    ✨Meet our Practice Manager, Chrissy!✨ Chrissy ✨Meet our Practice Manager, Chrissy!✨ Chrissy started her career in the veterinary field in 2007 after managing the Tower Records location in Tysons Corner for many years. When the Tower chain sadly went out of business she decided to make a huge change and work with the other passion in her life other than music: learning about and caring for animals! Chrissy held various positions at two feline-only clinics in the area before joining EMMAvet, most recently Practice Manager at NOVA Cat Clinic for 6 years. She is passionate about the behind-the-scenes aspects of managing a veterinary clinic and how important it is to develop the most talented medical team and support staff for your pet. Chrissy was raised in Northern Virginia and around the world as the daughter of diplomats. Her parents' jobs in the foreign service took her to Mexico, Turkey, and Portugal as a child. It was Ankara, Turkey in particular where she fell in love with and cared for many of the stray cats in her neighborhood during those years. Chrissy lives in Arlington and is owned by a big lug of a cat named Stanley. Outside of work she loves to catch live music as much as she can and tries to stay hip to the latest and greatest in music and pop culture. #emmavet is grateful for Chrissy’s dedication to the field and hard work in maintaining gold standards 🌟

    What a week!! We appreciate our veterinary nurses What a week!! We appreciate our veterinary nurses oh so much. Veterinary Nurses will often be the first people to touch your pets when they come to the clinic. They will report back to the doctors about the medical problem, your concerns, relevant history, and how cute/soft/nervous/fearful/excited your pet is. They are highly trained and experienced to know what information is important for helping diagnose a problem, as well as for what specific needs your pet has at a sick visit (examples - Emma wants her paw held during the exam or she will resort to sorting through the trash, or Jaildog is better when her dad is there and holding her). Veterinary Nurses know how to draw blood, just like the phlebotomist at your doctor’s office. They will also perform the lab work - blood, urine, stool, anything gross that we can get an answer from! They will troubleshoot if the machines are acting up, or if the centrifuge has a meltdown. Veterinary Nurses are also radiology technicians. They expertly hold your pet in the appropriate position, all while maintaining patient comfort. If your pet is too painful or anxious to position safely and comfortably, they will let the doctors know that they need some pain or relaxation medications. They are the number one advocates for your pets. At EMMAvet, Veterinary Nurses keep the pharmacy up and running. They know how to track and monitor inventory, and they make sure our pharmacy is stocked. They maintain the dreaded controlled drug logs, and make sure we are DEA compliant. Our medications are literally under fingerprint access. If your pet is hospitalized or undergoing a procedure, Veterinary Nurses are the people who spend the most time with your pet. They check vitals, maintain comfort and calm, and alert the doctor to any changes (good and bad) to your pet’s condition. They truly are skilled caretakers.
