After graduation, Dr. Ellis worked with a variety of species in the White Mountains and then focused on small animal care in Scottsdale, AZ. Her medical philosophy focuses on superior care, preventative medicine, and client education. She has a special interest in soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, as well as dentistry.
Dr. Ellis is a passionate lover of animals, an outdoor enthusiast, and a connoisseur of great movies, popcorn, and generous portions of Junior Mints (and, of course, Milk Duds). She enjoys spending time with her husband, two daughters, and three dogs, Comet, Charlie, and Cinder(ella).
Dr. Jill Jackson, DVM

Doctor Jackson graduated from Iowa State University in 2007. She practiced in Iowa and California before moving to the White Mountains 6 years ago. Doctor Jackson grew up in North Dakota and enjoys the small-town atmosphere here. She loves dogs and cats and enjoys challenging medical cases and surgery.
Outside of work, she loves the outdoors and enjoys camping, hiking, fishing, days at the lake, and skiing with her husband and two little girls. Her pets include a large, cuddly bunny rabbit and a cat.
Our Team
Megan
Megan is the practice manager and has been with Aspen Ridge for ten wonderful years! You may not always see her around the hospital as she wears many hats, but she is always in the treatment room, giving your pets lots of love! Although she spends much of her time in the office, she has a special interest in radiology and dentistry. Megan has extensive CE and schooling under her belt in many different areas of veterinary medicine.
Her house is full, with three Boxers and a Rottweiler mix. During her free time, she loves spending time with her husband, daughter, and puppies. She loves to travel and curl up with a blanket and a good book. You will always find her with coffee in her hand; she couldn’t function without it!
