The REAL Office Manager
Snoopy Kitty joined us in November 2018 and has proven herself to be a valuable asset to the practice. She is typically too busy keeping the staff in line to have time for glamour shots, but next time you visit our clinic you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of this majestic and elusive creature.
