Veterinarian

Dr. Jesse Pasternak is a veterinarian at Pasternak Veterinary Center, where he provides compassionate, individualized care with an emphasis on both Western and integrative medicine. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from the University of Missouri in 2015 and went on to receive his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from St. George’s University, Grenada, completing his clinical training at Virginia Tech and graduating in June 2025.

Dr. Pasternak has a special interest in dermatology, preventive care, and integrative medicine, and he is particularly interested in integrating alternative therapies such as acupuncture alongside conventional treatment approaches, with plans to pursue advanced training in this area and continue expanding his skills in integrative veterinary medicine. He believes that a thorough diagnostic workup combined with a tailored, patient-specific treatment plan is essential to optimizing long-term health and quality of life.

Having grown up around veterinary medicine, Dr. Pasternak developed an early appreciation for the human-animal bond and the importance of building strong relationships with clients. He is dedicated to continuing the standard of care established at Pasternak Veterinary Center, working closely with pet owners to address their concerns and provide clear, thoughtful guidance in managing their pet’s health.

Outside of veterinary medicine, Dr. Pasternak enjoys practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which he has been involved in since 2013, and became certified in advanced scuba diving while studying in Grenada.
