Your Chattanooga + Ooltewah Veterinary surgeon
Wellspring Veterinary Care
Our Practice
Wellspring Veterinary Care is Chattanooga’s only privately owned veterinary specialty practice and we believe this key detail is at the heart of what makes us different. Founded by board-certified surgeon, Dr. Leeman-Goepp understands the value of the foundational principles of veterinary medicine that are becoming harder to find in the industry today.
Our top priority is providing excellent surgical expertise and patient care. Dr. Leeman-Goepp is a seasoned surgeon with significant experience in both orthopedics and soft tissue procedures. In addition to her strong surgical skills, she has an affinity for case management outside the surgical suite and remains very involved with her patient's care throughout recovery. She believes continuity of care is equally important as the procedure itself.
Wellspring Veterinary Care values building relationships through thoughtful communication with the referring veterinary community and clients. We know that when all parties are involved in the decision-making process and it is clearly communicated, it is proven that patients stay safer and have better outcomes. We also provide timely follow up conversations that allow for additional opportunities for questions and peace of mind. It is our pleasure to be you every step of the way and it is our goal to make you feel like family.
Dr. Leeman-Goepp originally founded Wellspring Veterinary Care as a mobile practice in the beginning of 2024. Within a few months, an opportunity presented itself to allow for the brick and mortar location where we are currently located. Our current location is temporary and we are actively seeking real estate to allow for growth into other services and amenities. If you happen to be curious about our business name, it is biblically derived from Proverbs 4:23, which encourages you to "guard your heart above all else, for it is the wellspring of life."
We accept self-referrals and referrals from primary veterinarians.

Jessica J.
Leeman-Goepp
OUR SURGEON
Jessica J. Leeman-Goepp DVM DACVS-SA was born and raised in Florida. Originally a political science major at Florida Atlantic University aiming to join the CIA, she quickly fell in love with sick puppies at her part-time job at a puppy store and switched her major to become a veterinarian.
She attended the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine and graduated in 2011. During her time at UF, she excelled in anatomy and surgery and it became clear she was to pursue the specialty.
Jessica completed a rotating internship at Louisiana State University in 2012 and started a surgery internship at Seattle Veterinary Specialists the same year. Jessica completed six months of her surgery internship before she was asked to start the residency program at SVS, which she developed and completed in 2016. She became a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons in 2017.
Jessica met her husband, Collin, during her time in Seattle and gave birth to Levi ('15) and Caleb ('17). In 2019, Jessica and her family moved to Chattanooga to raise their family. Jessica practiced at corporately owned Animal Emergency and Specialty Center of Chattanooga for almost 4 years and gave birth to their third son Noah ('21) during this time.
Following employment at AESC, Jessica was forced to practice surgery outside of a 45 mile non-complete radius for 2 years. While this served multiple challenges while raising a young family, the time was highlighted by working at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, providing relief veterinary services to many hospitals in the Chattanooga area, teaching yoga at a local studio, spending more time with her boys, and founding Wellspring Veterinary Care.
Outside of her passion for veterinary surgery, Jessica loves the outdoors, exercising, cooking and teaching herself the piano.
