Meet Dr. Jessica Sims

Dr. Sims is a proud graduate of the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine. She loves being able to make a difference in her patients' and clients' lives with her empathetic, thorough approach to each case.

Helping others through volunteer work has always been one of her greatest passions, with projects including humane societies, 6 years at the Knoxville Zoo, fostering kittens and parrots, and, most recently, spaying and neutering stray cats and dogs with Planned Pethood Mexico in underprivileged areas of the Yucatan. She hopes to continue finding new ways to give back.

At home, her two spoiled boxers, Titan and Vaughn, occupy much of her time along with her husband, Aaron, and young son, Wyatt – both of whom may also be spoiled.
