Our Staff

Veterinary Technicians are involved in almost every aspect of patient care here at Yalesville Veterinary Hospital. They work closely with the doctors to provide your animal with the best care possible. Educated and skilled, the technicians (and technician assistants) medicate the hospitalized patients, obtain blood samples for testing, perform laboratory blood tests in house and prepare samples to go to outside laboratories. They also assist the doctors in surgery, including monitoring anesthesia, performing dental scaling and polishing, preparing medications to go home with patients, taking radiographs (including dental). They also perform other routine care such as nail trims, cleaning ears, anal gland expressions and ear flushes, etc.) Our technicians also are available to answer your questions and report progress to update the doctor. Our dedicated technical staff continually strives to treat your pet with the utmost respect and kindness.
