Dr. Janelle Gottuso, DVM
Practice Owner
I am both the owner and head DVM of Brimfield Veterinary Services. I grew up in Hermitage, PA, and have been practicing veterinary medicine for over 8 years and went to undergrad at Penn State University, studying Animal Medical Science in 2010, graduated with honors from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2014, and performed my clinical rotation at Oklahoma State University. I am very passionate about preventative medicine, pain management, and dentistry. I also thoroughly enjoy any soft tissue surgeries.
I live in Tallmadge, OH, with my husband, David Ede, who was born and raised in Tallmadge, OH. We have 3 young children, Elijah, Desmond, and Isadora, and 2 dogs and 2 cats.
It has always been a dream of mine to own my own practice and to provide high-quality pet care to the surrounding areas. I used to commute 45 minutes to work, and now I live less than 10 minutes away. I also go by a few different names, Dr. Janelle, Dr. Gottuso, and Dr. G.
