Dr. Jackie Reed

​Dr. Reed grew up in nearby Carrollton, Illinois and started job shadowing local veterinarians at the age of 12.  She was very determined at a young age to become a veterinarian.  Dr. Reed received her undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Illinois at Springfield in 2006 and her veterinary degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2011.  Since then, she has been employed as both a small animal and mixed animal practitioner in the surrounding communities.  It was a dream come true whenever she had the opportunity to purchase Macoupin Veterinary Clinic from Dr. Sandino in January 2020.  Since the transition, she has enjoyed working along side Dr. Sandino and the remarkable team at Macoupin Veterinary Services as well as meeting our great clients and patients. 
Dr. Reed is passionate about preventative care and has a special interest in internal medicine and soft tissue surgery.  One of her favorite parts of being a veterinarian is seeing patients from puppy and kittenhood through their adult and senior years and getting to know her clients.  She has a soft spot for orange cats and has a crazy yellow Labrador Retriever, Gator, who as a puppy tried to eat everything but the kitchen sink.  His many allergy issues have kept Dr. Reed on her toes with helping clients manage their pet's food and environmental allergies.  Outside of work, Dr. Reed loves being a wife and mother to two wonderful children, and spending time with her family.  She enjoys taking Gator for walks, gardening, hiking, and horseback riding.  Dr. Reed enjoys attending sports events with her husband and cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Blues.
