Dr. Jessica Malec graduated from the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine in 2024. She was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs and moved to Minnesota for her undergraduate and veterinary degrees. Dr. Jess found a love of  wildlife and exotic species through her work at both small animal and wildlife hospitals. She loves the challenge and the creativity that comes with caring for our non-traditional pets, and looks forward to connecting with owners to improve the lives of their critters. Her professional interests include canine, feline, & exotic animal medicine. In her free time, Dr. Jess loves to garden outside with her dog Vinny, go camping, and attend brewery trivia nights with her friends. She is so excited to explore the beauty that Oregon has to offer.
