Client: “I can come anytime.”
Receptionist: “Great, how about 2pm?”
Client: “Oh, not then.”
And somehow… they still make it work. 💙

Happy Veterinary Receptionist's Week! You keep everything moving (and somehow know everything before the rest of us do).

Every. Single. Time.

On Sunday, SCVMA hosted an outstanding continuing education event featuring award-winning speaker Eric Garcia, who delivered an engaging and practical session on utilizing technology to exceed client expectations.

One of the key takeaways: a client’s experience begins long before they walk through your doors. It starts the moment they visit your website. Are your images warm, authentic, and reflective of the bond between your team, clients, and their pets? Or do they feel impersonal — stock photos of equipment and clinical spaces?

Eric guided attendees through strategies to strengthen first impressions, enhance communication, and ultimately improve client retention and appointment growth.

Great conversation, great turnout, and a strong reminder that how we show up—online and in person—matters more than ever.

Thank you to all who joined us for this impactful program. Many thanks for the continued support from Boehringer Ingelheim!!
