The AEC is looking to add more urgent care time. With our current workload and staffing we are often required to limit incoming capacity to "critical only" or "full deferral" which is very frustrating for our staff and our clients.

We want to help everyone and have the facility to allow for this, however, we just do not have the staff.

This could be a great opportunity for a local doctor or technician interested in more exposure to ER medicine.

Our goal will be to have 2 doctors on most shifts and could often support 3 doctors, however, like most of our profession, we are short on staff. A benefit of having day time technicians work in the ER is they bring a skill set ER does not use as much and they can get extra exposure to ER and critical cases that are helpful in their normal practice...same goes for veterinarians.

A few technicians that wanted to work 2 shifts a month on Saturday or Sunday would make a huge difference in the wait times and even availability of if the clinic can accept patients on those super busy times. We typically have 3-5 technicians on during the weekend, so they would not be alone dealing with cases.

We have a building that is 10,000 square feet and now have the kinks ironed out.

The building has IDEXX labs in house, IDEXX digital radiology, SonoSite ultrasound, 2 surgery suites, 4 treatment tables, 8 exam/consult rooms, 3 anesthesia machines, state of the art anesthesia monitoring machines and in house blood bank make providing care efficient and easy.

STAFF PET kennel makes it easy to bring your dog to work.

Our record system was revamped recently with much more templating to allow for faster record writing and preparation of treatment sheets.

If you are a veterinary technician or veterinarian interested in the ER please contact us!
