Biography and Education Profile

Dr. Jeyapaul graduated from Madras Veterinary College in Madras, India. After graduating, he became a Research Assistant at the Department of Pathology at the Madras Veterinary College. Soon after, he and his wife, Nirmala  moved to the United States. Dr. Daniel C. Stearns of Ohio offered him an internship that is required for foreign trained veterinarians at his six-doctor hospital. During this year of training, Dr. Jeyapaul passed the state licensing examination in Maryland, Ohio, and Florida. It was the hot sun and the palm trees of Florida that reminded him of his home town in India and so he finally decided to make it his home.

He opened his first clinic in 1983 in a shopping center and eventually moved to a 4000 sq.ft free standing building in the city of Royal Palm Beach, Florida where he practices today. He currently attends numerous continuing education classes in and around Florida. He has received three diplomas from the North American Veterinary Post-Graduate Institute.

Family

His wife Nirmala is a medical technologist at the JFK Medical Center. His older daughter, Preeya is a first year fellow in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at Brown University.  Dr. Jeyapaul's son-in-law, Paul, is also a physician.  His younger daughter, Cynthia is following in her father's footsteps and is a fourth year veterinary student at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine.  The last (but certainly not least) members of the Jeyapaul family are "Matti" the cat as well as the peppy Pomeranian, "Savannah", who is often seen lounging in the reception room, greeting clients.
