Dr. Jessica Ennis is a Clinical Assistant Professor and Section Head of the Primary Care department. A southern New Jersey native, Dr. Ennis has been a dedicated local veterinarian for over a decade, serving the Greater Philadelphia Area. She earned her veterinary degree from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine in 2012 and began her career in emergency medicine. In 2013, demonstrating the initiative to provide accessible care, she developed a house call practice and partnered with a regional specialty practice. This collaboration led to the opportunity for her to build and lead a local general practice for eight years. During this time, she nurtured a passion in high-quality preventative medicine, emphasizing a “whole body approach” to each veterinary visit, which includes a focus on behavioral health and low-stress handling techniques. She also fine-tuned skills in effective communication, team leadership and culture development.

Dr. Ennis’ approach to medicine is deeply rooted in a passion for building strong partnerships with pet parents. Her commitment to understanding the individual needs and the deep love within each family drives her approach to veterinary medicine. This is supported by her practice of ongoing education, strong communication, and a truly compassionate understanding. When not caring for animals, Dr. Ennis attempts to navigate the joys and challenges of motherhood with the same dedication she brings to her veterinary work.
