Carole Chapman received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from the University of Florida in 1986 after obtaining an undergraduate degree in Microbiology. For the next 10 years, she worked in the Palm Beach County area as a full-time veterinarian, and did relief work for many area doctors in Palm Beach, Martin, and Broward counties. In November 1996 she opened her private practice in Boynton Beach. She also maintains a house-call practice, which is a much needed service in this area.
"It is my belief that treatment does not stop with the diagnosis and a medical prescription," Dr. Chapman said. "I treat all of my patients as if they were my own pet. I feel that high quality care and TLC are very important aspects of practicing good medicine." Her goal is to inform loving pet owners of how to maintain a healthy pet that the whole family can enjoy.
Dr. Chapman is a mother of two boys ages 16 and 21.
She is a highly vocal advocate for pet spaying and neutering.
Every spring she sponsors an annual doggie wash fundraiser,
and donates money to non-profit organizations for abandoned, abused and neglected animals. Last year she raised 1,200.00
for STRAY NO MORE INC. — enough money to spay and
neuter 60 dogs and cats!
Doctor Chapman's advice, "Given the pet overpopulation problem in this country today, one of the most responsible things a pet owner can do is to have your pet spayed or neutered."

As a first time pet owner it was hard to find a vet that I would like and trust with my pet. It was easy to schedule an appointment the assistant was very helpful and courteous, the vet was very attentive and informed me of basically everything I had a question about. I didn’t even have to ask anything because she covered it. Read Less

Oreo has been going to Dr. C since he was a puppy. This is a loving and personal office where your furbaby means as much to them as he does for you. They never fail to give my Oreo the best care. If you want to take your furbaby to a Vet who takes the time to get to know him, rather than to a factory where you never know what vet you are going to see, then I recommend coming to see Dr. Chapman. She's the best. Read Less
