Jill Bair DVM
Dr. Jill grew up on a dairy farm in eastern Pennsylvania. She knew from a very young age that not being a veterinarian was not an option. An early admission to Purdue Veterinary School brought her to Indiana in 1999 and she has never left. She practiced in a mixed animal practice in Danville IN from 2003 to 2008, then at a Danville IL practice from 2008 to 2013. She then decided it was time to start her own practice. In her spare time she rides horses and shows in the American Ranch Horse Association Circuit. She and her son's pets include 2 cats, Piper and Sara, and 5 Dalmatians. Dr. Jill says that Dalmatians are like potato chips.. you can't have just 1.. or 2.. or 3.. or... |
