🍂 A Little Creekside Spirit Week Fun! 🐾

We had a little extra fun around Creekside Animal Clinic this week with our annual spirit week! From stepping back in time for Decade Day, doubling up for Twin Day, showing off our wild side by dressing as our favorite animals, and bringing out the fall fits and festive costumes for Spirit Day, our team certainly showed up with plenty of creativity and personality!

We hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween weekend! And a friendly reminder from your friends at Creekside, keep the candy bowls out of reach of curious paws. Chocolate, sugar-free treats containing xylitol, and other Halloween goodies can be dangerous for our four-legged family members!

Enjoy a little peek at the fun we had! 🍁

🐾 Patient Care Week Spotlight: MICHELL! 🐾

Every new job comes with a learning curve, but Michell has spent the last few months proving just how much you can accomplish when you're willing to step outside your comfort zone! 💚 Michell is one of the newest additions to our Animal Care Assistant team, and it's been such a joy watching her knowledge grow, her confidence blossom, and her relationships with our patients and the team get stronger every day.

Michell came to Creekside with previous experience as a groomer, but she was ready to explore the veterinary side of animal care and gain hands-on experience while taking classes at Alamance Community College. Her love for animals and desire to help them live their best lives are what drew her to veterinary medicine, and her eagerness to learn has already made her a wonderful addition to our team! 🩺🐾

One of Michell's favorite parts of the job is learning new things and advancing her skills! She shared being nervous about performing blood draws and higher level veterinary skills when she first started, but with practice she's shaping up to be a pro on the floor! 🎉 Those moments when someone pushes past their nerves, learns a new skill, and realizes what they're capable of are exactly what we love seeing in our team.

And when Michell isn't at the clinic or studying, she's got quite the crew waiting for her at home! Her animal family includes a Pit Bull, two cats, chickens, a peacock, and sheep. 🐶🐱🐔🦚🐑 We have a feeling her experience with animals doesn't stop when she clocks out! And when she finds a little downtime, she loves to bake.

Michell, we're so happy you've joined the Creekside family! Thank you for showing up ready to learn, embracing new challenges, and continuing to build your skills every day. These first few months are just the beginning, and we're excited to watch you keep growing into your role. Here's to many more milestones ahead! 💙

🐾 Patient Care Week Spotlight: KIM! 🐾

Some people make a difference every day they're at the clinic, and others manage to make a difference that lasts long after they've headed home. Kim is absolutely one of those people! 💚 With over 12 years at Creekside, she's one of our most experienced team members and an incredible Veterinary Nurse whose knowledge, experience, and willingness to help make her an invaluable part of our team.

Kim has a special talent for the behind-the-scenes work that keeps our clinic running smoothly. From maintaining our surgical suite and instrument processing equipment to making sure our lab equipment is in top shape, she's the kind of person who notices the little things that make a BIG difference. And when she's in the surgery suite herself? She's right in her element! 🩺✨

Her journey into veterinary medicine began when she was working as a zookeeper and discovered an interest in the medical side of animal care. That curiosity turned into a career, and we're so glad it did! One of her favorite parts of the job is helping patients feel comfortable, earning their trust, and being a reassuring presence while they're in our care. That patience and compassion are such an important part of what makes her a wonderful nurse.

These days, Kim is only at Creekside on Thursdays while she stays busy homeschooling her two boys, and while we completely understand that her family keeps her schedule full, we'd be lying if we said we didn't wish we had her around more often! 😂 Even in just one day a week, she manages to make a huge impact. She's always willing to jump in wherever she's needed, whether that's helping a teammate, lending her expertise, or even hopping on the busy phones to help a client.

And here's a fun fact that might just steal the show: Kim used to train cougars and black bears to help during medical procedures! 🐻🐆 Yes, REALLY! Before she was helping us keep our surgical suite in top shape, she was working with some seriously impressive patients. We think that officially earns her some of the coolest veterinary experience on our team!

At home, Kim has a cat, a turtle, and a corn snake keeping things interesting, in addition to her busy life with her boys. 🐱🐢🐍

Kim, thank you for more than 12 years of dedication, knowledge, and heart. You have a way of making everyone's job easier, supporting your teammates without hesitation, and making sure so many important details never get overlooked. We may only get you one day a week now, but the impact you make is felt every single day. We're so grateful you're part of Creekside!

We have to know: would you be brave enough to help care for a cougar or a black bear? 🐻👇 Because we're pretty sure Kim has some stories to tell!

🐾 Patient Care Week Spotlight: SARAH! 🐾

From watching Steve Irwin on TV to caring for patients in a veterinary clinic, Sarah's love for animals has been a part of her story for as long as she can remember! 🐊💚 Growing up surrounded by animals, she even started volunteering at a pet store when she was just 13 years old. By her 14th birthday, she'd been offered a job, and she ended up spending the next 10 YEARS working there before making the leap into veterinary medicine. Talk about turning a childhood passion into a career!

