Meisels Animal Hospital offers a unique blend of state-of-the-art equipment and services, but with a “home-like” feel that is appreciated by clients and staff alike. Our staff works amazingly well together, and we enjoy each other's company while at work. Veterinary medicine is stressful, and we take our jobs seriously, but we try to have fun every day. Sense of humor, a patient-centered approach and excellent interpersonal skills are required.
