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. |

Kim joined Docton Animal Clinic in 2009. She is a graduate of Greeneview High School. She knew from an early age that she would enjoy a career in veterinary medicine. She grew up with a variety of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, sheep, turkeys, ducks, ferrets and a pet rat, which gave her a broad knowledge base. She has taken coursework in anatomy, pharmacology, surgical assistance, and more. Kim’s favorite part of veterinary medicine is helping a sick or injured pet recover. She is passionate about advocating for pets’ medical needs and truly enjoys forming bonds with pets and their owners. If you know Kim, you know she is a very friendly, outgoing and a positive person. She plans to continue to build and modify our Assistant Training Program, as she mentors our new veterinary assistants.

Madi has a great sense of humor and a strong work ethic. Originally from Elridge, Maryland, she now considers Ohio her home. Madi earned her Associates of Science degree in 2019, joining our team during the same year. Her favorite aspect of this field is getting to be a part of aiding in animals’ healing and helping those who love their pets.
With just 3 cats of her own, she is far from being considered a “crazy cat lady”, but if she could take every cat she meets home with her, she would! Thankfully, her cats Owl, Burrito, and Waffles allow her to get plenty of cat snuggles. In addition to loving her cats, she also recently adopted a Border Collie mix named Jack, who she enjoys taking on hikes along with her husband, Justin. Outside of work, Madi is also a skilled freelance photographer who specializes in creative portrait and pet photography. She is the talent behind all the staff photos featured on our website. |
For Jacky, a Xenia native, a career in veterinary medicine became clear after many years as a L.P.N. and years spent in a human medical office. Pets have always been some of the most important companions in her life, so her desire to learn more about helping pets fueled her interest in this field. She joined our practice in 2018 and still strives to learn, practice, and share animal knowledge with other pet owners so their pets can live healthy lives and they can have the best relationship. She enjoys our in-clinic educational meetings, as she is always looking to learn more and grow in her knowledge and skills.
A work/life balance is important to Jacky. She is an eclectic person who has a wide range of interests in life. First and foremost, she loves spending time with her husband and their animals. She also enjoys flower and herb gardening, studying and photographing wildlife, and has recently been trying to find time to restart her world of painting and sculpting that she left behind many years ago. She enjoys the country life with all animals -both tame and wild - on their Greene County farm, which includes Australian Shepherds: Lakota, Asa, Aponi, Luke, and Levi; cats: Josie, Brigid, Tinman, River, and Kai, along with a horse: Max, and eight chickens! |
Amanda has been a part of our team since 2018. For Amanda, an Enon native, every day at Docton is an interesting day. She learns something new and has the opportunity to advocate for patients who can't say what is wrong. For some reason, fate has it that she is often involved in assisting with the emergency ingestion of things pets eat. Sometimes this involves making the pet vomit and other times offering supportive treatment.
Amanda has been working towards her Diagnostic Medical Sonography degree at Clark State but continues to work on occasional Saturdays at Docton. Additionally, she enjoys cooking, baking, gardening, DIY projects, and anything that includes water sports (boating, parasailing, swimming). She has fun driving her Jeep Wrangler, having owned 3 in the past 7 years, and LOVES to take the doors and top off in the summertime. She shares her home with her spouse, Wyatt, and her cats Millie and Mitzi, the sassy one. |
Hailie, a proud Jamestown native, joined our team in 2020. She graduated in May 2022 with an Associate of Applied Science in Small Ruminant and Beef from The Ohio State University. She currently serves as President of the Greene County Sheep Committee and is involved in the local agricultural community. With extensive knowledge of both large and small animals, Hailie is a valuable asset to our team dual trained as a Veterinary Assistant and a Client Service Representative. You might find Hailie greeting you at the front desk or assisting with your pet during their appointment—either way, her passion for animal care always shines through.
At home, Hailie raises sheep for Greene County 4-H members and cares for a lively crew that includes her dogs—Tucker, Lanie, and Tatum—as well as a few barn cats. Her love for farm life is evident in everything she does, and that same dedication carries over into her work at the clinic. |

She joined our team in 2020 with previous experience as a veterinary receptionist and equine veterinary assistant. She earned her Veterinary Assistant Certificate through San Juan College online in 2019 and is currently pursuing a degree in Accounting at Clark State.

