Our team only consists of caring, compassionate people who are dedicated to our patients’ wellbeing, and our clients’ peace of mind.
Our Veterinarian | Dr. Cynthia Jones
Dr. Cynthia Jones purchased Compassionate Animal Care from Dr. Lora Schelle in the summer of 2025 when Dr. Schelle moved out of state. Dr. Jones has been a veterinarian since November 2015; before that she was a vet tech/vet assistant for five years. Dr. Jones started her veterinary career working in the north valley in small animal practices before she started her own mobile veterinary business, which she ran for a year before buying Compassionate Animal Care in Queen Creek. Professionally, she has a special interest in dermatology and animal behavior.
Dr. Jones went to school at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, with her clinical year spent at Kansas State University, which is where she had previously earned her Bachelor’s degree in Biology. Between high school and vet school she worked and volunteered for Operation Wildlife in Kansas, as well as working for a vet clinic while taking classes at Kansas City Kansas Community Collage, and later K State.
Dr. Jones grew up an Army brat and moved around a lot, but she spent her middle school and high school years in Kansas. She moved to the desert southwest after finishing vet school (she had previously lived in El Paso and loves the desert and mountains.)
When she’s not working, Dr. Jones’ hobbies include puzzles, kayaking, and hiking. Although as a mom to a toddler and a cat, as well as running her own veterinary clinic, spare time is hard to come by!
Dr. Jones is pictured with her pup Puddin, who is dearly missed.
Why Did Dr. Jones Buy Compassionate Animal Care?
” I wanted to offer a wider range of services than I was able to offer in home as a mobile veterinarian, and I wanted the opportunity to work with more families. I’m excited to meet you all, and your furbabies! “
