Client Service Representatives

Lead CSR

Marion has always enjoyed working with people. She is so happy to have found a new passion through veterinary medicine - helping people help their pets. Marion joined our team in 2021 and has been brightening our lives ever since with her contagious laugh and upbeat personality! She especially loves expanding her animal knowledge each day and then sharing that knowledge with owners. Marion first joined our team supporting both patients in exam rooms and assisting reception at the front desk. In 2025, she stepped into the role of Lead Client Services Representative. While she now focuses on guiding and supporting our front desk team, you'll still occasionally find her lending a hand in exam rooms with patients.
Originally from Miamisburg, Marion now resides in Dayton with her partner, Mike. She has 4 crazy cats: Stevie Mitts, Smoggy Moon, Steale Metal, and Sneakers. Stevie, Smoggy, and Steale are big, fluffy Maine Coons. In her free time, she enjoys immersing herself in nature by traveling, hiking, and camping. One fun thing she did recently was got her motorcycle license, so if you see a cool motorcycle in the parking lot, you know she’s at work, ready to help your pet!

Jeri has been a valued member of our front desk team since 2009! She is from Coldwater, Ohio and currently resides in Vandalia. We are thankful she makes the drive to be a friendly face at our front desk. Jeri loves to assist clients, in person or on the phone, and finds satisfaction knowing that every day she has done everything possible to make pets and their families feel cared for and loved. Her Associates Degree in Paralegal has served her well in the daily communications she facilitates between clients and our doctors. She strives to care for the animals that cannot care for themselves and she enjoys learning from our doctors and technicians so that she can continue to address client concerns. A random fun fact about Jeri is that she was a competitive swimmer year-round from age 8 to 18 years old, so it’s no surprise that she LOVES the beach.
With husband Tony, and children Morgan and Troy, she enjoys family vacations to enjoy the ocean and fun in the sun. Locally, she likes to go hiking with her family and three dogs, including two Golden Retrievers, Lacey and Oliver; and a mixed breed Otis.

      Katherine is our self-confessed “phone chick” and was initially hired to answer phone calls and facilitate the influx of client questions and concerns. She came from a strong background with animals: breeding and showing Bearded Collies since she was a teen, earning her title of Master Groomer, and working for many years in another animal hospital. This strong and varied background, coupled with a Bachelor’s in Communications, means she can more than adequately handle the variety of phone calls we receive each day. She will tell you that her favorite part of veterinary medicine is talking to pet owners. She aims to listen to their questions and concerns so she can secure the answers or products they need. Being a supporting member of our team means she is able to help care for patients who cannot speak for themselves.
      Since joining our team in 2011, she has held multiple roles within the practice but currently works as a back-office customer care specialist. In this position, she helps with behind-the-scenes communication, client support, and administrative tasks that keep the clinic running smoothly.
      Though a military brat, Katherine’s family moved to Fairborn in her teens, and she has resided in Greene County ever since. She lives with her husband, Tim, and three Bearded Collies: Adam, Peggy Sue, and Lulu. Besides attending dog shows, Katherine enjoys crocheting and being a self-proclaimed “total nerd.” If your pet is named after a movie or book character, she will likely get the reference.

Sandy is a Registered Veterinary Technician and proud Pennsylvania native that brings over two decades of experience and knowledge to our team. She graduated from the Bel Rea Institute in Colorado in 1999. She began her journey with Docton in 2002 under Dr. Bill Imperial and, after working here off and on, officially returned "home" and rejoined our team in 2022! During her time away, she spent 13 years in animal research, deepening her knowledge and passion for animal care. Sandy is especially interested in holistic and alternative medicine. Her friendliness and wealth of knowledge make her a true asset to the front desk!
Outside of work, Sandy enjoys visiting Pennsylvania as often as possible. She loves spending time outside, and prefers to be anywhere with a beautiful mountain range! She also enjoys spending time with her husband and three Beagle mixes, Dot, Barnabas, and EB (Everything Bagel).
