Dr. David Jourdenais

Dr. David Jourdenais grew up in the 1960s and 70s in Tampa, Florida, where he spent his childhood rehabilitating and releasing injured, orphaned, and abandoned native Florida wildlife—an early start to what would become a lifelong passion for caring for animals. After high school, David moved to Gainesville, Florida, in 1981 to attend the University of Florida as an undergraduate Poultry Science major. Upon graduating Valedictorian from UF’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 1989, Dr. David returned to Central Florida.

Dr. David initially practiced avian and exotic medicine at Winter Park Veterinary Clinic under the tutelage of Dr. Robert Hess. In 1991, he moved to Geneva and opened Geneva Oaks Animal Hospital alongside Dr. Janice Jourdenais, who had been building a farm-call equine and small ruminant veterinary clientele in the area. The hospital expanded in 1995 with the addition of a boarding and grooming facility.

Although Dr. Janice has retired from practicing veterinary medicine, she continues to manage the business operations of Geneva Oaks Animal Hospital. Dr. David currently volunteers his expertise by providing veterinary care for The Orlando Science Center, Seminole County Natural Lands, the Ed Yarborough Nature Center, and the Central Florida Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, where he is a longtime board member.

In his free time, Dr. David enjoys spending time with his two daughters, Gatienne and Veronique, his son, D’Amery, and his English Bulldog, Matilda (aka Mattie), who was adopted from the Pixel Fund, along with his two cats, Minnie and Zahara.

Dr. Janice Jourdenais

Dr. Janice rode horses throughout her middle and high school years showing in the local Hunter shows and was a charter member of the Greater Orlando Hunter Jumper Association. During those happy years, Dr. Janice decided to become a veterinarian with a special interest in horses. After graduating from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine with Honors in 1989, Dr. Janice started out solo with her mobile equine practice. She and Dr. David opened Geneva Oaks Animal Hospital in 1991 where they began their mixed animal practice of horses, dogs, cats, and exotic pets. Practicing veterinary medicine and surgery both on farm calls and in the clinic, meeting the clients and all their special babies ranging from horses, sheep, goats and pigs to dogs and cats was exciting and rewarding for Dr. Janice. Regrettably, she had to retire from active practice, and although she continues to manage the clinic from behind the scenes, she misses her clients and their pets. She takes pride in the high-quality care Dr. David continues to provide and the very kind and loving clients that have trusted the Drs. Jourdenais for so many years. She invites you to come see their hospital in the fresh country air.
