Veterinary Receptionist

Client Service Representative 

Our hospital is an AAHA accredited small animal veterinary facility currently located in the South Reno area and we are having a growth spurt!

We are looking for an experienced CSR to join our team! We believe in hiring for the right fit and building a team that works well together to provide gold standard care to our patients. We push for these standards while also providing that “small town” environment where clients feel like family and can make themselves at home. We focus not just on our patient care, but building a lasting relationship with clients as well. 

At our hospital, our CSR's play a vital role in customer relations. They are the face of our practice and the first to interact with our clientele. We are committed to forming a strong bond with our clients as soon as they become a part of our fuzzy/scaley/feathered family. 

CSR's will also train with the rest of the staff during our "Staff Lab" meetings in general animal restraint, assessing vitals like heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and respiratory rate, running laboratory diagnostics, and more! We give everybody the opportunity to learn any and all of the skills they desire! Cross-training as a veterinary assistant is also an option and strongly encouraged. Experience of course is a plus!

We try to keep our days fast-paced, but organized, and strive for the utmost in quality of care!
