What are the responsibilities and job description for the Customer Service Representative (CSR)/Receptionist position at Sommers Veterinary Hospital?
Sommers Veterinary Hospital is a family owned, mixed animal practice that serves the needs of animals ranging from household pets, backyard farm animals to livestock production animals. We prioritize our practice culture, patient health and the client's experience above all else. This makes both our team, and our clients feel as if we are one community, and even at times family. If this is something you feel is important to you, then we believe you may be a good fit for our team.
Silver Lake is about 12 miles South of Warsaw, IN and less than an hour from Fort Wayne. There is plenty of entertainment in our area, ranging from relaxing on the lake, biking and enjoying good food on the shore of Winona Lake. Silver Lake is close enough to larger cities to visit bigger department stores, but still far enough away to provide a quiet country feeling lifestyle. We hope you choose to be a part of our community.
