Have been to many different vet..Dr Jess I cant recommend enough, clearly loves what she does and the animals she treats. Thorough, knowledgeable and comprehensive but above all compassionate.
If your looking for a vet you can trust and savvy with handling large breeds or working breeds then Dr Jess is your go to.
Dr Jessica is an extremely caring and dedicated vet. Her love of animals clearly shows in the level of attentive care given. Jessica provided regular updates on my dog's condition. Gave clear instructions for at home meditation. Her follow up phone call to check on my dog's progress, shows her dedication to her animal patients.
