Crystal is a vital member of our team, with us for two years now, and is a native Floridian. She brings with her a great attitude of enthusiasm for her job and a deeply genuine affection for the animals. She has learned very quickly and is willing to jump in and help with anything she is needed for. She is single with no children, unless you count her much beloved pooch, Belle, a pampered dachshund, whom she is devoted to.
Sarah Grace Ackerman
Receptionist/Assistant in training
Sarah Grace has been coming to our clinic for years, as the daughter of the doctors, but we would now like to welcome her as an employee! She will be working on Saturday's while still in high school, and perhaps more during the summer. She has a great love for all animals and is outgoing and personable, so we feel she will be a great asset to the goals of our family practice!
