“As an Area Medical Director, I’m visiting hospitals and I’m there for my teams, but also working from home. My schedule affords me flexibility as a new mom. I feel empowered by my leadership team to adjust my schedule as needed, and it’s honestly such a sense of freedom to balance work and life in a way that works best for me.”
Dr. Elyse Pendergast
Area Medical Director
“Petco has had such a positive impact on quality of life since day one. I am home for dinner with my kids every night…I am able to support my partner…my schedule has enabled us to have more quality time together and strengthen our bond as a family.”
Dr. Nicci Fisher
Hospital Medical Leader
“Practicing autonomous medicine is important to me. It allows me to provide the best care possible for my patients. For example, I prefer to carry Purevax for cats. Vetco has been supportive of this from the beginning, as well as carrying alfaxolone which allows me to really tailor my anesthetic plan to each individual patient.”
Dr. Zaya McSky
