and treatment options to those that do not live near a veterinary establishment, or are unable to get their pet seen at a vet clinic when there are no appointments available.

I got a new cockatiel and he has been under the weather. There are no vets locally that will look at a sick bird and the closest option is 100 miles away. Dr. Cherissa Abdul Hamid took the time to look at my bird and make suggestions and work with me to get him on the right track. She is literally a life saver! Thank you so much!
