    Janielle Vergne D.V.M.

    I felt a need to help animals ever since I would see them roaming the streets of Puerto Rico where I grew up. I wanted to pick up every one of them up, get them healthy, and find them homes. Being a veterinarian is and has always been my passion. I could not imagine myself doing anything else. I fulfilled my dream at Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2002. Thereafter, I completed a small animal medicine and surgery internship and have been a small animal general practitioner ever since. I enjoy many facets of veterinary medicine, especially internal medicine, wound management and behavior, but throughout my career I have learned to recognize the need to make the veterinary visit as stress-free as possible. I have a very busy personal life, taking care of two young boys, four dogs, a cat, four guinea pigs, a goldfish, and a leopard gecko. I feed my soul by practicing photography, yoga, and reading.
