• Calm the Chaos - Our goal is to make our patients, our clients, and our entire team’s day better by easing anxieties. From low-stress patient handling to offering compassionate discussions exploring a spectrum of care, we strive to calm the chaos and find peaceful approaches to whatever our schedule has for us each day.
• Enjoy a Healthy Work-Life Balance - We understand that life outside of work matters. Whether you’re seeking full-time, or part-time, we’re committed to creating a schedule that suits your needs. Our only non-negotiable is that you maintain our culture of taking a lunch break and leaving on time!
• No Walk-Ins! - We do not allow walk-in appointments and instead reserve a few Urgent Care appointment spots on our schedule each day. True emergencies are referred to a nearby ER offering overnight care so we can focus on providing calm, compassionate primary care.
• Great staff-to-doctor ratio - Our doctors are greatly outnumbered by our support staff, so our technicians are used to the best of their abilities.
• Collaborative Leadership - We believe participating as part of a helpful team is the most joyful way to practice medicine. From treatment plans to practice improvements, we foster a supportive environment where collaboration is valued.
• Happy Turtles, Not Snappy Turtles! - We end each morning with a brief 15-minute team huddle to check in with the entire staff so we can maintain open communication, foster mutual respect, and focus on shared goals to provide better care—for pets, clients, and each other.
• Exotic pets too! - While we primarily provide care for dogs and cats, our current doctors also see some exotic small mammals and reptile patients – including work with wildlife turtles.
• Mentorship & Growth Opportunities - We welcome CVTs of all experience levels. Whether you’re looking to expand or fine-tune your skills, we offer ongoing education and mentorship to support your career goals.
