Skillful, Compassionate care
Rodney Jerger, DVM
I graduated with honors from Ross University in 2005 and became co-owner of DHVP in 2012 after gaining experience at multiple veterinary practices throughout New York City. When I’m not caring for patients, I enjoy spending time with my wife, our two children, our two dogs, and Axle the cat.

reviews & testimonials
My pet saw Dr Jerger after seeing a neurologist. Dr Jerger gave a more extensive exam than the specialist! I was very impressed. He’s knowledgeable and listens. You can see he loves and cares for animals. He will now be my permanent vet unless we have an emergency..
Debbie Landano
The care and compassion Dr. Brown showed my cat—and us—was extraordinary. They treated him with genuine love, and when it was time to let him go, Dr. Jerger made the process peaceful and gentle in the comfort of our home. I’m deeply grateful for their kindness and the dignity they gave my sweet boy. I couldn’t ask for a more caring and compassionate team.

I have been with Dogan Hills veterinary practice since I’ve had my first dog back in 1976 when Dr. Brown took over his practice I stayed with her and like her caring methods, I like that she listens and takes the time to explain everything, the staff is wonderful, caring, considerate of your feelings, I love the way she cares for my fur babies
Lorraine Surowiec
Hands down best Vet I have ever met. He was awesome with my pet. Gave him a great checkup. Didn’t push testing or vaccines. Explains everything and makes sure you understand. I found the fee very reasonable.

Dr Brown has seriously been a gift for our Stella's health !! For the first time in my life I actually feel LISTENED to when I walk into a vets office. She likes to take the natural approach instead of pushing chemical after chemical like unfortunately many other vets tend to do. Please do not listen to any of these negative reviews talking about money & the office requiring a deposit. If you plan on going & taking up an appointment slot there should be no worry about a deposit to hold the appointment. This is by far the BEST vet practice on the island if you are truly involved in whats best for your pet

Dongan Hills Veterinary Practice is absolutely the best! The entire team is caring, professional, and always goes above and beyond for their patients. Dr. Brown is an incredible veterinarian — compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated. She takes the time to explain everything and makes sure my dog Nox always feels calm and cared for. You can tell he genuinely loves animals and takes pride in what she does. I’m so grateful to have Dongan Hills Vet and Dr. Brown looking after Nox. Highly recommend them to anyone who wants the very best care for their pets!
