Nico exemplifies what makes Boca Veterinary Clinic special. He was brought in after being hit by a car. He was severely injured and in shock. The staff did triage, all the necessary lab work, x-rays and ultrasounds, stabilized him, replaced his prolapsed eye and performed major wound care and surgery. Weeks later he is almost completely recovered. “Nico is alive in large part due to how we function and the way we practice medicine,” says Dr. Lesley Hack, DVM.
While some team members dropped what they were doing to respond to the emergency, others looked after other patients. Dr. Hack’s staff is the key to her success in running a hospital that does almost every aspect of vet care under one roof and is open seven days a week.
Whether your cat or dog needs wellness, sick or urgent care or surgery, Boca Veterinary Clinic is your one-stop shop with its six doctors and 40 employees. You seldom have to wait long to schedule a procedure, they accept emergencies and you can usually get same-day or next-day appointments.
Her method for hiring highly skilled staff can be summed up in CARE: CAPABLE, with a range of expertise; AUTHENTIC – real people because we deal with real problems; RESPONSIVE to the needs of the pet and their owner and EMPATHETIC individuals who understand what people and pets are going through.
“I’ve been doing this for 40 years. I think the more pain and suffering you experience the more compassion you develop. I’m an empath and I want staff that is too,” says Dr. Hack. Boca Veterinary Clinic stands out in its follow up after procedures via calls and texts. “We check back with owners to see how they and the pets are doing,” says Dr. Hack.
She says her staff is much like a football team, where each member has a unique strength critical to the whole. As a blend of coach and quarterback, she believes that great CARE ensures that the pet is always the winner.
