Amber Brooks
Client Care Specialist
Amber joined our staff in 2015 and is on hand to offer a warm welcome to our patients and their two-legged parents. Her favorite task is to make our fuzzy friends feel at home.
"Everyone here is so caring and hard-working! Our clients are amazing and seem more like friends," Amber says.
Amber has three dogs: a Pekingese named Ellie, Mona her very silly Pitbull, and Louann, a Lab-Golden mix (who seems a bit ADHD). She recently passed our ridiculously stringent conditions to adopt our darling hospital kitty, Lincoln. In her free time, she enjoys running, fishing, and hanging out with her husband and son.
