Kim, former head veterinary technician: Kim is a licensed veterinary technician and a 2003 graduate of CCBC Essex. She has been working for Rosedale since 2000. She is considered our practice's "cat whisperer". She loves all our feline friends, even the cranky ones! She says they are just "misunderstood". In her spare time she takes care of her six cats, volunteers at a shelter and fosters most of  the young strays in our adoption program. She is pictured with her cat "Mel" and two foster kittens, Tanner and Conner. Kim was selected as one of Cat Fancy magazine's "Ultimate Cat Lovers" for 2005, a well deserved honor. Kim has recently left us to move to the Eastern Shore, but we refuse to remove her picture. Come back soon Kim!!









Eileen, veterinary technician:
Eileen is also a licensed technician and a 2000 Essex grad. She worked for many years with Dr. Ira Luskin, a veterinary dental specialist who was also the owner of Rosedale from 1984 to 2004. Along with her regular technical duties, Eileen is our dental whiz--she performs the majority of the dental cleanings and X-rays at the practice and her experience is invaluable. She makes your doggie and kittie mouths sparkle!! She owns Hudson, a bouncy young dalmatian. She's also a bit camera shy!
Barbara, head veterinary technician: Barbara just recently joined our practice in October of 2009, but she has 20 years of experience as a licensed  technician, including stints with both a veterinary ophthalmologist and a veterinary dental specialist. She is pictured with her Irish Setter Cait (seen in a rare quiet moment). She also enjoys the company of 3 cats, 2 horses, 1 pony and 2 birds (an Eclectus parrot and a cockatiel). Welcome to Rosedale Barbara!

 



Barbara, practice manager: Barb is the person who makes Rosedale run. Employed at the hospital since the fall of 1995, she is responsible for keeping everything in the practice in good working order and all of us on our toes! You'll often see her smiling face at the front desk ready to help out. She enjoys her time off with her two cats and her dog Shelby, the concrete-eating  Golden Retriever happily snuggling with mom.










Gina, head receptionist: Gina has worked for Rosedale since 1987 and her knowledge of our clients and patients is invaluable. She recognizes most everyone and strives to make their experience at our hospital as pleasant as possible. She is owned by  her three cats (Aztec,  Emma and Tessa) and two Australian Shepherds, Logan and Savannah. She competes with both dogs in obedience trials in her spare time.







 Staci, veterinary assistant: Staci started working at Rosedale in summer of 2005 and has been an invaluable asset to the practice. Wonderful with our patients, a quick learner and a very hard worker, she has made all of our lives easier. She is pictured with her dog Lex, who is not quite as happy as Staci to be here! Unfortunately Lexie passed away some time after this picture was taken, and Staci now owns 2 American Staffordshire Terrier siblings (Pubbs and Mylo) and 3 bearded dragons.















Christine, veterinary assistant: Christine has worked at Rosedale since 2002 as  a veterinary assistant and occasional receptionist. Her ability to multitask and act as a jill-of-all-trades makes things go smoothly at the clinic. She shares this photo with her American Bulldog Candy, obviously enjoying the fruits of the cookie jar! 










 

Laura, veterinary technician: Laura is a licensed veterinary technician who works part-time at Rosedale. She works full time for Dr. Ira Luskin, the former owner of Rosedale, at his dental specialty clinics. She keeps her hand in general medicine by helping us out on weekends and the occasional weekday, and her presence is always welcome. She has two dogs, Hank (pictured) and Beulah, a three legged rescue dog she adopted from our hospital in 2005.






 


Rose, receptionist: Rose has been a client at Rosedale for many years, and apparently just can't get enough of us! She joined the practice in September of 2009 and has been rapidly learning all she needs to know about running the front desk. She is seen with her dog Allison, who seems to be enjoying a special treat. She is also the proud owner of  two cats, Lucy and Ricky. Always smiling, Rose is a welcome addition to our staff.
