Licensed Veterinary Technicians

Claudia

Claudia

Veterinary Technologist

Claudia has been with Animal Medical for over 13 years! That means a lot of big dogs and pitbulls have stolen her heart. When she’s not getting big dog kisses, she’s traveling to a beach or baking cakes (and hopefully bringing in cupcakes for her coworkers).

Sandy

Sandy

Veterinary Technologist

Sandy has been part of the AMNC family since 1996. She earned her Bachelor of Science in veterinary technology and Master of Science in organizational leadership from Mercy Univeristy. She especially loves ophthalmology, anesthesia, and surgical nursing. She also is an assistant professor at Mercy College where she shares her knowledge and experience with vet tech students. Sandy has a special place in her heart for the grumpy cats who visit our practice and is always trying to win them over.

Bryan

Bryan

Veterinary Technologist

Bryan came to us as a Mercy University extern but we liked him so much, we begged him to stay and he gratefully obliged. Since then, he has passed his VTNE and is excelling as our newest LVT. He’s now on the road to becoming a Veterinarian. In his (minimal) spare time, he enjoys spending time with his family & friends, his cat Karou, going to Disney and taking naps.

Anjelica

Anjelica

Veterinary Technician

Anjelica(aka Anj at AMNC) has nearly four years of hands-on experience in the veterinary field. She graduated from SUNY Delhi in 2022 with an Associate’s Degree in Applied Science and shortly after earned her LVT license in 2023. Next on her list: earning certification as a Veterinary Technician Specialist (VTS) to continue expanding her skills and knowledge.
Outside of work, she looks after her own “zoo”—featuring two dogs (Taze and Zeus), a rabbit (Herbert), a guinea pig (Alfalfa), and a bird (Kiwi). Known for her adaptability, great sense of humor, and all-around good vibes, Anjelica is always ready for whatever the day brings. 🙂

Booger

Booger

Hospital Cat

I am Booger, your resident clinic cat. Since I’ve joined AMNC, I’ve made a few important changes:
:white_check_mark: Increased cat content on social media by 500%
:white_check_mark: Declared the treat shelf as “staff only” (me)
:white_check_mark: Rebranded the clinic as a feline wellness spa with occasional dog emergencies

Do I belong on the keyboard? Absolutely not.
Did I just order 47 boxes of lick treats online? Unconfirmed.
Is it still “breaking and entering” if you’re adorable? Asking for a friend.
