Our Veterinarians

Dr. Scott Jandron is the owner of Northern Veterinary Associates. He was born in Ishpeming, one of the “Bell Babies”, and was raised in Negaunee. He has lived most of his life in what we like to call “God’s Country”. With access to all the wildlife in the Upper Peninsula, he knew at a young age that veterinary medicine was the only choice for him. 

Dr. Jandron began his journey to become a veterinarian at Northern Michigan University where he obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology/Chemistry. He later obtained his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine at Michigan State University. 

As a veterinarian in a small town, Dr. Jandron greatly values the relationships he has built with the patients and clients he has served over a period of more than 33 years. Aside from the dog and cat patients that take up the majority of his time, he has has a keen interest in reptile and pocket pet medicine. He has owned many reptile pets such as Snakes, Bearded Dragons, Chameleons, and Green Iguanas,. He enjoys the variety that general medicine and surgery have to offer, and he continues to pursue learning new techniques and expanding what he can offer as a companion animal veterinarian.  

Dr. Jandron enjoys giving back to the community, especially when it comes to students of all levels. Since 2002, he has coordinated a successful internship and mentoring program with local high schools and Northern Michigan University. He also offers field trips at the clinic for area preschool and elementary children, so they can see what it is like to work in a veterinary clinic. 

Dr. Jandron spends his free time traveling with his wife, Diane, and attending pro and college sporting events with his son Matt.  Also keeping him busy at home are his dog Merle and a grand-dog Barnabas.

Dr. Dawn Sheffield has been a valuable part of our team at NVA as an Associate Veterinarian since 2006. She had already practiced at previous veterinary clinics, having graduated from The Ohio State University in 1995. She has always had an eclectic interest in many areas of companion animal medicine, having expanded her knowledge into exotic animal medicine, including reptiles, birds, and pocket pets. 

She has taken on a new interest as the Attending Veterinarian for the IACUC Committee at Northern Michigan University. This has exposed her to new friends and colleagues, and has expanded her professional viewpoint. In the past she has also given back to our community with involvement in Rotary, having attained the distinction of Paul Harris Fellow, and has mentored many young people in our veterinary profession.

Dr. Sheffield spends most of her free time with her family, which includes her husband, daughter, extended family, their Standard Poodle, and their three cats. They all enjoy working at community events, such as an annual Thanksgiving Dinner for our local residents, snowshoeing, kayaking, and working on improvements on their property.

Growing up in Iron Mountain, Dr. Sarah Bogaudo is another one of our veterinarians with roots in the Upper Peninsula. Her love for nature and the outdoors is rooted in her upbringing, and she finds happiness in the natural beauty that the UP has to offer.

Dr. Bogaudo is a dedicated veterinarian with a deep passion for animal welfare. A proud graduate of Ross University of Veterinary Medicine, she immediately took the opportunity to move back to the beautiful Upper Peninsula to continue her career in companion animal medicine.   

   
Dr. Bogaudo spends her free time with her family and two dogs, Harlow and Bea, enjoying all the activities that our area has to offer. Lake Superior is her all time favorite place to be.
