This week’s Vet Video Series features Dr. Jessica Christenson of Town & Country Animal Hospital in Fairfax, one of the trusted sister hospitals to Columbia Pike Animal Hospital & Emergency Center.
Dr. Christenson’s journey in veterinary medicine actually began right here at Columbia Pike Animal Hospital, where she worked as a technician during her college summers. Those hands-on experiences helped shape her passion for animal care and gave her a deep appreciation for the teamwork and dedication that both hospitals share.
After earning her undergraduate degree at a small college in Indiana, Dr. Christenson went on to attend Virginia Tech’s College of Veterinary Medicine. Following graduation, she joined the Town & Country team as a full-time veterinarian and has been here ever since.
She enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine, especially soft tissue surgery, dental care, and helping pets age gracefully. Dr. Christenson is passionate about problem solving and loves working with pet parents to find the best possible solutions for their animals.
Outside of the hospital, she enjoys tending to her flock of chickens, spending time with her three dogs, one cat, and three children, with help from her husband.
