TESTIMONIALS
“Alexe started off in our emergency clinic as a tech, who we very quickly promoted as Nurse Manager. This was not only because of her clinical skills, enthusiasm and great attitude, but also for the amazing way she has with people. She is one of the most empathetic people I’ve ever met, not only towards animals, but also clients and staff. If it were up to us, we would have had Alexe as part of our team forever!”
Silja Mack,
VT & Practice Manager
“In our team Alexe played a central role, because of her high standard of team spirit, which reflects on the relationships she builds with her colleagues; the vets, the techs, the support staff and the clients, who appreciated her as a tech as well as a person. Alexe has excellent communication skills and is very social, empathic and an honest person with her heart in the right place, she is willing to go to great lengths to put the patients’ needs first. “
