Jeff Peck was my resident advisor throughout my surgical residency. Not only did he push me to be a better surgeon, he was an integral part of my growth as a veterinarian. I wouldn’t be the surgeon I am today without him.

Jeff Peck was my surgery residency program director and an unwavering mentor. He was a hard a$$ – but one with a heart of gold – who pushed me harder than anyone else because he genuinely wanted me to succeed. His high expectations taught me discipline, precision, and resilience, while his quiet support reminded me he believed in my potential. He also inspired me to join the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps, shaping both my surgical career and service.
