Dr. Jonathan Grindley
Medical Director
Baruch College; Tufts University- Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine
One reason Dr. Grindley says he loves helping pets: they can't speak for themselves! So, he takes great pride in supporting the human/animal bond. He’s also a fan of how VEG disrupts the industry and challenges the way we approach veterinary medicine, and of course, the great workplace culture. He’s the happy owner of an English Pointer.

VEG is skilled to handle emergency care for avians, reptiles, and all types of exotic pets.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT VEG?
When you take your pet to VEG, you’ll be seen by a veterinarian right away, even before filling out paperwork. We’ll even meet you at your car if you need help bringing in your pet. No waiting in the lobby; you stay with your pet the entire time, even if surgery is involved. And yes, we’re pet lovers, but we’re people-friendly too!
