Veterinary Technician - Stephani B.Stephani is from the northwest suburbs with a passion for animals since she was a toddler. She graduated in 2020 with an associates in applied science from Rockford Career College to earn the credentials to take the exam to become a certified veterinary technician.
She has experience in emergency medicine as well as general practice for about 4 years. Stephani has worked with Dr. Rosen for a couple years and has fully supported her journey in starting a clinic with urgent care. Stephani believes urgent care is necessary since being on 2 sides of the veterinary field (both ER and GP), she feels sympathy for the pets that are not being able to be seen due to log wait times at the emergency or having an available appointment at their regular clinic not being available for weeks. Having an urgent care clinic gives a great medium for patients to go to. Stephani loves playing video games, reading, and drawing in her spare time. She has 3 senior chihuahuas named Simba, Zoey and Jake as well as a Syrian hamster named Giusseppe. |
