Andy Schipper testimonial at Animal Emergency and Specialty Hospital of Grand Rapids

Working in the Animal Emergency and Specialty Hospital of Grand Rapids has been an incredibly rewarding experience for me. I came from a background very far removed from animal medicine and was surprised by how quickly I adapted and was made a part of the Animal Emergency and Specialty Hospital of Grand Rapids family. It really is a family of tight knit and wonderful people who come from all different environments, which allow them to provide unique outlooks to every situation. In an emergency room you can experience many drastic highs and lows but being with a team of coworkers who are genuinely there to support and comfort you, in the end it makes every bad day worth it and every good day that much better.
