Support Staff
Our practice is supported by a dedicated staff that assists the veterinarians in providing veterinary care and in assisting clients with information. Our practice manager oversees operations, while the registered veterinary technicians perform diagnostic and medical procedures to help your exotic pets. Our veterinary assistants care for animals, help clean facilities and equipment, and otherwise help the practice run well, while the receptionists greet you, help schedule your appointments, and check you out so you can continue on with the rest of your day. We thank you for the opportunity to care for your exotic pets.
