Jorge has been a dedicated member of the Addison Animal Hospital team as a veterinary technician since 2007. His passion for animal care began in 1992 when he started working in the veterinary field at the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago. He later continued expanding his experience at Blum Animal Hospital, also in Chicago, where he spent 10 years providing compassionate care to animals and their families.

With decades of experience in veterinary medicine, Jorge brings extensive knowledge, skill, and a genuine love for helping animals. He is fluent in both English and Spanish, allowing him to connect with and support a diverse range of clients and their pets.

Outside of the hospital, Jorge enjoys spending time with his wife, Trisha, whom he married in August 2016, and their two daughters. Life at home is always busy with his children and his canine companions, Jasmine and Julian, along with their chickens Daisy and Peach. A true lover of nature and wildlife, Jorge enjoys spending time outdoors, including visiting the dog park, fishing, and camping. His compassion extends beyond household pets—over the years, he has helped rescue and provide care for many wildlife animals, including squirrels, geese, snakes, rabbits, frogs, and owls, by bringing them to wildlife rehabilitation centers.
