Meet the Veterinarians & Team of Express Vet NM! We’re pleased to provide exceptional vet care for your pets!
About our hospital
Express Vet NM specializes in providing wellness services to pets in the local area and beyond.
Based out of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Express Vet NM specializes in providing wellness services to pets in the local area and beyond. During COVID, Practice owner and head DVM, Laura P., found a huge need for pet owners to schedule wellness services much sooner than the local clinics could handle. That being said, Laura dreamed up the creation of Express Vet NM and poured her passion into making it a reality.
At Express Vet NM, the veterinary team’s number one goal is to make pet wellness services accessible to everyone, and they even provide services for local rescues as well.

Laura Pfeifer
Hi, I’m Laura! Born and raised in Oklahoma, I was absolutely enthralled with horses as a child, which led to me becoming an avid horsewoman. As I flourished in this environment, I figured my passion would be in vet-med. Previously, I graduated from Oklahoma State University in 2012 at the Center for Veterinary Health Sciences. I then began my career at Spay Arkansas, which is a non-profit spay/neuter clinic in Springdale, AR. Since then, I have married a New Mexico native and moved to the Land of Enchantment in 2014.
From 2015 to 2020, I have traveled monthly to perform hundreds of sterilization surgeries in rural Arkansas through the Humane Society of Saline County. I have performed tens of thousands of spay/neuter surgeries for multiple non-profits and shelters across the state of New Mexico, including, but not limited to: McKinley County Animal Shelter, Santa Fe Animal Shelter, Animal Services Center of Mesilla Valley, Bro & Tracy Animal Welfare, Valencia County Animal Shelter, Watermelon Mountain Ranch, HART, Pecos People for Animals Welfare Society (PAWS), Stray Hearts Animal Shelter, and Bernalillo County Animal Shelter. I’m driven to help animal shelters rescue and rehome as many homeless animals as possible and have mentored several veterinarians to improve their surgical skills and efficiency during sterilization procedures.
I have also worked on multiple mobile spay/neuter vans and RVs to serve rural areas where the nearest veterinarian may be hours away. I am extremely passionate about high-quality spay and neuter procedures being available to people of all income levels. This is the best way to end animal overpopulation, homelessness, and high euthanasia rates in our shelters.
Alternatively, I enjoy helping people get the basic care their pets need in a timely fashion and at an affordable price. In my spare time, I like to spend time with family and multiple pets on our ranch, attend and serve at my church, and explore the many beautiful landscapes of New Mexico.
