Client Service Representative at North Avenue Animal Hospital

Practice

North Avenue Animal Hospital provides a broad spectrum of diagnostic procedures through both in-house testing and the use of external laboratories. Our facility includes a well stocked pharmacy, in-hospital surgery suite, and a closely supervised hospitalization area. We utilize the latest technology, including anesthesia monitoring, digital x-ray, ultrasound, and electronic medical records. In addition, we work very closely with many local, specialized practices when such referrals are required.

Since 1999 our hospital has voluntarily achieved the high standards of The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), qualifying us as an accredited member of AAHA. These standards pertain to facilities, equipment, practice methods, and management. Our goal is to practice the highest quality medicine, and we are dedicated to becoming your partner in your pet’s health care, treating your pet as we would our own.

Reporting into the Practice Manager, the Client Service Representative (CSR), provides an exceptional experience to our clients during every interaction. In addition to continually engaging the client, the CSR performs practice administrative tasks such as record maintenance and appointment tracking. The CSR manages practice reception (visitor and telephone), maintenance of veterinary medical records, accounts maintenance, cash processing, data entry, word processing and mail services.

The CSR applies practical knowledge of practice processes and services, the basic rules and regulations governing visitors and animal patient treatment, and veterinary record requirements and terminology to ensure every patient is well‑cared for and every client has an exceptional experience.
