Jon Dickson is a third generation veterinarian from Bakersfield who graduated from UC San Diego with a BS in Physiology and Neuroscience, minoring in the History of Science. He then attended UC Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine and graduated in 2013. Following graduation, he completed a rotating internship in emergency medicine, general practice, shelter medicine, internal medicine, and surgery at an animal referral and emergency center in Arizona. He moved back to Bakersfield to begin working as an Associate Veterinarian at Bakersfield Veterinary Hospital. Having grown up in Bakersfield, Dr. Dickson spent his summers surfing Ventura County beaches, enjoying the coastal weather. So, in the Spring of 2017, when Dr. Dickson and his family had the opportunity to relocate from Bakersfield to Ventura, they took it. His professional interests are soft tissue surgery, diagnostic imaging, and emergency medicine. When he’s not spending time with his wife, our very own Dr. Marnie Burgoyne, and their daughter, he enjoys soccer, surfing, mountain biking, hiking, and playing board games.
