We wanted to share that Dr. Jill has officially retired, after more than 30 years of practicing veterinary medicine in this community.
To many of you, she became more than just your veterinarian—she became a trusted friend. She had the privilege of being part of some of your most meaningful moments: welcoming new pets, watching families grow, and offering comfort during difficult goodbyes. It was truly an honor for her to be part of your lives and your pets’ care.
The wonderful veterinarians and staff you’ve come to know remain with the practice, and we are confident you’ll continue to receive the same compassionate and skilled care you’ve always relied on. Dr. Shann Ikezawa will be stepping into the Lead role at our practice. The management team will remain focused on day-to-day operations. To further support WCVH, Jill has partnered with an organization that will be working alongside the team to ensure we continue delivering the highest level of care.
Dr. Jill is now enjoying retirement and spending more time with her family, but she remains incredibly thankful for the trust and support you’ve shown her through the years. If you have any questions about the transition, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the clinic.
Thank you for being a part of her journey!
-The Team at Walnut Creek Veterinary Hospital
