Meet dr. Jeannette m. Kelly
Dr. Jeannette M. Kelly founded Veterinary Cancer Care in 2004, recognizing that pets in New Mexico deserved access to specialized oncology care close to home.
A graduate of Colorado State University, Dr. Kelly completed a rigorous residency in veterinary oncology and became board-certified in 2009. Her approach blends the latest advances in cancer treatment, including immunotherapy, genomic testing, and clinical trials, with integrative therapies that support the whole patient.
What truly sets Dr. Kelly apart is her philosophy: quality of life comes first. She believes every pet deserves a treatment plan that considers comfort, happiness, and dignity alongside clinical outcomes.
“We strive for health and healing by individualizing medicine and focusing on the root of illness rather than the treatment of symptoms.”
