MEG has a long history of working for Old Dominion Animal Hospital. She came to work here while attending The University of Virginia, moved away briefly after graduation, but has been back part-time ever since. She is a great help to us, as she knows all our hospital's positions. You might find her answering phones, admitting or discharging patients, running lab work, or assisting the veterinarians during an office visit. Her career keeps her busy, but she still finds time to come help out with the animals. When not working, Meg is an avid gardener and enjoys growing flowers and vegetables.

Bookkeeper

CYNTHIA has been a long time employee of Old Dominion Animal Hospital. As our bookkeeper she not only handles all our mail and does our accounts payables, but she also processes all of our payroll activities. Cynthia lives in Nelson County with her husband and an entire family of pets. She is a member of the board of The Companion Animal Fund and still finds time to run her own dog walking business, ROVER RECESS. If you need someone to walk your dog during the day while you're at work, ROVER RECESS can help.

Hospital Caretaker

DEVER has been taking care of the building at Old Dominion Animal Hospital almost as long as Dr. Wood has been practicing and we don't think he has ever missed a day. Each and every day he comes in and helps keep us straight. The hospital couldn't operate without him and the animals enjoy his friendly, soothing voice. Outside of work, Dever is very close to his family, and keeps planning that trip to Jamaica.
