Meet Dr. Maureen Murphy
Founder & Lead Vet
Having grown up with dogs and owned them all her life, Dr. Murphy’s love for animals has been lifelong. It was this deep-rooted passion that inspired her to retrain later in life and turn her calling into a career.
She founded Vets Away (parent company of The Hoxton Vet), with a mission to bring back the familiarity and trust of a true family vet practice. Her goal has always been to offer personalised, consistent care, where clients feel empowered and connected to their pet's healthcare journey.
Meet Dr. Patrick Fitzgerald
Team Vet
Patrick joined Hoxton Vet in 2025 after moving from Melbourne and now calls East London home. He graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2020 and spent four years in an independent clinic, where he developed a strong foundation in routine surgery and a keen interest in internal medicine.
Outside the clinic, Patrick loves weekend trips around Europe and exploring East London’s vibrant food and music scene. He shares his home with two beloved dogs—Gus the Golden Retriever and Maggie, his senior Border Collie.
