Our Veterinary Services
Animals are not puzzles to be solved. Rather, they’re fascinating, complex creatures that deserve to be seen, heard, and respected. Every pet who comes to see us is special and is treated as such.
Our team is focused on one goal: improving overall quality of life. We believe that exceptional care requires a laser focus on the individual. It also means never cutting corners and always staying ahead of the technological curve.

Our Doctors
Dr. Jennifer Wartenbee
DVM
Growing up in a logging and farming family in Oregon who raised cattle, pigs, and sheep, it’s no surprise Dr. Wartenbee knew by the age of four that she wanted to be a veterinarian. She followed that dream to Oregon State University, went on to earn her DVM from St. Matthews University in the Cayman Islands, and did her clinical year at Mississippi State.
It was while living in the Caymans that Dr. Wartenbee adopted her dog Bailey, who she found during a rainstorm. She has since added two turtles to her animal family.
When she’s not working, Dr. Wartenbee enjoys gardening, travel, and spending time with her family and friends—especially her son Owen.
Dr. Aksionav
DVM
Dr. Aleksandr (Alex) Aksionav was born and raised in beautiful Vitebsk, Belarus and moved to the U.S. in 2014. His first eight years were spent in Colorado and Utah, and then he and his family decided to swap the mountains for the ocean and headed to sunny Florida.
He received his veterinary degree from Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine in 2012, and obtained his U.S. license after completing the rigorous Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates (ECFVG) examination process. Dr. Aksionav and his wife have a handsome golden retriever named Raphael. They are also currently looking to expand their family by adopting another dog and a cat. In his spare time, Dr. Aksionav enjoys outdoor activities, watching movies, and spending time with his wife and dog.
Dr. Michael Bailey
DVM
Dr. Bailey grew up in the small town of Wauchula, Florida. He received his bachelor’s degree in zoology at Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama. He decided to stay for four more football seasons and is a 1998 graduate of Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine.
He worked in Destin and Orlando, Florida. In 2002, he became owner of Woodland Animal Clinic in DeLand and later added two more veterinary offices—Beachwood Animal Clinic in Woodland Beach and Volusia Woods Animal Clinic in Orange City.
He met his wife Dana while at Auburn, and they have three beautiful children. In his free time he enjoys fishing, waterskiing, hiking, crossfit, coaching his son’s football team, and spending time with his children. He is involved with the community and is a member of the Rotary Club of downtown DeLand.
