Wildwood Animal Hospital
No DescriptionPaul Haughom, DVM 
Dr. Paul Haughom (owner) has been practicing at Wildwood Animal Hospital since 1985.  He graduated from Oregon State University School of Veterinary Medicine in 1983.  He was part of the very first class that graduated from the veterinary school.  Prior to entering Veterinary School, Paul had earned a Bachelor of Science Degree and Masters Degree at Oregon State University (Go Beavers!).  After graduation he spent two years practicing in Hawaii before buying Wildwood Animal Hospital.  While in Hawaii, Dr. Haughom successfully treated many cases of heartworm disease in dogs (a very common problem on the islands). 
Dr. Haughom has  spent the last 22 years establishing a state of the art, high quality pet care facility at Wildwood Animal Hospital.  After 22 years of experience Paul continues to enjoy practice.  He recently oversaw the major remodel and expansion of the hospital facility in 2004.  The new building is 4 times larger than the old hospital.
In addition to enjoying veterinary medicine, Dr. Haughom plays golf whenever his schedule allows.  In 2002 he had the opportunity to spend 2 weeks golfing in Scotland.  Paul and his wife, Rhonda, have one dog (Molly) and 3 cats (Java, BJ and Gracie). 












No DescriptionElissa Jonas, DVM 
Dr. Jonas grew up in Michigan, finished her undergraduate degree in Chemistry at the University of Michigan and attended veterinary school at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.  She originally came to Oregon on a student rotation and decided to locate here upon graduation because of the incomparable natural beauty and the vibrant culture here in the Portland area.
Dr. Jonas has a special interest in Senior Pet health and feline medicine (even those kitties that are usually cranky in the hospital!).  Elissa shares her household with a 10 and 13 year old cat, Uncle Mike and Hopper as well as her one year old rambuncious terrier Claire that she rescued and treated successfully for Parvo virus (yes those puppy shots are important!).  When she is not working diligently at Wildwood, Elissa, enjoys hiking, cooking, working on her fixer-upper and, of course, entertaining Claire.  Many of you have already met Elissa as she has been filling in for Dr. Haughom for several years.  She is excited to be at Wildwood on a more regular basis.
