So much goes on beside the scenes

So you have sat in the waiting room, been in a room, sometimes complaining about the wait, and perhaps you have been in the treatment area once or twice, but let me tell you there are a lot of things going on at Animal Medical Center all the time. Bathing, treatments, surgery, dentistry, emergencies and a full house of hospitalized patients.


Have you ever wondered where the doctor is while you are waiting for results?
Treating hospitalized patients or doing a surgical procedure or he may be handling an emergency that was rushed into the treatment area. He may also be calling a client to discuss their pets test results. 

And there are so many other little things that keep the hospital running at peak performance.
We average 6 to 12 loads of laundry a day, mostly towels and there is always scrubbing, mopping, sweeping up hair, dusting, cleaning up exam rooms and plenty of trash. We overload 3 forty gallon garbage bins a day.

There are always prescriptions to be filled and supplies to be ordered and unpacked. We average 20 boxes of medical supplies a week via UPS.

There are always dogs to be held...

Surgical equipment to be cleaned and sterilized  and always dogs to be walked and bathes!


On average there are two receptinists, five nurses and two doctors at Animal Medical Center to take care of our patients. Trust me when I say this is a busy place!!!
