Meet Our Doctor

Dr. Jolene North, DVM

After growing up on a beef cow farm and an early start in zoo keeping, Dr. North followed her love of all species into veterinary medicine and around the world.

Dr. North spent the first eight years of her veterinary career in the US Army Veterinary Corps.  She served in varied positions ranging from clinical doctor, zoonotic disease consultant, humanitarian aid mission planner and team leader, instructor for military and other government dog handler rescue/deployment medicine courses, managing a general practice hospital for pets of service members, disaster response, and various other roles.

After the military, she utilized the particular trauma and emergency skills she had developed in her Army career to take her veterinary career into emergency medicine. She initially worked at a multi-hospital AAHA certified and multiple national award winning practice in Phoenix, AZ in exclusively ER medicine.  She then relocated to the PNW in 2017 where she continued working in several different area emergency clinics, in both full time and relief positions.

After finishing a total of 10 years in ER work, Dr. North decided she needed more daylight in her life and made the change into general practice, working first at WellHavens’ Milwaukee location. Dr. North is very happy to take on the Principal Doctor role here at the Hillsboro location, to help expand our practice and further support our local pet community.
