Dr. Roy Madigan, DVM
Dr. Madigan is a 2001 graduate of the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine. He’s been serving the Spring Branch/Bulverde community for over 9 years now; focusing on small animal companion animals, specifically allergic skin diseases and reproduction. He spends some time each year pursuing his love for marine mammals in various locations around the world. Currently, he is working internationally on a canine and human treatment for chronic Chagas disease. Dr. Madigan loves to scuba dive, cook, and stay active with running.
Dr. Jessica Serafine, DVM
Dr. Serafine was born in Southern California and had a love for animals from a very early age. Seeing news coverage of horses burned from wildfires are what sparked her passion to become a veterinarian. She attended undergrad at California State University, Fresno where she was a member of the Women’s Equestrian Team. After an internship at the 6666’s Ranch in Texas, she attended veterinary school at Ross University, School of Vet Med in the Caribbean. She completed her clinical year at University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana (her grandfather’s alma mater) and started practicing at a mixed animal clinic in rural Texas. A few years into practice, she met the man who would become her husband and moved to South Texas. The two would take trips to the Hill Country and after a few more years of battling the South Texas heat, they finally moved to the Spring Branch area. Dr. Serafine and her husband have 3 dogs; Blue, Trip and Whiskey. For fun, they enjoy going to whiskey and wine tastings, target shooting with bows and guns, cooking and gardening. At work, Dr. Serafine especially enjoys bladder stone removal surgeries and dental procedures.
Dr. Nathaniel Jue , DVM
Dr. Nathaniel Jue is a dedicated veterinarian with a passion for both small animal medicine and reproductive health. He earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, followed by a rotating internship in Florida. He then completed a comparative theriogenology residency at the Virginia–Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, where he deepened his expertise in animal reproduction.
After practicing in California for several years, Dr. Jue relocated to San Antonio in 2018, where he has continued his work as a small animal general practitioner with a special focus on theriogenology. While he enjoys all aspects of veterinary care, he has a special interest in canine reproduction and is always excited to help clients navigate breeding, fertility, and neonatal care.
Dr. Jue is thrilled to be joining the team at the Animal Hospital of Smithson Valley and looks forward to working with the dedicated breeders of the San Antonio area.
Outside of work, Dr. Jue spends most of his free time with his two dogs (Megara and Icarus), two cats (Reinhardt and Yuumi), and keeping up with his three kids.
