Receptionists

Our reception staff is who you get to know the best.  They answer our phones, check appointments in and out, and keep our lobby ready for patients.  They are the first person you talk to when making appointments and the last person you interact with at check out.  We are truly appreciative of everything they do and couldn't do what we do without them!

Rhonda R.

Receptionist

Rhonda has been in the veterinary field for 30 years.  She enjoys educating clients and being able to help their pets.

Ann M.

Receptionist

Ann is one of our receptionists.  She has been with Pet Health Center for about two and a half years.  When asked, she says, the biggest perk to her job is getting to meet all kinds of pets with all kinds of owners.

Techs

Our techs are the backbone of our hospital.  They do everything for your pet from performing their dental cleanings to administering meds to comforting them when they don't feel well.  They are also the ones who keep us clean, stocked and ready to go, so we are prepared for whatever may walk through the door.

Jodi R.

Jodi has been at Pet Health Center for a little over a year.  Before that, she worked for Dr. Sterle in her Muenster location.  Outside of work, Jodi enjoys spending time with her six kids, two grandkids, nine dogs, and three cats.
