JENNIFER WEH, DVM, DACVS-SA
DIPLOMATE, AMERICAN COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SURGEONS
Jennifer Weh grew up in Michigan — rehabilitating wild animals and taming stray cats. She pursued a degree in English at Harvard Radcliffe College and held a rewarding job in book publishing in New York City before pursuing her calling as a veterinarian. In veterinary school at Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Weh was drawn to the collaborative nature of multi-specialty care and to the rewarding nature of a helping career. After graduation, Dr. Weh jumped into an internship at the University of Pennsylvania. Her drive for excellence and her love of fixing and building things, led her to pursue specialization in surgery. Returning to Boston, she was a surgical resident at Tufts and Angell Animal Medical Center.
After residency, Dr. Weh moved to Seattle to join the first emergency and critical care practice in the area. She established a surgery service in the South Sound and grew it for many years before joining Puget Sound Veterinary Specialists.
Dr. Weh considers herself a true general surgeon. She has a particular interest in fracture repair and technical soft tissue surgery (oncologic, trauma and reconstructive surgery, thoracic surgery, and minimally invasive surgery). She enjoys the precision of elective orthopedics and the diagnostic and therapeutic challenge of emergency surgery cases.
The most rewarding aspect of being a veterinary surgeon for Dr. Weh is the daily opportunity to grow meaningful relationships. She values having a positive effect in people’s and pet’s lives through listening and tailoring solutions. She thrives in a collaborative space where each member of the surgery team is valued and invested in learning and doing their best. Caring for pets allows all of us access to people’s hearts, how we act both behind the scenes and with each other matters greatly.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Weh is often found on or near the Puget sound with her family. She is most alive anywhere in the wild with her two kids.
