Jessica Prewitt, DVM/Medical Director

Dr. Jessica Prewitt, like many vets, has wanted to be a veterinarian for as long as she can remember. Her father still has a picture she drew in preschool of herself as a veterinarian. She loves medicine, animals, and helping people. For Dr. Prewitt, being a veterinarian is the best combination of all the those. Having a healthy pet go home to a happy family is why she is a veterinarian.

Dr. Prewitt's goal is to work together with clients to provide the best possible care to each pet with the goal of having them live happier, healthier lives so their humans can love them longer.

Dr. Prewitt lives with her fiance, Austin, and their toddler, Finnigan, who are her world. They share their home with their two rescue pups, VeeVee and Porter, and their hairless kitty, Jynx.

Growing up, Dr. Prewitt remembers hearing her dad's life motto that he got from his mother: 'if you are anything in this world, be honest, hardworking, and kind.' From relationships with friends and family, to education and her career, she tries to live her life by those simple words: be honest, hardworking, and kind!

Marybeth Porter, DVM

Dr. Porter became a veterinarian because she has always had a love for animals and science. She graduated in 1981 from WSU. Her goal at every visit is to address the concerns the client has for the patient, to give a thorough exam, and take care of the patient as the owner is able to do.

Dr. Porter is Fear Free Certified and is excited to help reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in our patients.

Dr. Porter's family includes her husband, one grown daughter and two grown sons. She has two Labradoodles of her own and takes pride in breeding an occassional litter of Labradoodles. And of course Sherlock, her 37 year old Amazon Parrot. 

Alex McCormick, DVM

Dr. Alex McCormick was born and raised in Sedona, Arizona surrounded by pets. She knew she wanted to be a veterinarian since she was 4 years old and never wavered from her dream of helping animals. Although she was from Arizona, Washington always intrigued her and it was an easy decision to attend Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine and make the Pacific Northwest her new home.

Dr. McCormick graduated from WSU in 2013. She loves science and medicine and the puzzle pieces that make up disease. She is especially interested in internal medicine and ophthalmology, but every aspect of small animal medicine excites her. Her favorite thing about being a vet is waking up each day knowing it will be different from the last and that each day brings a new opportunity to make a difference in a pet’s life. Her goal with every patient is education and understanding for the client and a happy outcome for the pet.

Dr. McCormick is Fear Free Certified and loves to see how the patients respond to their low-stress visits.

Dr. McCormick's family includes her husband (also a veterinarian namedAlex), her young daughter Charlie, two dogs, Archie and Duke, and one cat named Mercedes. On her days off she enjoys hiking, biking, kayaking, and playing outdoors with her family.

Dr. McCormick believes you should do small things that make others feel big
