Dr Jann Rhea Elliott
 

Dr Elliott graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine in 2003. She began her veterinary career at a small animal clinic in Charlottesville, Virginia, but after 2.5 years felt the call of "the big city" and relocated to Washington, DC. You may recognize her from her 3 years at at our sister clinic in Dupont Circle. Dr Elliott adored her clients and her position as vet/medical director at Dupont Vet, but loves the change of pace and wonderful new clientele in the Palisades neighborhood.

Dr Elliott grew up in a small town in west Tennessee, and spent most of her childhood days playing with her family's cats, mutts, Miniature Schnauzers, Golden Retriever, turtles, etc. Her love of animals and desire to be a veterinarian to help animals in whatever way possible took hold at an early age.

She rode horses competitively in the hunter-jumper circuit from age 8, and still rides for fun. Her rambunctious Thoroughbred-Hungarian horse Toby provides all the equestrian challenges she needs, while his retired mother horse Little Fat lives it up by relaxing in Tennessee.

Dr Elliott attended Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, and majored in Biology. 

Dr Elliott and her husband bought a home in DC in 2006, and love it here. They are officially Capitals and Nationals fans for life. They enjoy jogging through the monuments and exploring the various restaurants (especially those with moules frites!) throughout the city. They share their home with a very prissy cat named Miss Kitty and their  rescue dog, Maddie, a  Great Pyrenees. 

 Miss Kitty:

Her beloved Golden Retriever Beasley, smuggled into her dorm room as a puppy in 1997, passed away of incurable cancer in August 2007 after a brave fight, and will always be missed. Dr Elliott is pictured with Beasley in Time Square in New York City in July 2007 below. Sadly, his best buddy Riley Cat also passed away in January 2008 of a brain tumor, and Miss Kitty is searching the web for a new cat friend.

Dr Elliott's hobbies include jogging and being a last-place "competitor" in whatever 5k-10k she signs up for! She and her husband love traveling the globe. She rides horses whenever possible.

She looks forward to meeting everyone's pets in the Palisades!
