"I have been in the veterinary profession for over 25 years at this point. AESH is a unique and special place to work and practice. The culture is unlike anything I have ever experienced. From the medical director to the doctor leads, to the office managers, to the shift leads, there is a uniform appreciation and joy in what we do. I love going to work each shift and look forward to seeing my work family. I feel exhausted, yet proud and accomplished, leaving each shift. The people and culture make AESH an exceptional place to practice veterinary medicine. I am beyond appreciative of being given the opportunity to grow and learn with the practice, as the brilliant doctors and skillful staff continue to strive forward. It is a pleasure to be part of the West Michigan veterinary community, and I know the best is yet to come."
