It is with sadness (for us) and excitement (for him) that we want to let our clients know that Dr Jake Jelsema will be leaving our practice at the end of July. For those of you who's pets have seen Dr Jake, you have gotten to experience first-hand the dedication, caring and compassion he has for our clients and their pets. While we will greatly miss him being a part of our team, we are excited for what the future holds for him. Below are a few words he wanted to share.
After two meaningful years, I’ll be concluding my time as an associate veterinarian with the incredible teams at Pet Vet Clinic and Jelsema Veterinary Clinic at the end of this month. As I say a heartfelt goodbye, I’m deeply grateful for the relationships I’ve built with compassionate coworkers, dedicated pet owners, and the pets we’ve cared for together, through the smiles and tears. It’s been a privilege to work each day toward a shared goal: supporting the well-being of pets and the families who love them.
I leave this chapter with nothing but gratitude: for the people, the lessons, and the experiences that have shaped me, and with hope for what lies ahead. I’m stepping into a new and promising opportunity, one that will continue to shape me both as a veterinarian and as a person.
Thank you for letting me be a part of you and your pets’ journeys.
Respectfully,
Dr. Jake Jelsema
