When asked, “Why Village Veterinary Hospital?” Amanda said: “Dr. Jones is not only an amazing doctor – she is also an amazing person in general. I have worked closely with her for several years and know firsthand how compassionate she is about animals and the care she provides for them. She is a hard worker and provides her patients with a high standard of care. There is literally no other veterinarian I would want to work with in providing care for pets in the Metro East Area.” [citation]
