Alex Hoffman, DVM

Dr. Alex Hoffman, affectionately known as "Dr. Alex" around the clinic, grew up in northern Wisconsin and has always had a passion for animals, science, and problem-solving. He earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from St. Norbert College before continuing his studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine, where he earned his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine.

Dr. Hoffman joined Germantown Animal Hospital right out of vet school, and he loves the practice’s close-knit community and commitment to providing high-quality veterinary care. His medical interests include internal medicine, dermatology, and surgery, but what he enjoys most is connecting with his patients and their families.

Known around the clinic as the king of excellent jokes and analogies, Dr. Hoffman brings humor and warmth to every interaction, lightening the mood even on the busiest days.

When he’s not at the clinic, Dr. Hoffman enjoys spending time outdoors fishing, hiking, and golfing, or just working in the yard. He’s kept on his toes by his three energetic children, whose boundless energy and curiosity remind him that there’s never a dull moment at home. He’s incredibly grateful for his wife, whose unwavering support and love are the foundation of their family. Together, they make a great team, balancing their busy lives with warmth, laughter, and love.

They also share their home with their golden retriever, Cedar, who completes the family and always brings a smile to their faces.
