Veterinarians:
Dr. Jeff Jacobson
Dr.Jacobson is our licensed veterinarian and he opened his own practice back in 2001 which was 21 years ago! His clinic has been kicking ever since.
Dr.J has two pets of his own, a standard poodle and a staffordshire bull terrier.
In his free time he loves spending time with family and friends and we can assure you that he will be singing at all times!
Stop in and say hi to Dr.Jacobson or if you’ve never been with us, come on in and get to know a little more about our clinic! Feel free to bring your furry friends in as well to get used to the lobby and see how much they weigh! Dr.J would love to get to know you if he doesn’t already.
Office Manager:
Tricia
Tricia has been an office manager for Dr.J since April of 2002! She has 4 Parson Russel Terriers and says they are “fun, crazy, and pure entertainment!”
In her free time, she enjoys traveling to show her dogs. All of them are finished champions and have more than excelled in the show ring. She also has an Antique business called Rusty Antiques, which I recommend you go check out!
A fun fact about her is that in 2019 her dog Jinx won best of breed at the prestigious Westminster kennel club dog show! She says “between all of the Parsons over the years, we have won 3 national specialties and 13 all breed best in shows”. Round of applause for that.
Long story short, Tricia is a busy and successful gal ! But she always makes time for the lovely clients that come through the doors of Dr.J’s clinic and always has a welcoming smile! Don’t be afraid to say hi next time you’re in.

Shayna has been an LVT for Dr.J for 8 years now! I’d say that’s pretty impressive!
The photo Shayna provided below is of her two Border terriers and her favorite hobby is bone hunting! Very unique!
A fun fact about her is that bacon is her favorite food, which I think a lot of us can agree with!
Stop in today and say hi to Shayna! She will brighten your day with one of her jokes I’m sure!

Miranda
Miranda has been with us for about a year now as a Veterinary Assistant. She actually has a puppy of her own! 9 month old Great Dane pup named Kane. He is pictured below but what you can’t see is his cute little white spot on his chest that looks like a bow tie! He’s prepared to be dapper for any event!
To add onto what’s above, her favorite hobby is playing with her puppy. I think we can all vouch for that, I mean look at that face!!!
A fun fact about Miranda is that she enjoys riding horses. She was on the equestrian team and rode western style for a couple of years. She loves trail riding and would love to own her own horse(s) some day.
