Happy National Veterinary Receptionist Week! 🎈🎈

Although you've probably seen Katelin and Hannah greet you at the front desk from time to time, Elizabeth is our full-time receptionist! She's been with us for about a year now & we don't know how we got along without her!

Here are a few things about Elizabeth you may not know:
Elizabeth is a James Madison University alumni who loves to read. She's a huge horse lover and was a skilled rider for 14 years. She also knows firsthand how painful a copperhead's bite is! Elizabeth's birthday is in September and she shares it with Kelsea Ballerini & Sydney Sweeney.

We are extremely fortunate to have Elizabeth on our team and we share our appreciation with all the Veterinary Receptionists out there, this week especially -- Veterinary Medicine couldn't function without you! THANK YOU!! 🐶 😺

11/22/2023

We will be closed this Thursday, November 23rd and Friday, November 24th. We will return to normal business hours on Monday, November 27th.

And please remember- NO TURKEY OR HAM (and other Thanksgiving goodies) for our patients (no matter how cute they are)! We love them too and want to keep them happy and healthy!
