Our Doctors

Dr. Jean Otte – Greetings/Aloha! I'm Dr. Jean Otte. I own Willowdale Veterinary Center and practice small animal medicine here. I love my job so I'm here most of the time! I enjoy riding and showing my paint horses, baseball (I sponsor the Jacksonville Indians) and my two almost grown sons (1 Seminole and 1 Gator). I grew up on a farm in Iowa and have veterinary experience with racing Greyhound dogs and racing Thoroughbred horses. Stop in! I'd love to meet you!

Dr. Linda O’Donnell – Dr. O'Donnell founded the Willowdale Veterinary Center in 1988, naming the practice after her hometown in Ontario, Canada. In 2001, she sold the business to Dr. Otte so that she and her husband Bob, a retired Jacksonville Sheriff Officer, could have time to build their own house. Dr. O' Donnell continues to serve her patients as a veterinarian and enjoys gardening and cooking in her spare time.

Dr. Nicole Spicer – Dr. Nicole Spicer is a Florida native and became a member of the Willowdale Veterinary Center family in 2005. She completed her bachelor's degree in animal science at the University of Florida and graduated from the University Of Florida College Of Veterinary Medicine in 2003. Go Gators! Her professional interests include medicine and dermatology, with a particular interest in feline medicine. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling with her husband Robert, especially in the Caribbean, scuba diving and photography.
