Technicians
These are three women that we (and your pet) can’t do without – Barbara (middle), our Senior Technician, Angie (left) and Erica (right) our Technicians and Caretakers. All excel at giving loving, compassionate care to all our patients.
Barbara
Barbara, our Head Technician, has made the most of her Animal Science degree and has been with us since 1992. Her vast experience in animal care plus her cool level head in emergency situations have made her an extremely valuable asset to our clinic. She cherishes every memory of having watched so many of our puppies and kittens grow into healthy adults. Her legacy continues since now her lovely daughter works with us too! They share their home with 2 dogs, 2 cats.
Angie
Angie has been part of our team since 2001. Her Veterinary Technician education (acquired from Aiken Tech) combined with her bubbly personality, makes her a joy to be around for staff, clients and pets alike. Nothing seems to frazzle her too much and she treats all animals as if they were her own. She shares her home with 3 dogs and 1 cat. |

Erica
Erica began her career with us in 2000 while still in high school as one of our Kennel caretakers. She remained with us while attending college and is now here to stay!

Hooray for Tiffany! She supervises our receptionists and keeps our busy clinic running smoothly. She’s a native Aikenite (can you believe it?) – born, raised and schooled at Aiken High and Aiken Tech. She worked 7 years at the DMV (and still kept her sanity) before joining Veterinary Services in November 2001. She’s a “dog” person with three of her own, loves Myrtle Beach and NASCAR (ask her about Tony Stewart).

Receptionists
What would we do without these ladies?
They are the very first people you see when you step in our clinic or the ones helping you on the phone. They go out of their way to be friendly, polite and courteous while juggling appointments,
registering or discharging patients, entering information into the computer, filing, answering heavy phones, maintaining a knowledgeable base of pet care and of course
making sure that all patients receive a cuddle and scratch behind the ears.
