The simplest way to describe our Registered Veterinary Technicians is to call them veterinary nurses.  They are yet another set of skilled hands and eyes caring for your pet.   

Under the supervision of our doctors, these carefully chosen individuals provide direct patient care and are nursing and surgical assistants.  We are especially proud of our technicians and hold them as role models in their field.

Our Registered Veterinary Technicians have all received their two-year  degrees from the American Veterinary Medical Association accredited programs. (There are two in North Carolina: Sanford Community College and Gaston College).

They then have to pass a grueling state and national exam before they receive their license.  Our technicians are also required to receive continuing education to maintain their license. 

Mallard Creek Animal Hospital uses only Registered Veterinary Technicians to care for your pets.  We are fortunate to have these dedicated patient advocates as part of our team.
