Dr. Randy is also incredibly proud of his daughter Nikole who is a teacher, and of his beautiful grandchildren whom he adores.

DR. JENNIFER GREAVES

Dr. Jennifer knew as a young girl that she wanted to be a veterinarian. Even at 13 years old she was already job shadowing at a local veterinary clinic. Later she became a kennel assistant and then a veterinary assistant at that clinic. It was then that she met Dr. Randy, who was instrumental in helping her to obtain her Veterinary degree. Upon graduating from Oregon State University in 2006 Dr Jennifer went to work for a variety of veterinary practices before settling here at Family Pet Clinic in 2012. Her addition to our team has been almost seamless, folding into our close-knit family environment here with ease. Dr. Jennifer enjoys the rural lifestyle of Yamhill County where she gardens, cooks, rides horses and loves spending time with her husband and daughters.

She completed an equine surgical internship in Ocala Florida before making her way to Newberg in 2008. Since then she has worked predominately with dogs and cats. She is so excited to start working in the community she has come to love over the past 7 years. She brings to the practice extensive knowledge and experience in medicine, surgery, dermatology and dentistry.
