We Work Together
At any veterinary hospital, the person who fills
each position, from veterinarian to kennel maintenance worker, is
extremely important. Not just anyone will do. Special
characteristics, such as a love of the creatures of this world,
patience, a gentle touch and a calm spirit that animals can detect,
are necessary to quiet the fears of owners and pets when entering
our doors.
At Emerson Animal Hospital, we are very fortunate to have
a well staffed, highly competent team of professionals who have
amassed over 170 years of experience in their chosen
field.
In the reception room, you will be greeted by Alex Bailey
and/or Kristy Herring. They collect the initial history and
information that makes possible a thorough study of any animal's
health problem.
After visiting with them, you will be invited into the
examination room where either Doctor Emerson or Doctor Frey will
welcome both you and your pet. They are assisted by one or
two of our friendly staff, Diane Spiegel, or Dessie Enrico.
From this point, one of several options for the health
care of your pet are available. Many illnesses are diagnosed
and treated as the owner watches, and then the pet is allowed to go
home. In other instances, a period of hospitalization is
necessary, possibly a portion of that day or more, up to a week or
two.
Each case is different, and our recommendations are driven
by the health and the response to treatment of your sick or injured
pet. We attempt to make any animal's stay with us as
comfortable and relaxed as possible.
Kristy Herring administers our animal training and
behavioral counseling classes.
We have found that clean, well groomed animals with good
personalities, socialization and training make far better family
members whose company we may enjoy for many years.
