welcome to VEG Pleasant Hill!
Dr. Jason Dombrosky
Medical Director
Western University of Health Sciences; California Veterinary Specialists rotating internship
During his internship, Dr. Dombrosky discovered his love for emergency medicine. With years of emergency experience in specialty hospitals, he accepted the opportunity to open his own practice for VEG in 2021. Dr. Dombrosky is proud to celebrate each anniversary of “helping people and their pets when they need it most” at VEG! Dr. Dombrosky lives in California with his wife (an equine veterinarian), three wonderful kids, and in true vet med fashion, a number of animals. Says Dr. Dombrosky, “Our days are definitely busy and revolve around pick ups, drop offs, and feeding kids and critters!”
