Jeremy Lancer

Veterinary Education: Massey University, New Zealand

Dr. Lancer brings a lifelong passion for animal care and a global perspective to his work as a small animal veterinarian. Originally from Melville, NY, Dr. Lancer knew from the age of seven that he wanted to work with animals. His journey began with volunteer roles at local clinics and wildlife rehabilitation centers, laying the foundation for a career built on compassion and curiosity.

He earned his bachelor’s degree in psychobiology from Binghamton University, where he played lacrosse, served as a resident assistant, and volunteered with local shelters and ambulance corps. After gaining hands-on experience as a veterinary assistant in both general and specialty practices, Dr. Lancer took his education abroad—earning his veterinary degree from AVMA-accredited Massey University in New Zealand in 2009.

Dr. Lancer began his clinical career in a rural mixed-animal practice, treating a wide range of patients from cats and dogs to sheep and goats. In 2012, he returned home to Long Island and completed a competitive internship at the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island, where he was recognized for outstanding performance.

His professional interests include preventive medicine, clinical pathology, dermatology, soft tissue surgery, nutrition, behavior, and infectious disease.

Dr. Lancer lives in Huntington with his wife, Alexis—a primatologist—their son Leo, their dog Logan (a pit bull), and two cats, Tui and Kea. When he’s not caring for patients, you’ll find him enjoying the outdoors, working on cars, or diving into the latest tech.
