Technician Supervisor
Sarah Mittler, RVT
Veterinary Tech School: Sanford Brown

I have only been working in this field for a short time, but each day it becomes more and more rewarding. All the employees here welcomed me with open arms and made the transition from school to work simple! I graduated from Sanford Brown College in St. Peters in May 2010. At work I enjoy seeing patients, running labwork, and assisting the doctors with anything they need. On my time off I enjoy being in the great outdoors hunting, shooting, and spending time with my 2 dogs and bird.

I have been working at this office since 2002 and love giving dogs beautiful smiles! I am our dental assistant and spend most of my days performing dental cleanings similar to a human Dental Hygienist at your dentist's office. My husband and I are proud parents of one son. We live on a large farm and have 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 3 horses. I love horseback riding and working out at the gym.

I have worked in this office since January 2005 and I enjoy assisting our doctors with appointments, taking radiographs, and running bloodwork. I have been married to my husband Mike, a fire fighter, since 2001. We have 2 children, 3 dogs, 4 cats, and two chinchillas. My favorite pastime is spending time with my kids and husband.

Specialty Care

Sometimes sick or injured pets need the care of a veterinary medical specialist. When that happens, VCA specialty hospitals work closely with the general practitioner veterinarians who refer cases to us in order to provide seamless veterinary care to your pet. When your pet is facing any kind of serious illness or injury, our specialty referral hospitals will provide the compassionate and expert care your beloved pet needs.

Our goal is to make sure that when you and your pet are in need that you have access to board certified specialists who are up to date on the very latest developments in their field. In our state of the art hospitals, our specialists also have access to the most sophisticated diagnostic and treatment tools and techniques from ultrasonography and endoscopy to CAT scans and even MRI.

We have over 40 specialty hospitals across the US so there may be one near you. Our specialized services include: behavior, cardiology, critical care, dentistry, dermatology, integrative medicine, internal medicine, neurology, oncology, ophthalmology, radiology, rehabilitation, reproduction, and surgery.
