After 17 years of delegating from our front desk, our receptionist has decided it is time to retire.

Tricia Equid began with us in 2005.  At that time, she would drop her children at school on the way in, organise the family sporting and meals schedule and attend to broken bones-which there were a lot of, with 3 boys.  Over the years we have seen her family dynamics change, she became a support person for her parents, her children became adults and now the world centres around 3 grandsons.

The main thing we notice about Tricia is she’s “unflustered”.  No matter what happens in our day she takes it in her stride.  We can be manically busy, low on staff, phones chaotic, but Tricia still plods along unphased.  She gives the same standard of service to everyone, is not rushed and has time to take a genuine interest in her work colleagues.

  • Seizure disorders (including Epilepsy)
  • Heart Disease
  • Diabetes

In some cases, medications can control the signs of chronic illness so completely that pet owners sometimes mistakenly believe their pet has been cured and discontinue medication only to see the clinical signs reappear.
