Meet Our Team

Dr. Jimmy grew up in Quincy, Illinois, where his lifelong love of animals began. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Science while playing collegiate football at Western Illinois University, then went on to receive his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Illinois in 2019.

During veterinary school, Dr. Jimmy met his wife, Morgan, who convinced him to make the move to California. He practiced veterinary medicine in Monterey County for six years, where he encountered a wide range of medical and surgical challenges. These experiences helped accelerate his clinical growth and strengthened his ability to provide thoughtful, well-rounded care in both routine and complex cases.

Dr. Jimmy has a strong interest in preventive care, soft tissue surgery, internal medicine, and helping pets maintain a high quality of life through every stage of life. He is passionate about building trusting relationships with clients and believes that clear communication and compassion are essential to providing the best possible care for patients.

Now relocating to Contra Costa County to be closer to family, Dr. Jimmy is excited to become part of a new community and to form lasting relationships with clients and their pets. Outside of the clinic, he enjoys hiking, camping, and spending time outdoors with Morgan, along with their dogs, Felix and Walter, and their cats, Flea, Farley, and Sid.

Meet Dr. Hani M. Korani: Your Partner in Surgical Excellence
Hani M. Korani, DVM, DACVS-SA
Dr. Hani M. Korani is a board-certified small animal surgeon (Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons – Small Animal) dedicated to providing advanced surgical care with a collaborative and compassionate approach.
Through his mobile practice, H&M VetSurg, Dr. Korani brings the expertise and capabilities of a specialty surgical center directly to your trusted family veterinary practice here in the Bay Area. His mission is simple: to make specialist-level surgery accessible, less stressful for patients, and more integrated for primary care veterinarians, ensuring a seamless circle of care for every animal.

The Journey to Surgical Specialization
Dr. Korani’s path to becoming a surgical specialist was driven by a passion for the intricate mechanics of the body and the profound impact that skilled surgery can have on an animal’s quality of life.
He earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from the School of Veterinary Medicine at Cairo University, Egypt. Following graduation, he completed a demanding one-year rotating internship in medicine and surgery at Tuskegee University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, where he gained broad experience in all facets of veterinary care.

With a clear focus on surgery, Dr. Korani was then selected for a rigorous three-year surgical residency at the North Carolina State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital (NCSU VTH). This intensive program provided him with advanced training in orthopedic, soft tissue, neurologic, and oncologic surgery under the mentorship of world-renowned specialists.
Upon completion of his residency, Dr. Korani successfully passed the rigorous examination to become a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (DACVS). This board certification represents the highest level of specialization in the field, a distinction held by only a small percentage of veterinarians. After working in large specialty hospitals, he founded H&M VetSurg to bring that same level of care to a more personal, collaborative setting.
