Dr. Jeri grew up in southwest Houston, TX, and graduated in 2016 from The University of Houston with a BS in biology. She initially pursued human medicine but came to realize her passion for animals and the need for advocacy and education in the animal-loving community. Luckily for us, Dr. Jeri decided to become a veterinarian instead.
She moved to Arizona to attend Midwestern University School of Veterinary Medicine and graduated in 2020. Dr. Jeri met her husband, Jamie, at Midwestern. Jamie is also a vet!
In her years of practice, Dr. Jeri has developed a strong interest in soft tissue surgery, preventative medicine, pain management, and small mammal exotic medicine. She joined Animal Care Hospital of Phoenix because it feels like her “second family” and she loves that we have such close relationships with our clients. Dr. Jeri says “I love my patients as if they were my own pets and only hope to guide people to become the best pet owners possible.” Like the rest of our staff, Dr. Jeri is also Fear Free certified.
When she’s not working Dr. Jeri enjoys spending time with her husband and their three dogs and one cat. She enjoys tending to her vegetable garden, going to the gym, throwing pottery, and, most of all, reading while sipping hot coffee.
