Our South 31 Veterinary Team
We are one big family at South 31 and have a lot of fun working together. Part of what makes South 31 tick is the staff that work here. The doctors bring knowledge, surgical skills and guidance, but the rest of the staff provide a bridge and an extension between the doctors and our valued clients. Together we are more than just a team, we are what makes the South 31 family. All in all the South 31 family has a compassion and empathy for their client’s and their client’s pets.
