Hello, my name is Sarah  I am a licensed veterinary technician at Plymouth Veterinary Hospital.

Hello my name is Krystal and I am a Veterinary Assistant at Plymouth Veterinary Hospital. I am an animal lover!  I had pets my entire life and now I am the owner of two pets; my cat Prince and my bearded dragon Rex.  My lizard rules the house because my cat is afraid of him.  My #1 priority is making sure pets get all the care they need to live a healthy life.  That is why I enjoy making sure patients get all the attention they need at Plymouth Veterinary Hospital.  I was a straight 'A' student in high school and now I am on my way to becoming a veterinary technician in the future.

 

My name is Erin and I am a Veterinary Assistant at  Plymouth  Veterinary  Hospital. I was so excited when I was asked to become part of the wonderful team here at  Plymouth Veterinary  Hospital. I graduated from  Michigan  State  University in 2006 with a Bachelors degree in Communications. After working in management for four years my career goals changed and I discovered my true passion was working with and helping animals. Currently I am working to fulfill requirements to apply to the  College of  Veterinary Medicine at  Michigan  State University. I live in  Livonia and grew up with dogs my whole life. Although I do not currently have any pets I look forward to one day having a dog of my own. 

 

 

                              

Hi everybody!  My name is Julie I am a Veterinary Health Care Advisor at Plymouth Veterinary Hospital.  I am the newest staff member here in PVH reception.  Along with Sarah, I am the one who takes your calls, checks in your pets, and tries to make your visit as pleasant as possible.  I am currently majoring in chemistry and biology at Eastern Michigan University, and one day hope to help your animals in a more direct manner through patient assistance and laboratory analysis.  At home, my husband and I are the proud pet parents to two lovely mixed breed dogs (Tilly and JoJo), the sweetest Jack Russell Terrier you could ever hope to meet (Miles), a feisty and chatty parrot named Skittles, and Cassie (our 130lb wolfhound baby!).  In my spare time I enjoy working out, going for long rides on my motorcycle, and cooking for my family.  I hope I can bring a little sunshine to your day when you visit us!

Lauren, Dr. Gorbea's daughter,  will be again joining us this Summer as a veterinary assistant!  She will be a Senior in High School at Father Gabriel Richard High School in Ann Arbor.
