About Dr. Jurney


Dr. Carrie Jurney is originally from Atlanta and graduated summa cum laude from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine in 2005. After veterinary school, she completed an internship at the VCA Specialty Center of Seattle, followed by a neurology residency at the University of Pennsylvania. She became a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (Neurology) in 2009 and earned an Advanced Neurosurgery Certificate in 2011.

At the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Jurney discovered a love of teaching and excelled in 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 with a special focus on veterinary neurosurgery, while still enjoying the full scope of neurology care. She is widely regarded as a leader in veterinary neurology and neurosurgery in the San Francisco Bay Area.

She currently resides with her husband and their pets in the beautiful city of San Francisco. Outside the hospital, 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.
