Charlottesville Veterinary Clinic inspired by a lifelong love for animals

Meet the Team

Dr. Jesse and the team 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.

My name is Paige, I’m married with one son, a German Wirehaired Pointer named Rory, a one-eyed Tuxedo cat named Wells and a silver Tabby named Iroh. I love crafting and am always looking for my next project. I’ve been in veterinary medicine for 10 years and am extremely passionate about animals. I strive to make sure every client is educated and informed about all their options and care. Originally from Northern Virginia, I moved to Afton 8 years ago and am still excited about serving this rural community.

My name is Gabrielle but most everyone calls me Gabby. I have an aussie/catahoula/beagle mix named Indy and several cats. I enjoy crocheting, watching anime, reading, and kayaking. I’ve been in veterinary medicine for about 18 years and a Licensed Veterinary Technician for the last 15 years. I enjoy anesthesia, pain management, and all the spicy cats! Originally from Churchville, but now settled in the Waynesboro area.

Hi! My name is Novahly or Nova for short. At home I have two kitty cats named Finn and Frida who I adopted last November. I started my journey in veterinary medicine here at Wag this past spring as a vet assistant and have been loving every moment of it. So far I've thoroughly enjoyed learning the basics of veterinary care and look forward to expanding my knowledge.
