This week is designated as a special time to celebrate our veterinary client service team members to honor the invaluable commitment they show our hospital and patients daily. 🐱♥🐶

A hard-working, loyal, and compassionate veterinary receptionist can play a big part in why pet owners return year after year (and sometimes pet after pet)!

is coming to an end, BUT we will also show appreciation for our wonderful Patient Care Coordinators! 💚🐾

To celebrate , we want to highlight our amazing Patient Care Coordinators.

🐾Today meet Victoria!🤩💚

Victoria is our Patient Care Coordinator Supervisor (and chaos coordinator!) She has been in Veterinary Medicine for over 15 years and has spent 4 years with CVNI.

Some days are chaotic, some are heartwarming and most are a little bit of both. It’s a balance of compassion, patience, and problem-solving. I genuinely enjoy being part of a team that helps save animals’ lives. The trust we build with our patients and their pet parents is really special. The joy we get to be a part of every day, and those little moments when someone says, “Thank you, you’ve really helped,”—that’s what makes it worth it.

One of the best perks of the job? Being surrounded by adorable animals all day. At this point, my phone is 98% pet photos—no regrets—and I try to snap their goofy grins, majestic toe beans, and snuggly faces whenever I can slip away from the desk. Those furry memories are constant reminders of why I love this wild and wonderful job.

When I’m not at work, you can usually find me spoiling my own pets with endless treats, belly rubs, and of course letting them claim the best spots on the couch. My dynamic dog duo—Junebug & Silas—who are all sass, endless zoomies, 100% heart, and think they’re the real bosses of the house. My six cat crew—Kristoff, Potion, Polly, Ziggy, Stardust & Yoda—who provide endless entertainment, questionable life choices, and a serious amount of cat fur…they run the house. I run the vacuum.

My pets are my love, my comfort, and daily reminder to slow down and appreciate the simple things...even when that comes with some judgmental side-eye or the occasional surprise hairball. They give me emotional support and zero personal space 🐾

When I can sneak out of the house, I’m all about live concerts, cheering on the Orioles, and soaking in that stadium magic. I’m definitely a proud foodie too. I enjoy weekend Costco runs with my husband, checking out food festivals, trying new restaurants, trying new recipes…or accidentally ruining them and ordering takeout instead.

Join us in showing this vital team member how much they are appreciated! 🐾💚

🐾 Today meet Jackie! 🤩💚

Hi! My name is Jacklyn, though most people call me Jackie. I’m a Patient Care Coordinator at Compass Veterinary Neurology & Imaging. With a decade of experience in veterinary medicine and seven months here at CVNI, I’ve learned how to navigate the delicate balance between empathy and the daily whirlwind of clinic life. I strive to be a calm, compassionate advocate for both pets and their humans—especially when things get tough.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me journaling, discovering new music, or diving into horror movies. When I need an emotional reset, I escape to my Animal Crossing island and pretend it’s my actual home. I enjoy exploring new nature trails with my dog, Liz, going for swims, checking out music festivals, and spending quality time with my boyfriend, Andrew. Whether I’m outdoors or just vibing at home, I’m all about blending creativity, curiosity, and connection—and finding the right playlist for every moment.

🐾Today meet Liz🤩💚

Hi! My name is Elizabeth, otherwise known as Liz and I am a Patient Care Coordinator with Compass Veterinary Neurology and Imaging. I have been in veterinary medicine for the past 8 years and have spent 1.5 years with CVNI.

My favorite part of my job is witnessing miracles. Each and every day I am able to help patients and their owners leave doing better than before they came in.

If I am not working, I am spending time with my daughter and/or going to the beach. Bring on warmer weather! ☀️

Meet Vander! 🐾💚

Vander is a Labrador Retriever in training to be a service dog. He presented to CVNI in October 2024 after he ran head first into a sliding glass door. Dr Archambault first evaluated Vander at 5 months old when he was brought to the ER department and transferred to CVNI the following day.

A CT was performed and showed that Vander had a C2 vertebral fracture causing severe spinal luxation and spinal cord compression. Amazingly, Vander was still able to walk but was in excruciating pain. Dr. Archambault recommended surgery for the best chance of recovery. Dr. Archambault performed spinal fusion using multiple screws and PMMA as seen in the photos

With many weeks of rest, recovery, and medications Vander came back to recheck radiographs. Everything has healed up perfectly, and Vander has resumed his service dog training as well as running around like a puppy again! 🐾💚
