🌟Honoring Dr. Miranda and Looking Ahead🌟
Dr. Miranda has made the personal decision to step away from Richmond Animal Hospital and veterinary medicine. Her last day with us will be September 4.
We are grateful for the compassion, dedication, and care she has provided to our patients and their families throughout her time with us, and we wish her all the best moving forward.
Effective immediately, Dr. Miranda will no longer be accepting new clients. She will continue caring for her current patients through September 4. Myself and our team will assume care of her patients after her departure. Operationally, there will be no changes to patient care, and clients can expect the same high standard of veterinary medicine and service they have always received from Richmond Animal Hospital.
While we do not know what the future may hold, Dr. Miranda has shared that if she decides to return to veterinary medicine, her hope would be to return to Richmond Animal Hospital. Any such decision would be announced at a later date.
Dr. Miranda will always be a valued part of our veterinary family here at Richmond Animal Hospital, and we are deeply grateful for her contributions during the early chapters of our hospital's history since we purchased it last October.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the clinic to speak to myself directly.
Thank you for your continued trust and support. We hope to see you in the clinic or around the community soon.🐾❤️
—Dr. Nick Sherman
