Our Staff

The Broad Ripple Animal Clinic and Wellness Center team is a group of very diverse people who all have a passion for exceptional veterinary medicine and a drive for building relationships with our clients and their pets. Clients and their pets are the reason we exist. It is an honor that you have chosen us to provide for your pets.

Meet the Doctors of Broad Ripple Animal Clinic and Wellness Center! Each doctor is an integral part of our team. Constantly learning and growing within their special interest areas of veterinary medicine, they frequently consult with one another. If your pet is a BRACpet, then your pet has the benefit of years of expertise, knowledge and caring!

Have you ever wondered what a Registered Veterinary Technician does? Their job is much like that of a Registered Nurse in human medicine. Experienced and knowledgeable, they can answer your medical questions when you can’t reach your doctor right away. They also care for all our hospitalized patients, seven days a week!

Our Client Patient Assistants are a cross-trained group of people from a variety of backgrounds. Dancers, singers, dental hygienists, fitness instructors and librarians in former lives, they all share a passion for people and their pets. They are a cross-trained team that not only take care of your client service needs, but they also deliver client education and function as the “right-hand” to their assigned doctor.

Their goal is to provide the highest level of care possible to your pets, thus allowing them to enhance the quality of your lives. We encourage personal and professional growth, and we currently have more than five members of our Client Patient Assistant department enrolled in distance learning programs. These “students” are all working towards becoming Registered Veterinary Technicians.
