Charlottesville Veterinary Clinic inspired by a lifelong love for animals

Meet the Team

Dr. Jesse and Jessica are dedicated to ensuring the well-being of your pets at Wag Veterinary in Charlottesville.

Dr. Jesse Bejar earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Texas A&M Veterinary College in 2004. Dr. Jesse's love for and interest in animals, however, has been with him since childhood. Growing up, he always felt an innate connection with cats and dogs and their faithful companionship. These early relationships imbued in him an abiding belief in the importance of animal care and well-being. They also ultimately guided Dr. Jesse into his career, which encourages him to use his intuitive, observational, and problem-solving skills to care for the pet family members of his Charlottesville-Albemarle community. Dr. Jesse believes it is his duty to help clients look broadly at their pets' medical conditions and options, offering clients a range of treatments from cost-effective to full-service solutions.
Dr. Jesse met his lovely wife on a late-night emergency call early in his career. During the encounter he successfully relieved her horse from a bout of colic... and secured a life partner. The two headed off to Colorado for several years before returning to Charlottesville, his wife's hometown. They live on a small farm in Albemarle County with their two dogs, two cats, and three horses. They have 9-year old twins who bring lots of energy to the household and keep Dr. Jesse and his wife on their toes.
Dr. Jesse is excited to bring Wag Veterinary to the area and honored to serve the people and pets of Virginia.

Jessica Graves moved to the Charlottesville area to join Wag Veterinary after many years assisting at a veterinary hospital in northern Virginia. She is diligently working to finish her training and become a licensed veterinary technician. You will always find Jessica with a smile on her face running labs, helping Dr. J in surgery, and guiding clients through their medical dilemmas. Jessica most enjoys assisting in surgery and running anesthesia to keep your pets safe. Triaging patients and wound care are other areas that she takes great interest. In her spare time Jessica enjoys crafting, gardening and spending time outdoors with her family, friends and dog Otis. She looks forward to meeting your pets, especially the puppies and kittens, as she explores her new stomping grounds in Albemarle County.
