Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Jeff Klemens graduated from the Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2005. He spent his first 8 years in general practice at two busy day practices in North Central Indiana. He joined NCVEC in Sept of 2013 with the intent to do relief work for only a few months. The fates it would appear had other plans as he has melded seamlessly into the full time staff. He primarily works the overnight shifts at our Westville facility, and doesn't mind the late nights or early mornings. While not keeping the watch fires burning Dr. Klemens is an avid gamer and sci-fi/fantasy enthusiast. He enjoys putting on his Chef Jeff hat in the kitchen, especially in the summer when the ingredients are fresh. He loves to travel, having stepped on 3 continents and both hemispheres already. On a warm afternoon there is a good chance you'll find him outside with his wife Dr. Lyndsay Klemens and their menagerie of pets at their property in La Porte County. "My mother once told me that life happens when you are making other plans. That fits my arrival to NCVEC perfectly. It's an amazing opportunity to be part of such a great team of co-workers and provide a much needed service to the pet owning community. I've yet to be part of a more enjoyable work environment, even with the gloom and doom that can manifest some shifts."
