Meet Our Team

Phineas is a great emotional support for the team at Heritage Oaks Animal Hospital. In exchange for a fair share of daily cuddles, he supplies atomic purrs and interrupts everyone’s computer entry as a solid, opaque monitor block, forcing work breaks.

Jessica joined our health care team in 1997 while in high school. She has been the lead technician of Northern Oaks since 2007. Jessica is a Licensed Veterinary Technician, having earned her degree through an AAHA accredited school in 2012.
