Our Hospital Staff:

Our management team (left to right): Judy, Amy, Bobbie and Deb.

These ladies are the backbone of our hospital and keep us running smoothly and efficiently. They handle and oversee an huge variety of duties ranging from accounting to inventory to regulatory matters. Deb has been here since almost the beginning and besides being a super sweet lady, she is always a wealth of information about animal care and husbandry. Bobbie and Judy have been here for almost thirty years and we'd be lost without them. Their cheerful smiles and friendly dispositions brighten any room they are in. Amy has been a part of this hospital for over twelve years and we couldn't have a more competent member of our team. Bring her a basset hound and she's a happy lady. 

Our certified veterinary technicians: Michelle (left) and Sharon (right)


Both Sharon and Michelle are invaluable additions to our hospital. Since not all veterinary technicians pursue further education and become certified, we are lucky to have two such techs here. To maintain their certification, they must complete continuing education classes yearly to stay updated on various medical practices. Sharon manages our in-house lab facilities and assists our doctors with a variety of procedures. You will typically see her admitting patients in the early morning for procedures. Michelle is our Dental Queen and performs the majority of our dental procedures under the supervision of our veterinarians. She has a mild greyhound obsession. Both ladies also assist our doctors during surgery in a number of ways, such as preparing animals for procedures and monitoring them under anesthesia and post-operatively.


Our receptionists (left to right): Kerri, Ashlee, Martha, and Nikki

Perhaps one of our fabulous receptionists have greeted you in the past? These ladies are the front-runners of our hospital staff. They handle all aspects of client service and care and do so with grace and compassion. Kerri has been with us since 2008 and she is the proud mama to a pair of troublesome grey cats and one cute little spaniel. Ashlee started in the summer of 2007 and we couldn't live without her now! Both are very competent and caring members of our front desk team. Martha joined us in 2009 and her sunny, friendly dispositions is just one of many reasons she is such an incredible asset to our hospital. Nikki is a recent addition in 2011 and she is going to school to be a certified veterinary technician. She recently bought a house and we are thrilled to have her here with us!
 

Our veterinary technicians (left to right): Laura, Sharon, Lisa, Alyssa, Lauren and Sherry 

Our fine technicians handle many jobs including treating patients, managing our in-house lab facilities and assisting doctors with a variety of procedures. They do it all! And they always do it with a smile. We depend on their competance and expertise on a daily basis. You might not always see these ladies when you come in, but you can be assured they are taking top-notch care of your pets. Laura has two rambunctious black labs that frequently give her a run for her money. We prize Lauren as as our insider connection to Twin Lanterns and ice cream. She also handles a lot of our lab work now. Lisa is currently pursuing her interest in the human medicine field, which provides us with an unique comparisson. Sharon is a bit of a chicken fanatic, but she also has a small herd of llamas at home. Alyssa is our resident cat whisperer and large animal technician. You may see her on the road with our large animal doctors. She also handles most of our patient discharges as she enjoys working one-on-one with both patients and clients. Sherry is our newest tech and already a huge asset to our team. She does agility with her beagle in her spare time.

Our kennel staff and veterinary assistants (left to right): Danielle and Wyatt
 

Danielle, of course, is the backbone of our animal care staff. She is the one taking care of all your pets while they stay with us. She makes sure everyone has clean, comfortable beds, fresh food and water and does a lot of our grooming. She has a special love for boxers, as she has a couple herself. Wyatt is currently in training to help with technician duties and working in our lab. You may see him helping our doctors with appointments.

Our Hospital Cat - Chip! 

Chip is our resident hospital cat. He came to us as a stray and he was so handsome, we just had to keep him! His favorite hobbies include sleeping in baskets, knocking pens off desks and sneaking a taste of cream cheese. He has become quite a fixture in our back office where he sleeps most of the day in his basket. You can occasionally find him watching the outside world go by from our sidedoor. He doesn't like dogs much, but luckily he is smart enough to stay out of their way!

Our computer/business consultant: Bart

Most clients will never get to meet our Bart, who is the brother of our dear Mrs. Marston! He's always out back in the office, working tirelessly so our business stays on track.
