As our certified technician, you’ll have your own appointments and the opportunity to use as many of your skills as Pennsylvania law allows.

Busy — but not chaotic. We’re a busy practice, but we don't believe busy has to mean miserable. We don't double-book. Doctor appointments are at least 30 minutes long. We take the time to be thorough. Our days are full and go quickly, but you won't spend your shift feeling like you're constantly trying to dig yourself out of a hole or that your head is spinning. Instead, you'll have the opportunity to truly get to know your patients and clients. Over time, you'll know which cat needs an extra five minutes to feel comfortable, which dog gets nervous in the treatment area, and which client needs a little extra education and reassurance. Those relationships are a big part of why we love what we do. And then there's the team. We really like each other. We support each other, laugh together, and have a good time at work. We even have a weekly home-cooked lunch made by our own clinic grandma, where we sit down together, eat, and crack jokes about whatever TV show we're currently binge-watching. Because we believe a good workplace should be a place you actually want to spend time in.
