Jason Lenhardt
Practice ManagerJason, who is also Dr. Jodi’s husband, has an interesting career history. He graduated from the University of Florida in 1998 with a B.S. in Business Administration and Finance. He worked for Morgan Stanley Dean Witter as a stock broker for a year before deciding that was not the career for him. Then he was given the unique opportunity to work for the University of Florida Tissue Bank where he climbed the ranks and was asked to open a satellite branch of the tissue bank in Los Angeles, CA. When it was time for him and Dr. Jodi to start a family, they decided to move back to the East Coast. It was an easy decision to move to this area where most of Dr. Jodi’s family lives. He then worked for Fresenius Medical Care as the area manager for seven branches of their dialysis treatment centers. With an entrepreneurial spirit, he decided to go to work for himself rehabbing dilapidated homes here in the Raleigh area. He obtained a real estate broker’s license and still enjoys investment real estate. Jason jumped at the chance when Dr. Jodi proposed opening their very own veterinary hospital and has been by her side during the entire process. We feel very fortunate to have him here with us. His real estate construction background helped build our hospital and his previous medical, managerial, and financial experience makes him a well qualified practice manager. He is a huge animal lover too…a must for his position!!
