Jennifer Cornell's veterinary career began at Washington State University, where she graduated with her doctorate in veterinary medicine. After graduating, Dr. Cornell entered into the veterinary workforce as an officer in the United States Army Veterinary Corps. Following her time in the army, Dr. Cornell moved on to her first small animal practice, caring for the dogs and cats of Spokane, Washington. Eventually, the pull to return to her New England roots brought her back to the east coast in 2004, at which time she joined a large, multi-doctor practice providing cutting-edge veterinary medicine to the Manchester community. It was at this practice that she met Dr. Carey and their dream of opening a practice together was born!
Dr. Cornell enjoys many aspects of veterinary medicine, but has a particular professional passion for pain-management, internal medicine, and geriatric care, as well as fear-free handling and client communication. Dr. Cornell's 20+ years of clinical experience practicing veterinary medicine across such diverse settings has given her a uniquely informed perspective of pet health care and she looks forward to sharing this with you. She views veterinary medicine as a true partnership between provider and family, and strives to create a collaborative experience for all her patients and clients.
When she isn't caring for the dogs and cats of the Exeter community, Dr. Cornell can be found exploring beautiful New Hampshire from her kayak, gardening in her backyard, or traveling – camera in hand – with her husband, Brant. She is also the proud owner of Stella the rambunctious kitty and Etta the refined pug. Dr. Cornell's veterinary superpower is surprising the team with special mood-boosting food treats at the most perfect times [citation].
