PetMeds® Team of Pharmacists

Eddie, PetMeds Pharmacist

Eddie Khoriaty

A St. John’s University alumnus, Eddie Khoriaty has built a career rooted in care beginning in retail and neonatal hospital settings and evolving into a 19-year tenure at PetMed Express, Inc. For nearly two decades, he has led a dedicated team of pharmacists and technicians in dispensing essential medications, guided by a lifelong love for animals and a commitment to their well-being.

Based in Delray Beach, Eddie is a devoted “cat dad” to three felines who are fully convinced they’re human. Especially Gibson, a Devon Rex who insists on supervising Eddie’s morning tooth-brushing like a curious younger brother. When he’s not helping pets live longer, happier, healthier lives, Eddie can usually be found playing his guitar or unwinding with a good nature documentary.

Doris, PetMeds Pharmacist

Doris Garcia

Doris earned her Pharm.D. degree from Nova Southeastern University and works at PetMeds® because of her love for animals, and because she did her school rotation here with us and loved it. Although Doris was offered several other positions in retail human pharmacies, she waited until a position opened here and applied right away. Since we already knew Doris and how wonderful she is, the decision to bring her on was an easy one. She is a true success story and we are so proud to have a second one of our students choose to work here with us.
