Dr. Jim

Three words that describe Dr. Jim the most are caring, compassionate and dedicated. You will find him at the clinic working late at night keeping watch over his patients and communicating with their owners about their pet’s status and labwork results or just returning calls. He has a great love for internal medicine and spends many hours consulting with specialists in the veterinary field, in order to customize the optimal health care plan for each patient. He gives quality time to each appointment As a client, you never feel that Dr. Jim does not have time for you. The youngest of three brothers, Dr. Jim was born and raised in Southern California. His love of animals soon led him to leave the family rentals and sales business to pursue the ‘more noble profession.’ He attended Cal Poly, Pomona and worked with an equine veterinarian for two years. After receiving his Bachelor of Science degree, he relocated to Baton Rouge, LA where he studied and received a Master’s of Science degree in Equine Reproductive Physiology. From there it only made sense to complete his years of schooling by earning his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree, which was awarded at the University of Georgia, College of Veterinary Medicine in 1992. His hobbies include woodworking and riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle whenever he gets a chance, as well as attending his children’s many musical and sporting events.
