Dr. Jennifer Hart grew up in the Bartlett area and continued to reside in Bartlett as an adult.  As a young girl she would bring home a variety of animals and take care of them.  She kept a journal as a young girl, and one teacher wrote "do you want to be an animal doctor?" when she was in grade school.  Yes, she did and her love for all types of animals grew.  Friends and family knew that she would pursue this dream.   She followed her interest and love for animals and graduated from the University of Illinois, College of Veterinary Medicine in 1989.  Dr. Hart completed her dream by opening Heartland Animal Hospital in September of 1993.  She completed her board certification by the ABVP (American Board of Veterinary Practitioners) in 1998, specializing in canine and feline medicine.  Dr. Hart is also a proud mother of two sons.  Their family includes furry children too.  Georgie, Lucy, and Willy are the family cats.  Dexter is a Dachshund mix adopted from a local rescue. Sometimes you can see Dexter hanging around the office. He loves to come to work with his mom. Dexter does play the role of the boss, so we let him think he is!   Dr. Hart enjoys teaching and takes great pride in keeping her staff well trained and the hospital up to date with new technology and services while maintaining compassionate care. Heartland Animal Hospital has been Accredited by AAHA since 1996 and has an A+ BBB rating.
