MAGGIE WIDEMAN
Front Office Manager
As a devoted vet receptionist, I find joy in every wagging tail and gentle purr that enters our clinic. My days are filled with the bustling energy of animals and their loving owners, where I have the privilege of being the first point of contact in their journey to better health. My passion for animals extends beyond the clinic walls; I share my life with three delightful dogs—Lycan, a spirited Malinois mix that has spent the last 13.5 years by my side; Sullivan, a gentle Labradane mix who lives for cuddles; and Anya, a silly Doodle mix whose quirky personality keep me on my toes.
My furry family doesn’t stop there. I also share my heart with five fantastic felines: Louis de Pointe du Lac, a regal cat full of mystery; Gandalf, the wise old soul; Newland Archer, a dignified yet mischievous spirit; and the ever-quirky duo of Riker and Spock. These pets aren’t just my companions; they are my muses, inspiring me with their unique personalities and perspectives on life. When I’m not surrounded by the pitter-patter of paws, you’ll likely find me indulging in my love of horror movies, reading and the vibrant world of comic conventions.
