Veterinary Super Power: Client Care

Dr. Jason Christensen is Co-Owner and Medical Director at Hello Vet Pet Wellness Center. His clients describe him as kind and compassionate, which makes sense given that his motto for practice is the quote, “they won’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”.
 
He has been passionate about helping people and their pets since childhood, growing up on a farm in northern Iowa. 
 
Dr. Jason and his wife, Dr. Sheena, opened Hello Vet in July 2021. When not working together, they raise two kiddos and two dogs together. Dr. Jason loves all things nature, camping, and traveling.
