Dr. Jackson Gardiner

Job Title: Associate Veterinarian
Time at ACD: Since 2023

About Me: I was born and raised in Vernal, Utah, where I grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds and always knew I wanted to be a veterinarian. I began my academic journey at SUU and completed veterinary school in May of 2025 through the WIMU Regional Program at USU and WSU. My passion lies in providing lifelong, comprehensive care for my clients and their pets through every stage of life. I deeply value client communication and strive to tailor medical care and treatment plans to best meet the unique needs of each pet and their family. Building strong relationships with pet owners is incredibly important to me, and I look forward to being a trusted partner in their pets’ health for years to come.

Fun Fact/Hobby: Outside of veterinary medicine, I enjoy being outdoors, staying active, working out, playing pickleball, cooking, and getting lost in a good book. I’m excited to move back to Utah and begin building lifelong relationships in the community I love. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I’m looking forward to adopting a furry companion to care for and share my free time with.
