Dr. Stephanie Secic
DVM/Associate Veterinarian Joined the ACOC team in September 2023 Favorite thing or most inspiring part of position at ACOC: Having the opportunity to make vet visits fun! I love how much time each staff member takes to make pets feel comfortable at the vet. I really love being able to reduce the amount of fear, anxiety, and stress pets feel when coming to the vet. I love talking to clients about... Behavior and enrichment! I love collaborating with clients on how they can work together with their pet to overcome various obstacles. I love discussing fear free medicine with owners and how they can implement positive reinforcement-based training at home. Interesting facts: I love birdwatching! I have seen over 500 species of birds in the United States! I also try to read at least 100 books per year. I am always open to recommendations. If I wasn't so darned good at my job, I'd probably be..... A barista/librarian. I would love to drink coffee and talk about books all day! If I were a superhero, my superpower would be.... Flying! I would love to be able to fly around the world! If I were an animal, I would be a.... Probably a species of bird (my favorite bird is a Downy woodpecker, I also love swimming though, so maybe a penguin?). I really love traveling and being outside, so the idea of flying sounds amazing! What is your favorite ACOC core value and why? Passionate. I love having the opportunity to work with a group of people that are passionate about what they do, and can use that passion to help clients and their pets! Return to Our Team |
