Some Things About HPVC That Make Your Job Great:  

No double booked appointments. Doctor appointments are 30 minutes, certified technicians have their own appointments and assistant. We are independently owned by the veterinarian who works side by side with us and cares about each of us as much as she cares about her patients.  Our daily huddles help us communicate and plan how to make the day run smoothly and ensure that our patients get the care we need and we each have the support we need as well. Our monthly meetings are collaborative discussion sessions where we work together to see what we’ve done well and how we can continue to do better.
