Dr. Jessica Bishop

Medical Director

Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine

Dr. Bishop started her career in veterinary medicine in 2005. She wore several veterinary hats during undergrad and veterinary school, gaining exposure to general practice, internal medicine, radiology, and zoo medicine, working as a receptionist, assistant,and animal care intern. She fell in love with emergency medicine working as an ER technician. After graduating in 2013, she completed a small animal rotating internship at New England Animal Medical Center, and worked there as an emergency-critical care associate, primarily overnights, until she joined VEG in 2019. She was inspired to make the move to VEG after learning about the culture of keeping people and pets together, the open concept, and the opportunities for emergency doctors to learn, grow, and develop, both medically and professionally.

VEG was awesome when my cat accidentally swallowed a piece of his toy and we had to induce vomiting. When we called, I spoke to a doctor right away and we made a game plan for how to handle it. Staff made it so we could check in on the way over which meant they were ready for us when we arrived. The staff was kind, communicative, and had a great sense of humor about our cat’s poor choices - I’m so glad we had such a quality emergency vet option nearby!

There is a reason why there are so many raving reviews about this place because they are seriously so excellent. I was having an emergency with my bunny late at night and as you know, most places will not take exotic pets so I was absolutely panicking. When another emergency vet told me to go to veg in newton I drove straight there and called them about what was happening with my bunny. Vet tech was literally waiting outside for me to show up and they took my bunny right to look at him. The care and reassurance that they had given me was immaculate and I am so glad that I went here. My bunny is doing absolutely amazing now. Dr. Mello was incredibly thorough and also the vet tech that works there with the dreads (I did not catch her name I’m so sorry) and the tech Danielle were also so kind and informative. We hope not to have emergencies like this, but I’m so glad to know that there is a place that is so kind and caring and amazing in case anything ever happens again. I seriously would never go anywhere else in an emergency with my pets. Thank you guys so much for caring so much.

Veg in newton has taken care of Utah on 2 different occasions and has treated her like family-shout out to Dr. M and Dr. K for their continued support and love of my favorite and only furry being-highly recommend and would give 6 stars if that were possible. Thanks to the docs at VEG and their lovely staff Utah is thriving :)
