Veterinary Assistants

Veterinary assistants at North Shore Veterinary Hospital have a wide variety of responsibilities.  They provide assistance to our doctors, technicians and receptionists.  At any given time, they may be answering the phone, taking a patient history, providing client education, or assisting with patient diagnostic procedures and medical care.  Our veterinary assistants are truly an invaluable part of our team!
