What we require of our veterinarians is not that complicated. We trust that any PA-licensed veterinarian that graduated from an accredited institution knows what to do and loves what they do.

1. Caring, energetic, and offers client-oriented and patient-centered care

2. Excellent communication both oral and written—maintains accurate and detailed medical records

3. Profound sense of humor
