Isabelle Blaser - Vet Receptionists
On the State of the Veterinary Field: "I think it's just a nationwide thing. That vet hospitals are understaffed and overworked and they always need an extra set of hands."
Pets are like family to a great majority of our population. As living creatures, these pets need help. Sometimes just a checkup, and sometimes something deeper, such as surgery. Regardless of what they need, they are the animals we care about and so we want them to be taken care of.
The world of veterinary medicine is a challenging one. The volume of pets is increasing, the volume of veterinarians and technicians is decreasing. The workload is simply too much for most people to bear for anything considered long term.
But does it have to be this way?
Isabelle Blaser is the incredible manager at Vet Receptionists, a company designed to lift much of the burden found in most veterinary clinics, by taking calls and helping reduce the workload of the overworked staff. By doing this, Isabelle and her crew at Vet Receptionists are able to help their client's employees keep doing all they need to do, keep them sane and keep them happily employed.
In this episode Isabelle shares the problems facing most veterinary clinics and the solutions that can turn a struggling practice into a place of happiness. Though most veterinary clinics may not be struggling financially, mentally and culturally they are often a house of cards. Many times without the doctors or clinic owners even knowing of the issues or demands being made on their team.
Listen as Isabelle explains the need for improved customer service to allow your clients to be treated better, as well as your employees.

Podcast Transcription:
James Kademan [00:00:00]:
What is Vet Receptionists?
Isabelle Blaser [00:00:01]:
Vet Receptionists is a remote reception service for veterinary hospitals.
James Kademan [00:00:06]:
Nice.
Isabelle Blaser [00:00:07]:
In short, that's.
James Kademan [00:00:08]:
That's cool. That's cool. Why is that important?
Isabelle Blaser [00:00:11]:
It's important because I'm sure you've been to a veterinary hospital sometime recently. The staff is more than you'd like to admit. I think it's just a nationwide thing that vet hospitals are understaffed and overworked and they always need an extra set of hands. That way they can take care of the patients that are in the hospital.
Isabelle Blaser [00:00:29]:
