Holistic Veterinary Care

Dr. Jessica Levy grew up in Mill Valley, California, and spent her childhood running wild in the woods and having poison ivy all the time. In the mid 70's, her family moved to Israel. She lived in Jerusalem, attended middle school and high school, served two years in the Israel Defense Force, and studied at Tel Aviv University. Halfway through a physical therapy degree program, Dr. Levy decided to fulfill her childhood dream of being a veterinarian. She dropped out, worked as a farm hand for 6 months to earn enough money for a plane ticket, and returned to the United States. Her oldest sister was living in Maryland, so that's where she went. She lived in a hippie commune on a farm for a few years while doing her undergraduate work at Montgomery College in Germantown, Maryland. Dr. Levy then moved to Blacksburg, Virginia, to attend the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech. During her senior year, Dr. Levy met her husband, who was visiting from Minnesota. That's how she ended up here.
