Dr. Dampier – Veterinarian
Dr. Jessica Dampier joined the Pet Dental USA team in January of 2022. She started her veterinary career in general practice but soon found her love of dentistry and helping patients feel their best! She was raised in the Central Valley in California and knew she wanted to be a veterinarian since the first grade. In high school, she began working as a veterinary technician and was also involved in Future Farmers of America (FFA). This is where she raised goats and discovered that they are her favorite animal! She attended California State University, Fresno where she received her Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science. Dr. Jess and her husband, Jasper then moved to Arizona for veterinary school where she received a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Midwestern University in Glendale, Arizona. Dr. Jess, her husband and their daughter Aubrey have made Arizona their home and love going to concerts, hiking, and off-roading in their side-by-side. They have two dogs, Sammie and Wren. Sammie was a stray and Wren was Dr. Jess’s surgery patient during veterinary school. She adopted him from a rescue shortly after his surgery. We are so excited Dr. Jess has joined the Pet Dental USA family!
