Dr. Jen is a graduate of Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. She received her clinical training at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. She opened Tender Heart in 2005. Originally from this area, she returned to provide a hospital environment that is compassionate for both the pet and the client.
Surgery: Our clinic uses a CO2 laser to perform most surgical procedures. This allows for minimal bleeding, swelling, risk of infection, and most importantly minimal pain. Dentistry: THVC offers extensive dental care including professional cleaning, extractions, and digital dental radiographs.
I appreciate the care Jax and I receive at Tender Heart. The reason I chose Tender Heart upon adopting Jax was because you went over and above with a dog I owned years ago. Your compassion with me throughout her medical struggles left a positive impression and I knew you were the only facility I would use for any future pets.

All of our German Shepherds have been clients of Dr. Jen. We would not trust anyone else with our beloved family members!

The entire staff at Tender Heart are the most kind, caring professionals that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Dr Wood's leadership and considerable skills provide a high level of confidence that your pet is receiving the best of care! I highly recommend bringing your pet to Tenderheart! You will feel like family there! Love them all!

I absolutely love the staff and doctors at Tenderheart. They not only help you handle some very difficult situations but do it with care and concern for you as well as your fur baby. I wouldn't take my babies anywhere else.

Literally couldn't be better. I got him on the cancelation list Thursday morning and you got him in that afternoon. Got him the shots he needed to fix his skin issue and he's 100% better than he was when I brought him in. He's not going insane licking his hair out and his skin is visibly healing more and more. You guys are the absolute best

I am happy with tender heart. I've been going for 14 years and I will continue to do so. To the manager who took her time to reach out to me and actually kindly communicate my last experience, THANK YOU! Really appreciate that. I will certainly be back

Everyone on the team treats their patients and pet parents like family. We've been going there for over 15 years and I would never go anywhere else! We've been through surgeries, new adoptions, and end of life care with them. I recommend them to anyone who is vet shopping in the area.

We have had Tender Hearts as our vet for many years. They have always been very accommodating and truly care about our pup & cat. When My cat Ollie needed to be spayed I was a nervous wreck! They went above and beyond by calling me more often then they normally would to give me updates on his status. They even let him recover I. The front reception area instead of back with the other cats/dogs because I told them Ollie had extreme anxiety when around other animals.

They have also been great with my 5 year old lab that has bad allergies. If you are looking for a place that cares for your pets the same way that you do, this is the place to go.

I have been using Tender Heart for my two cats for the last three years. All of the staff at Tender Heart are warm, friendly, knowledgeable and caring. Never have I felt they were rushing me, always listening to my concerns and answering my questions. I would highly recommend Tender Heart for all of your pet care needs.
