Mastersons' Veterinary Clinics is pleased to announce, that Dr. Jodi Lynn Smith of Lancaster, Ohio, has joined our practice as a full-time associate. Dr. Smith is a Buckeye born and raised and has a work history full of diversity and adventure. She graduated from The Ohio State University in 1995 and has worked in practices from Montana to Virginia to Hawaii on her veterinary journey. Although she started her career as a mixed animal practitioner, since 2006, her passion has been for small animal, companion animal medicine and soft tissue surgery, as well as exotics/wildlife medicine and surgery.
Dr. Smith has a son and a daughter that are long out of the nest. She currently resides in her hometown of Lancaster, Ohio and is raising her granddaughter, Paislee, full time. She also shares her home with 2 dogs (Doobi and Chaos), and 4 incredibly beloved cats (Kylo Ren, Jypsy Jo, Chico Loco and Silas). For fun, she loves being outside, gardening, hiking, traveling to tropical hideaways, attempting DIY projects, poker, CUBS baseball, Ohio State Football, attending Tree Church regularly, and spending time with her family and two young grandchildren.
In addition to dogs and cats, Dr. Smith is excited to offer EXOTICS appointments for clients in the area in need of preventive, medical, or surgical care for their unique pets!! The types of pets that Dr. Smith sees in private practice include, birds of all types (including chickens), reptiles and amphibians (turtle/tortoises, lizards, some aquatic species), pocket pets (rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, sugar gliders), ferrets, rabbits, chinchillas, guinea pigs, and any ODAG certified wildlife educational pet or privately kept pet, such as raccoons, prairie dogs, falcons, skunk, fox, and bobcats. Appointments for ODAG certified wildlife MUST be pre-scheduled and approved on a day that Dr. Smith can see them, as they oftentimes require special veterinary protocols and sedation for their appointments.
Dr. Smith will be seeing clients regularly at our New Lexington and Somerset offices and looks forward to meeting new furry friends! Dr. Smith is eager to help clients in Perry and surrounding counties, obtain knowledgeable and trustworthy medical advice for their treasured pets! We are excited to have Dr. Smith become a part our team!
Join us in welcoming her to the clinic!🐾❤️
