Lesley greets you with a smile each time you visit with your pet or call. She performs many valuable tasks in our office in addition to answering your questions and keeps our office functioning well. She handles the scheduling of appointments and assists the doctors with the care of your pets while staying at our hospital. Most importantly, she keeps our office running smoothly. Her compassion for animals is amazing and she genuinely cares about your pets. She shares her home with her dogs Molly and her Boxer Bender. We are fortunate to have Lesley at the helm of our practice.

JoDawn assists the doctors with treatment of patients in the hospital and helps Lesley at the front desk to answer your phone calls along with scheduling appointments. She is wonderful with the pets and loves to get to know your fur babies. This photo features JoDawn with Duke, one of her many favorite patients.
