Our Story
Animal Clinic of Manalapan was founded with a simple but powerful vision: to create a veterinary experience that feels different. After years in traditional veterinary settings, we saw a need for something more personal; care that prioritizes time, connection, and comfort alongside excellent medicine. We built this clinic to reflect those values. Here, every patient is treated with compassion, every client is heard, and every visit is approached with intention. Our goal is not only to treat illness, but to support lifelong health and strengthen the bond between pets and their families.
Meet our Team
Dr. Sherina Florant
DVM
Born and raised in the Caribbean, she moved to the United States at a young age and has pursued her lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian ever since.
She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from Rutgers University and went on to receive her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Ross University. Over the past ten years, Dr. Florant has worked as a general practitioner, serving both as an associate veterinarian and in leadership roles, where she helped guide teams and deliver high-quality patient care across multiple hospitals.
Driven by a desire to create something more personal and impactful, Dr. Florant chose to pivot into practice ownership, along side Dr. Bernstein. Through Animal Clinic of Manalapan, she is bringing her vision to life by building a space that combines modern veterinary medicine with a warm, family-centered approach. She is most recently certified as an Integrative Natural Veterinary Nutrition consultant. She believes that nutrition supports lifelong health and is excited to bring this additional expertise to this clinic, helping pets live healthier, lives through whole body approach to care.
As a wife and mother of two, Dr. Florant deeply understands the bond between pets and their families. That perspective shapes her approach to care, treating every patient as if they were her own.
Outside of the clinic, she enjoys spending time with her family, her dog Chloe, and embracing her creative and active interests, including gardening, dancing, drawing, and enjoying the outdoors whenever time allows.
Dr. Anna Bernstein
DVM
Dr. Bernstein graduated from St. George’s University in 2014 and has been dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality veterinary care ever since.
Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Dr. Bernstein relocated to New Jersey in 2019 and is proud to serve the local community.
Fluent in both English and Russian, Dr. Bernstein enjoys connecting with families from diverse backgrounds and ensuring every client feels comfortable, understood and well informed throughout their pets care.
Throughout her career, Dr. Bernstein has had the opportunity to practice in both private and corporate medicine, gaining valuable experience in each setting. These experiences gave her a well rounded perspective on veterinary care and ultimately inspired her to return to private practice. She is excited to partner with Dr. Florant in opening Animal Clinic of Manalapan where they are combining their shared vision of compassionate care and meaningful relationships with the families they serve.
Outside of the clinic, Dr Bernstein enjoys spending time with her two beautiful daughters, Lilly and Ariella. She is passionate about building lasting relationships with pets and their families and strives to treat every patient with the same care and compassion she would give her family.
