Comments from Other AVTS Registered Vet Techs:

"Park runs a pretty tight ship! Very efficient. We love that you value and empower your RVTs. I've worked in over 30 clinics in the last 4 years, and it's so refreshing that you have firm boundaries around what a RVT and Assistant can do, especially in a GP. They said your assistants are well trained in restraint and fear free handling of cats, and your kennel attendants are great at keeping everything clean and stocked. My techs said everyone was super helpful in getting them oriented, and Kim is a dental guru!! Ashley mentioned that your medical records are great, easy to follow, and detailed notes for tracking chronic conditions or repetitive meds. "
