Tamara, Assistant:
I joined the practice in 2008. It was my love of animals and wanting to pursue a career in veterinary medicine that drew me here. In addition to my degree from IUPUI, I've attended a veterinary technician program and many continuing education classes. I particularly enjoy working with some of the more reluctant patients, behavioral issues and seeing our sick patients walk out healthy. I have fostered and rescued many dogs and cats. I also work with autistic and special needs adults.

Sharon, Receptionist:
I joined the practice in 2009. In my prior life, I was a hair stylist for over 13 years. It was my deep love and interest in dogs and cats that guided me towards a new career at a veterinary specialty center. After working there for several years, I was drawn to the idea of general practice which offers the opportunity for building long term relationships with clients and their pets. I found that in WVC! I am especially interested in animal dermatology, which includes food and seasonal allergies. When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time with my dogs Bella and Waffles, or you may also find me visiting Ohio State University and watching my son play Golf.

Donna, Receptionist:
I joined the practice in 2010. The practice I previously worked with closed and I'm happy to have found another clinic where people care about pets and their owners. With over thirty years experience working at vet clinics as a receptionist, I continue to enjoy helping our wonderful clients. Over the years I have had the opportunity to further my knowledge by attending many continuing education classes and state meetings. When I am not working, my own menagerie beckons and calls. It includes multiple cats plus unusual pets like mice, sugar gliders, hedge hogs, a chameleon and a bearded dragon!

Suzy, Assistant:
I first met the incredible staff at WVC in December 2010 as a client. My many pets needed a new veterinary clinic and I immediately felt at home here. In March 2012, I joined the WVC family as a veterinary assistant. Since then, I have enjoyed building relationships with all of our clients and caring for their incredible animal companions. I am particularly interested in cat behavior. At home, I find it very interesting the way that they interact with one another, our dogs and my family. When I'm not working, my family and I spending a lot of time gardening or enjoying nature. Our favorite family activity is camping

Jenna, Receptionist:
I joined WVC in March of 2018. Since I was a child I've been drawn to animals and have always had a strong desire to work with them. My first experience in doing so was with my first dog - Otis, who was a black lab; together we participated in 4-H. Since then I have continued to seek work involving animal health. My experience ranges from PetSmart, to local boarding facilities and veterinary clinics. Through my work, my 9 year old son has also acquired a love of animals. In my spare time, I volunteer in the food pantry at my church. I also enjoy spending time with my family, which includes my two dogs; an American bulldog mix named Anakin and a pit mix named Leia.

Kelly, Assistant:
I joined the practice in December of 2019. I had worked with several of the doctors previously and was excited when the opportunity to work with them full-time came available. I have worked 11 years in the veterinary field and really enjoy working with clients and their pets. When I'm not working I enjoy running and reading.

Hailey, Receptionist:
I joined WVC in August of 2020. It is my love of dogs that originally brought me to the veterinary field. It took me a few years to find my way to a general practice. I love it! I enjoy getting to know our clients and offering the best customer service I can. In my time off I enjoy hanging with our dogs, boating, flying and cooking.

I joined WVC in February of 2021. I have always loved animals and worked several years in the veterinary field before joining WVC. I appreciate that everyday is a new day with new friends to meet. I especially enjoy assisting in surgery, I find it fascinating. When I am not at work I coach boys volleyball, groom dogs, listen to music and help my mom with her pet food business.
