Customer Service Representatives

 

Meet CSR Chris!

Meet CSR, Chris!

Why vetmed?
I adopted my first dog, Cindy, when I was 12.  She had heartworm disease.  I only had her for 9 months but tried to make the short time we had as good as it could be.  After that experience I knew I wanted to work with animals.  

Favorite part of the job?
Being able to see animals every day at work. I’ve only worked at a non-vet job for 10 months of my life and hated it! 

Pets?
Tutu, a chubby, loveable pitbull, Evil, a German Shepherd, Pennywise, a naked cockatiel and my backyard chickens and ducks 

Fun fact:
I love to bake but hate to cook.

Meet LVT, Paula!

Favorite part of the job?
Behind the scenes cuddles with pets.

Fun fact:
I cry when i see dashchunds because they are too cute to handle!

Meet VA Clara!

Meet VA, Clara!

Why vetmed?
I like taking care of animals and wanted a job that felt rewarding to me.

Favorite part of the job?
Sending love and positive energy to my patients. Another favorite part of the job is that I’m always able to learn new things

Fun fact:
Giardia is a single-celled protozoan organism.


Meet VA Damaris!

Meet VA, Damaris!

Why vetmed?
I love working in the field where I can be part of healing, helping, and caring for man's best friend. One of my goals in life is obtaining the knowledge to ensure the health and well being of not just cats and dogs but all animals of this planet.

Favorite part of the job?
A tough question for me to answer, but I think it would be seeing a patient who was previously sick or injured coming back for a recheck and seeing them completely healed. Tail wagging or headbutting purs

Pets?
Pucca 15yr, Coco 13yr, and Erebus 4yrs

Fun fact:
I truly believe that dragons existed long long ago and if they were to be cloned I would get one and name him Lord Aragorn


Meet VA Melissa!

Meet VA, Melissa!

Why vetmed?
What started as an after-school job at a veterinary clinic turned into a lifelong passion—and 19 years later, I’m still loving every minute of it!

Favorite part of the job?
My favorite part of my job is being able to combine animal care with client care/education and being able to fuse the two together. I have a minor in early childhood education so I feel lucky to fulfill both passions in one.

Pets?
After years of being a dog person, I’ve now fully embraced cat life with my two fabulous felines, Wolf and Willow, who make coming home the best part of any day.

Fun fact:
Born and raised in New York, I’ve always had a soft spot for animals (and a serious case of wanderlust). When I’m not in scrubs, you’ll find me planning my next adventure, trying something new, or cuddling with my tiny home zoo.
