Dr. Gheorghe and Dr. Jody
Our Veterinarians
Our two experienced veterinarians, Dr. Jody and Dr. Gheorghe, have over 50 years of combined experience in the field. While they are not board certified specialists, they both have a keen interest in different fields of medicine. Dr. Jody has completed many hours of continuing education for cardiology, non-diagnostic ultrasound and internal medicine. Dr. Gheorghe has trained with specialists in performing advanced orthopedic and orthodontic procedures. He is also in the process of completing his CCRV, which would make him a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Veterinarian, as well as opening a physiotherapy clinic in the near future (stay tuned for more!). These two together will equip us with the knowledge and facility to help your pet with all of their mobility and recovery needs. Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate care and knowledgeable service to all of our furry patients, which is why we are always looking for more ways to expand our expertise!
Our Registered Veterinary Technicians
At Heartland Vet clinic, we are dedicated to providing exceptional care for your furry family members. Our knowledgeable and well-educated veterinary technicians work alongside our experienced veterinarians to ensure your pet receives the best possible treatment. Not only are they well-educated and experienced with anesthetic monitoring, performing radiographs and phlebotomy, but they have also gone through the training to complete routine annual physical exam and vaccinations. Implementing RVT exams allows our veterinarians to see more sick patients in a day and have more time with each pet. And with RVT exams, you get to meet more of our wonderful team!
Our Veterinary Assistants
At our clinic, veterinary assistants (or technician assistants/TA's) play a crucial role in providing the foundation for exceptional care. Although you may not always hear or see them, they are always hard at work. From assisting in surgeries to managing appointments and taking your phone calls, our veterinary assistants are an integral part of our team. Our veterinary assistants are always eager to learn and go the extra mile for our patients.
