Some Things About HPVC That Make Your Job Great:
No double booked appointments. Doctor appointments are 30 minutes, certified technicians have their own 20 minute vaccination appointments and 30 minute laser therapy appointments and we have scheduled time during the day to do the extra things. 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 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.
We love the things that make us different (there are lots of those!). Some of the things that make us different are: our ability to understand cats and how to make them love us and feel better, our love of grey muzzles and whiskers - many of our senior pets see us monthly and become family, our passion that a healthy mouth means a better life, our dedication to always offer clients the best available for their pets and then be willing to adapt that plan to make it what is best for that client and pet's current situation.
Are you ready to be utilized, empowered, and know that every day you make a difference in this world through better care for patients, clients and your teammates? If so, apply now so that we can get to know you!
