I wanted to take this opportunity to announce that I will be leaving the practice, effective July 19, 2019. It has been a privilege to have worked the past 14 years surrounded by such amazing teammates, clients, and patients. I have spent the better part of a year trying to determine the next step for myself in regards to optimizing my career while maintaining good work-life balance. To that end, I have decided to take a position as a relief veterinarian. This will allow me to have a more flexible schedule, but continue to provide high level veterinary care and exotic species services to a wider clientele. I am sad about my departure from ABC, but excited about the new people and pets I will meet, and the new challenges I will encounter. Joining our team will be Dr. Melissa McNeil, a skilled practitioner who has impressive experience with exotic species, and who I have already had the pleasure of working with previously. I have the utmost confidence that she will be a wonderful asset to the practice.
