While Megan may be one of the newer additions to our team, working here for about 4 years. She is certainly no stranger to veterinary medicine! With 18 years of experience in the field, Megan has always had a passion for caring for animals. She graduated from Johnson College in Scranton and completed her internship at Cornell University, setting the stage for an incredible career in veterinary medicine.

The majority of Megan’s career was spent in referral medicine at a local emergency center, where she worked as a lead surgical technician. Along the way, she discovered passions
for Neurology (having dealt with her own epileptic dog) as well as Emergency medicine. Surgery and physical rehabilitation, were the major focus' of her career!

Megan’s special interests include canine rehabilitation, surgery, and anesthesia. She is also PennHIP certified, a specialized screening method used to evaluate canine hip joints, and completed her Canine Rehabilitation Certification through the University of Tennessee in 2019. This certification was a two- to three-year journey, making the day she completed the program one of the most memorable milestones of her career!

What does Megan love most about her job? Being hands-on with her patients and getting to perform the medicine! She enjoys a challenging nursing case and being directly involved in their care.

Now for a fun fact about Megan! She absolutely LOVES Border Collies and at one point owned three! She has also dabbled in dog sports, including agility, obedience, and sheep herding. Clearly, her love for animals extends well beyond the clinic!

When Megan isn't at work, you can find her volunteering at Cedar BMX, where she serves on the board of this nonprofit organization, In her free time she spends it traveling all over the country watching her son race BMX! While she finds it hard to just relax she has loved taking a back seat to this chapter of her life. At home, she has a furry family of her own consisting of one dog and two cats: Brea, N***y, and Mr. Pickles.

Megan's advice to anyone interested in pursuing a career in veterinary medicine is inspiring: Never stop believing in yourself! If you put in the work, anything is possible. Keep chasing your dreams as they can take you places you never imagined.

🐾 Meet Emily, Certified Veterinary Technician! 🐾
Today, we’re excited to introduce you to Emily, who has been working in the veterinary field for 10 years!

You could say veterinary medicine has always been a part of Emily’s life! With a dad who is a veterinarian, she grew up around the field and was inspired from an early age to follow in his footsteps. Instead of becoming a veterinarian herself, Emily found her passion as a veterinary technician. She went on to graduate from Johnson College in Scranton and has been making a difference in the lives of animals ever since!

Emily has a special interest in surgery and enjoys the variety her job brings, especially when the schedule changes and every day brings something new. One of her most memorable experiences was caring for a patient who had been hit by a car and required intensive care. Emily helped nurse that patient back to health and was able to see them make a full recovery. Moments like these are a reminder of just how rewarding this profession can be!
A fun fact about Emily? She once grew up in a home with 13 cats! These days, she has one feline companion of her own named Johnny. When she’s not at work, Emily enjoys cooking, baking, reading, and crocheting. She also loves getting outdoors and taking the UTV out for some fun!

Emily’s advice for anyone interested in veterinary medicine is that it’s an incredibly rewarding career, but it takes a great deal of dedication. Caring for animals requires hard work, patience, and a genuine passion for what you do.

When it comes to our clinic, Emily loves that the team feels like family. Everyone works well together, supports one another, and looks out for each other. That teamwork makes all the difference! ❤️

Thank you, Emily, for your 10 years of dedication, compassion, and commitment to caring for our patients. We’re lucky to have you as part of the Abington Vet Center family! 🐾

💙🤍 HAPPY VET TECH WEEK! 🤍💙

This week, we’re celebrating the incredible veterinary technicians who make such a difference every single day! 🐾

Being a vet tech is so much more than a job title. It means wearing a million different hats, often all in the same day! From being a nurse, surgical tech, laboratory tech, phlebotomist, dental hygienist, anesthesiologist, and emergency tech to serving as a physical therapist, pharmacist, groomer, and X-ray tech — our team does it all!

They are also our educators, counselors, patient advocates, lunch providers, caretakers, dog walkers, cage cleaners, and so much more. They comfort frightened patients, lend a shoulder to cry on, help families navigate difficult decisions, and celebrate the happy moments right alongside them. They even take on the roles of restrainer, janitor, and sometimes a little bit of everything in between!

We truly couldn’t do what we do without them! Thank you to our amazing veterinary technicians and support team for the care, patience, hard work, and love you give to every patient who walks through our doors. You make a difference in ways both big and small, and we appreciate you more than words can say!

Each day this week, we’ll be featuring one of our amazing techs so you can get to know the faces behind the team caring for your beloved pets! Get to know the people who help your furry family members feel safe, receive the care they need, and get back to being their happy, healthy selves.
