Our Licensed Veterinary Technicians

Our LVTs are a key component to the health and care of your animals. They are qualified professionals in animal handling, diagnostics, treatments, and veterinary procedures. They work as partners with our veterinarians to ensure the utmost care for your pet.  Our skilled technical staff also provides support for dental cleanings, restorations, orthodontics, periodontics, and oral surgeries.

Further, our LVTs also serve as "receptionists," so every time a staff member picks up the phone you know you're speaking with a Licensed Veterinary Technician!
