About Me


Dr. Jurney is originally from Atlanta, and graduated summa cum laude from the University of Georgia, College of Veterinary Medicine in 2005. After vet school she completed an internship at the VCA Specialty Center of Seattle and her neurology residency at the University of Pennsylvania. She was awarded her neurology diplomate in 2009 and her Advanced Neurosurgery Certificate in 2011. 

While at the University of Pennsylvania she found her love of teaching, and excelled making the often unloved doctrine of neurology both understandable and practical for her students. This skill has served her well across numerous speaking engagements, in teaching residents and while educating her clients about their pet's condition.

Dr. Jurney is an enthusiastic clinician. While she enjoys all of neurology, neurosurgical procedures have a special place in her heart. She is one of the top neurosurgeons in the San Francisco Bay Area.

She currently lives with her husband and their pets in beautiful San Francisco. In her spare time Dr. Jurney is a founding board member, and current president of
Not One More Vet, the largest wellness focused charity for veterinarians in the world in addition to being a sculptor, amateur blacksmith and adventurous cook.
