Cheryl, who has been with the practice August 1983, works part-time as a Surgical Technician. She is also a trained phlebotomist in the human medical field.
Nancy is a full-time Exam Room Technician. When she began working at LAHC in 1983, she rotated through the various positions as Treatment and Laboratory Technician as well, but now prefers to focus her abilites, knowledge and outgoing personality on just one key area. Nan escorts clients and pets into rooms, takes a preliminary medical history, prepares prescriptions for the doctor, and discusses special instructions with the owners. Basically, she performs duties similar to a human outpatient nurse. Nan is a cornerstone of our staff.

Reception
Reception Department

Our Receptionist Team:
Diane, Robbilynn, Patti, Brian, Amy, Amanda and Katie are the first people you see when you walk in the door, and the last people you see on the way out! They schedule your appointments, input your information into the computer, take your messages for the doctors, and provide overall essential front office communications to assure the smooth flow of appointments and help meet the needs of our clients' busy schedules.
Without our reception department, the "wheels" of our practice would grind to a halt! |
