Dr. Jesse Bejar earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Texas A&M Veterinary College in 2004. His love for and interest in animals, however, has been with him since childhood. Growing up, he always felt an innate connection with cats and dogs and their faithful companionship. These early relationships imbued in him an abiding belief in the importance of animal care and well-being. They also ultimately guided Dr. Jesse into his career, which encourages him to use his intuitive, observational, and problem-solving skills to care for the pet family members of his Charlottesville-Albemarle community. Dr. Jesse believes it is his duty to help clients look broadly at their pets' medical conditions and options, offering clients a range of treatments from cost-effective to full-service solutions.
Dr. Jesse met his lovely wife on a late-night emergency call early in his career. During the encounter, he successfully relieved her horse from a bout of colic and secured a life partner. The two headed off to Colorado for several years before returning to Charlottesville, his wife's hometown. They live on a small farm in Albemarle County with their two dogs, two cats, and three horses. They have 9-year-old twins who bring lots of energy to the household and keep Dr. Jesse and his wife on their toes.
Dr. Jesse is excited to bring Wag Veterinary to the area and honored to serve the people and pets of Virginia.