In 2024, Sarah made the big move all the way from New York to join the Creekside family as a Veterinary Nurse, and we're so glad she did! When asked what her favorite part of the job is, her answer was simple: ALL OF IT! From helping animals feel better to assisting with surgery and monitoring patients through their procedures, she loves being part of every step of their care. 🩺🐾 That enthusiasm and willingness to jump into all aspects of veterinary medicine make her such a wonderful part of our team!

At home, Sarah and her husband have their own little crew keeping life busy: Simba, their Chiweenie, and two special-needs Frenchies, Rafiki and Pumbaa, along with their adorable son, Wyatt! 🐶🐾 Clearly, animals have always been a big part of Sarah's world, and we're sure her household is full of plenty of love and personality!

But here's a fun fact you probably wouldn't guess about Sarah: she could skate before she could walk! ⛸️ Sarah was a competitive figure skater for more than 10 years!

Sarah, thank you for bringing your experience, enthusiasm, and love for animals to Creekside. From your years of working with animals to the care you provide our patients today, it's clear that this has always been your calling. We're so happy you made the move to North Carolina and became part of our team! 💙

🐾 Patient Care Week Spotlight: LIZ! 🐾

Some people take a little time to find their footing on a new team, and others jump right in from day one! 💚 Liz joined the Creekside family in September as a Veterinary Nurse, and she's already made quite the impression. With years of experience at practices across the country (including a few years out in Oregon!), she came to us with a wealth of knowledge, confidence, and a personality to match. She's jumped right in, brings a great attitude to work, and is always willing to pitch in wherever she's needed. We're so glad she's here!

Liz's journey into veterinary medicine started with a lifelong love of animals and an original dream of going to veterinary school. She began building her experience by working as both a Client Service Representative and a kennel team member before continuing to grow her career in veterinary nursing. And she's not done learning yet! She's currently enrolled in Penn Foster's Veterinary Technician program, continuing to build her skills and knowledge while caring for our patients. 📚🩺

One of Liz's favorite parts of the job is using Fear Free methods to help patients feel safe and comfortable during their visits. Veterinary appointments can be stressful for some pets, and taking the time to reduce that anxiety can make such a difference in their experience. 🐾

When she's not at Creekside or studying, Liz is busy being a mom to her beautiful two-year-old son! She also has two cats at home, Darwin and Jane, and enjoys playing piano, cooking, and baking in her free time. 🎹🍰

Liz, thank you for bringing your experience, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn to our team. You've fit in so naturally, and we're excited to see all the ways you'll continue to grow and make a difference for our patients and their families. We're lucky to have you as part of the Creekside family! 💚

🐾 Patient Care Week Spotlight: DR. SWANNER! 🐾

We're rounding out the final day of Patient Care Week by celebrating the person who helped make it all possible: Dr. Swanner!

Next week marks 16 years since Dr. Swanner and his wife, Julie, our Business Director, opened Creekside Animal Clinic! What started as their vision has grown into the clinic and team we know and love today, and their story is far from finished. With our brand-new, standalone clinic being built right across the parking lot and set to open next year, there's so much excitement ahead for the Creekside family! 🎉🏥

As a veterinarian, Dr. Swanner's priority has always been providing exceptional care to his patients while going above and beyond for the families who trust us with their pets. His love for animals and the connections he builds with his patients and their people are a huge part of what makes him such a special doctor. He understands that caring for a pet means caring for the family who loves them, too, and that commitment shines through in the way he practices medicine.

But his impact doesn't stop in the exam room! Dr. Swanner has built a team that continues to learn, grow, and push toward better patient care every day. He's an approachable, supportive leader who recognizes the value each person brings to Creekside, encourages his fellow doctors, and challenges all of us to keep improving. Building a clinic is one thing; building a team that genuinely cares about one another and the work they do is something else entirely, and we're grateful for the culture he's helped create. 💙

When he's not at the clinic, Dr. Swanner and Julie stay busy raising their two wonderful boys and caring for their own crew of furry friends… plus a few ducks! 🐶🐱🦆 We have a feeling there's never a shortage of activity at the Swanner household!

Dr. Swanner, thank you for the vision that started Creekside, the leadership that continues to move us forward, and the genuine care you bring to our patients, clients, and team. Sixteen years is an incredible milestone, and we're so proud to be part of what you've built. We can't wait to see what this next chapter brings! 💚

Sixteen years down, and a whole new chapter just around the corner! Here's to the people, patients, and community that make Creekside Animal Clinic what it is today, and to all the exciting things still to come. 🐾🎉

🐾 Patient Care Week Spotlight: SHELBY! 🐾

Shelby joined the Creekside family in April 2023 and has been part of our Veterinary Nursing team for the past few years. While she's now only working part-time on Saturdays, we're so glad we get to keep her as part of the Creekside family, and it's always a little brighter around here when she's in the building!

