Jaime E. Sage, DVM, MS, DACVR  is the owner of MRI Vets, which was founded by Pat Gavin in 2001. She received her veterinary training at Texas A&M, and completed her residency at Ohio State. Formerly with VDIC and IDEXX laboratories from 2005 to 2014, she has specialized in MRI. Dr. Sage has spent the past ten years working to advance the state of the art in veterinary MRI, by partnering with MD radiologists in clinical and research practice. Believing that specialization in MRI will lead to improved patient care outcomes, she currently trains MRI students in a two-week course, and a one-year fellowship format. Dr. Sage resides in Georgetown, Texas, with too many animals to count. ​​
