Rita, Office Manager

Veterinary medical practice has been a part of my life for a lot of years. As the wife of a veterinarian, I have been involved in the practice, performing a variety of jobs.

Over the years, we've had a lot of pets: cats, dogs, birds, fish, hamsters, bunnies; and I'm pretty sure all of these species lived under our roof at the same time, along with four children. We were one big, furry, feathery, happy family.

Wilmary, Certified Veterinary Technician

Years of experience: 5+ years

Born and raised in Puerto Rico, I moved to the US in 2015, and changed careers from computer science to veterinary medicine. While living in Pennsylvania I worked as an Animal Care Technician for 2 years, working and caring for dogs, cats, birds, small exotics, reptiles, and fish. I also volunteered at a privately owned rescue where I specifically learned about feline pets and their behaviors; I fell in love with a kitten that I adopted and is my cat, Kana. In 2017, I moved to FL where I started working as a Veterinary Technician Assistant and gradually became a Veterinary Technician. I attended the SPC Veterinary Technology program from 2019-2021. After graduation, I passed the VTNE, I am currently a Certified Veterinary Technician/Nurse. Aside from my cat Kana, I have two dogs (Bagel and Bandit) that I adopted in 2020 while I in college. When not at work or studying, I enjoy road trips, sightseeing, walking trails, visiting friends & family, dancing, and doing pilates/yoga.

Alex, Receptionist/Vet Tech Assistant

Years of experience: 3+ years

I am a very sweet person who loves all types of animals. I grew up with 2 dogs: a boxer and a bullmastiff. When they both passed away from old age, we got a cat who is currently 10 yrs old. Six years ago, I got a baby ball python. She is the greatest. I am very excited to work with animals and for a veterinarian with such an outstanding reputation.

Ann, Front Desk Receptionist

Born and raised in Lexington, KY, my family and I moved here in 1989. Florida has always been my home considering I spent my summer vacations in New Smyrna Beach every year growing up. I spent over 15 years as a dispatcher for the Brevard Co. Sheriff's Office, but my passion has always been working with animals--from riding horses to just cuddling with my family pets. The lover for animals has always driven me to want to help and care for them; the opportunity to do so here is one that I am grateful to have the privilege to experience. Our patients are your family and deserve the absolute best care--to have a part in that truly fulfills me. I couldn't be happier to assist in this process, so thank you for the opportunity.

Years of experience: >1 year

I'm the newest addition to the clinic roster and still learning the ropes. I'm a little shy around new people and their pets, so you may spot me just hanging out in the office doing computer work.
