Veterinary Technicians
Twin Maples Veterinary Hospital employs seven Registered Veterinary Technicians and two Veterinary Technician Assistants who are essential members of our veterinary team. They normally work behind the scenes performing more than just nursing care.
Veterinary Technicians are responsible for many things such as pre and post surgical monitoring, anesthesia and surgical assisting. They also serve as dental hygienists when your pet is in the hospital for a dental cleaning. Veterinary Technicians do a variety of other tasks such as venipuncture, radiology, IV catheter placement, monitoring hospitalized patients, administering medications, giving vaccines, trimming toe nails and many other things. All of our Veterinary Technicians have at least a two year degree from an accredited college and they are all registered within the state of Ohio. In order to keep their license, they all must complete 10 hours of continuing education every two years. Veterinary Technician Assistants have many responsibilities as well that include surgical pack preparation, assisting the technicians or doctors for venipuncture or IV catheter placement, restraint, radiology and a variety of other tasks. All of our Veterinary Technician Assistants were trained on the job and are required to attend in clinic meetings about new information in veterinary medicine. You can feel confident that when your pet makes the trip to the “back” for exams, blood work or other procedures, that they are in the hands of trained and caring professionals.
