WELCOME MELISSA - MEET OUR NEWEST STAFF MEMBER!

Hi, I am Melissa, the new Front Office Manager and veterinary technician for Dr. Pola and Dr. Trefz. I recently joined the ERAH team to further my 17 year career in veterinary medicine. After spending 16 years with Publix, I followed my heart and pursued a career in the veterinary field and joined Gulf Bay Animal Hospital in Clearwater in 2007. That is where I first met Dr. Trefz and Dr. Pola and here I am today to assist them with managing the day-to-day front office operations and filling in as a technician when needed! I recently left Dr. Trefz's former practice in St. Petersburg after joining him there in 2013.

​I was born with a love for animals that brought me into this profession to begin with and keeps me always anxious to get to work to see what the new day brings!

My husband Dave and I have three furry babies. Pachouli a Torti, Lexi a Calico and Mr. McDuff, a domestic long hair. I have 3 human adult children, Alison, Jeremy and Matthew. I moved to Florida from my hometown of Bridgeport, Connecticut when I was 8 years old and currently reside in Largo. I look forward to many years of helping take care of your furry family members!
