You’ll also communicate treatment plans and instructions to clients and work closely with the veterinary team to provide a smooth patient experience.

On the reception side, you’ll greet clients, answer phones, schedule appointments, assist with check-in and check-out, process payments, and help address client questions. You’ll serve as an important connection between our clients and veterinary team, helping ensure communication is clear, compassionate, and professional.
