Dr. Jeanette Jiricek
DVM
Originally from Georgia, Dr. Jiricek moved to Indiana and has been providing quality, compassionate care for patients since 2019. She enjoys meeting new patients and educating clients on the importance of preventative medicine, especially dental health. Outside of the clinic Dr. Jiricek is a dedicated football fan. You can always find her cheering on her UGA bulldogs on game days with her dog, Rauri by her side!
Dr. Jess Gilliatt
DVM
Dr. Gilliatt (they/them) is a graduate of Western University of Health Sciences class of 2016. Dr. Gilliatt hit the ground running right out of school in Bloomington, IN and spent their first three years working in general practice and obtaining their Masters in Public Health. During that time they realized their passion for accessibility and spectrum of care and decided to move to the non-profit sector to provide low-cost care.
After 7 years in Bloomington, they made the move home to Indianapolis to live with their partner and be closer to family. Missing the connection with owners and opportunity to educate about pet ownership, Dr. Gilliatt chose to get back into general practice.
Dr. Gilliatt especially enjoys soft tissue surgery, dental care, ophthalmology cases, and infectious disease cases. Willing to take on any case, Dr. Gilliatt strives to create a safe and affirming environment to ensure owners feel heard and respected. They feel that this intentional time with owners fosters a teamwork approach to provide the care that each family is seeking for their furry loved ones.
Dr. Gilliat is a member of the Pride Veterinary Medical Community and obtained a CARE REDI (Companions and Animals for Reform and Equity; Racial Equity, Diversity and Inclusion) certificate. Their personal goal is to practice proactive, compassionate medicine that prioritizes human and animal well-being by addressing bias, promoting accountability, and amplifying marginalized voices.
In their free time, Dr. Gilliatt enjoys relaxing with their partner, playing video games, hiking, gardening, and spending time with family. They have two delightfully crusty chihuahuas and a moderately spicy tortishell cat.