Shelby's love for animals started when she was young, and she always knew she wanted to work with them. These days, one of her favorite parts of the job is getting to love on all the adorable patients who come through our doors. 🐶🐱 And if you've ever been in an exam room with Shelby, you know she brings so much more than a love for animals! She has a wonderful personality and a natural knack for connecting with clients, making them feel comfortable and building those relationships that make veterinary care feel a little less stressful.

Although we don't get to see her as often as we'd like, Shelby still makes her Saturdays count! We're sure plenty of our clients miss seeing her more frequently, too. There's something special about having a familiar face who remembers you and your pet, and Shelby has a way of making those connections feel effortless.

When she's not at Creekside, Shelby has a full house keeping her busy with six kids and three pets: Freya, Zero, and Rosie! We're guessing there is never a dull moment at home! And here's a fun fact you might not know about her: Shelby loves to sing! 🎤 We may have to convince her to give us a little concert during one of her Saturday shifts!

Shelby, thank you for continuing to be part of the Creekside family and for bringing your warmth, personality, and love for our patients to every shift. We're so happy we get to keep you on our team, even if it's just one day a week, and we're always glad when Saturday rolls around! 💚🐾

Have you and your pet had a visit with Shelby? We'd love to hear about your experience with one of our favorite Saturday faces! 🐾

🐾 Patient Care Week Spotlight: CHRISTI! 🐾

Some people don't just become part of a team; they help shape the team into what it is today. 💚 Christi has been with Creekside for an incredible 11.5 YEARS, and her journey is a perfect example of what dedication, hard work, and a genuine love for veterinary medicine can look like!

Christi started here as an Animal Care Assistant, worked her way up to Veterinary Nurse, and now also serves as a team leader focusing on training and mentoring the next generation of veterinary professionals - our animal care assistants! Over the years, she's gained an incredible amount of knowledge and experience, and she's become one of those people everyone can turn to when they need guidance. In an industry where burnout and turnover are real challenges, having someone who has stuck with us through so many seasons—including the especially challenging days of COVID—is something we don't take for granted. We're so lucky to have her! 🩺🐾

One of Christi's favorite parts of her job is ear cytologies and helping others. She's a natural teacher, which makes her such a wonderful fit for guiding our Animal Care Assistants as they learn the foundations of veterinary medicine. She's the kind of leader who advocates for her team, celebrates their successes, and leads by example. Her ability to go with the flow while still supporting the people around her is a gift to our clinic!

At home, Christi's got Lady, her dog, and Tee-tee, her cat, keeping her company. 🐶🐱 And when she's not busy supporting our team, she's juggling life with three beautiful kids of her own! We're not sure where she finds all the hours in the day, but we're certainly impressed!

Christi, thank you for 11.5 years of dedication, leadership, patience, and heart. The knowledge you share, the people you support, and the countless little things you do to keep our clinic running have made a lasting difference. We're grateful for everything you've given to Creekside and so proud to have you on our team. Here's to all the wonderful things still ahead! 💚

If you've been part of the Creekside family for a while, there's a good chance Christi has helped you or your pet along the way! Thank her in the comments below! 🐾

🐾 Patient Care Week Spotlight: DR. FERGUSON! 🐾

Some people may not be at the clinic every day, but they still manage to leave a lasting paw print on the team! 💚 Dr. Ferguson has been part of the Creekside family for the past two years, and during that time, she's become someone we're always happy to see walk through our doors.

As a relief veterinarian, Dr. Ferguson spent much of that time with us every Tuesday and Friday while we worked to bring another full-time DVM onto the team. And let me tell you, two years of working alongside someone with her experience, quick wit, and genuine love for animals will make you pretty fond of them! 😂🐾

Now that Dr. Mackdanz has joined our DVM team, Dr. Ferguson is back to helping us out in a true relief capacity. But when we need an extra set of hands, she's one of the first people we call! Despite living all the way in Winston-Salem and making quite the drive to get to us, she never hesitates to lend a hand whenever she's able. That kind of support means the world to our team, especially on those days when we need a little extra help to keep things running smoothly.

Dr. Ferguson, thank you for being such a wonderful part of the Creekside family over these past two years! Your experience, humor, and compassion have made a lasting impression on our team, and we're so grateful we can count on you when we need you. Whether you're here every week or just stopping in to help us out, you're always part of the family! 💚

We're always glad when Dr. Ferguson is in the building! If you've had the pleasure of meeting her during your pet's visit, we hope she made your day a little brighter, too! 🐶🐱