She has a strong interest in animal nutrition and manages our prescription diet inventory with great attention to detail.
She is especially devoted to elderly patients, hospice care, and end-of-life support, and has a particular soft spot for our feline friends - grumpy ones included.

These days, she enjoys mounted archery, baking, ice hockey, and gardening. She continues to rescue horses and cats whenever she's able.

Kaeler is a detail-oriented person with a fun, positive outlook on life. She does an outstanding job taking care of our clients and their pets, whether they are here for a wellness visit or a sick visit. She has been a part of our practice since 2020. Although Kaeler switched paths to pursue becoming an electrician and is now a member of IBEW local 82, she missed veterinary medicine so much she decided to come back to work with us on Saturdays! As she explains, “Have you ever met a patient in veterinary medicine that asks you to wipe their rear? Not exactly. I like veterinary medicine because we are here to help those who can’t voice their concerns and ailments. I love that it is a community of people who all have very similar interest and opinions on animal wellbeing, and the community and friendship that comes from that!" Her favorite part of veterinary medicine is helping misunderstood canines; she loves to help and handle the big dogs especially.
In her free time, Kaeler strives to exercise indoors and outdoors. She enjoys fishing and a good round of golf. Peso, her red Doberman Pinscher, is often by her side. |

Jayme's photo coming soon...
Originally from Kettering, Ohio, Jayme joined our team in October, bringing with her valuable experience from another veterinary clinic. A lifelong animal lover, she found her calling long before stepping into veterinary medicine. When asked what drives her passion, Jayme shared, “I am the one that the sick, injured, vulnerable stray cats and dogs come to when they need help. I have rescued a few dogs but found my niche rescuing cats. Once I had a few years in rescue, I thought it was time to move into the vet world. I wanted to see the other side of things. I am very compassionate about the animals’ medical care and welfare. With that, I love to educate pet owners on the importance of their medical care. I have a soft spot for kittens - that’s for sure.” Her favorite part of veterinary medicine is truly all of it, but wound care holds a special place in her heart. Jayme hopes to continue her education in the future and pursue her goal of becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, participating in Trap-Neuter-Release programs, spending time with friends, and caring for her many foster cats. In just three years of TNR work, she has trapped over 300 cats to be spayed/neutered and vaccinated—around 60 of which she helped transition from the streets into loving forever homes. Jayme resides with her husband, Hunter, and their five beloved pets: two dogs—Braxton and Ruby—and three cats—Dexter, Molly, and Sweetie. |
Customer Care Specialist
|
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 grown into additional roles within the practice and now 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. Her attention to detail and her talent for multitasking make her an invaluable part of our support team. 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. |
Practice Manager
|
Tiffany began her career with Docton immediately following high school graduation. She worked as a veterinary assistant throughout college and graduated from Wright State University with a Bachelor of Science in Middle Childhood Education with a focus on Mathematics in 2004. She completed her Masters of Education in 2005. She continued working at Docton while taking several long-term substitute positions at nearby schools. When a career in the education field didn't come to fruition, she was offered a full-time position as office manager.
Tiffany went on to earn her Certificate in Veterinary Practice Management from St. Petersburg College in 2013. She then achieved the title of Certified Veterinary Practice Manager in 2014 after completing the necessary requirements and sitting for a national test, as designated by the Veterinary Hospital Managers Association. She is one of approximately 1,000 CVPMs nationwide. She enjoys the variety a veterinary office offers and rarely misses an opportunity to gush over puppies and kittens, although she has a particular soft spot for our more "senior" patients. She resides with her husband, Brandon, and two sons on a Greene County farm. She shares her home with an orange and white cat, "Tater"; a Rottweiler, "Yelta", a spunky black and white cat name Lazarus for his near death experience as a 3 week old kitten, "Bandit", a black cat rescued as an underweight, starving kitten off the bike path, and 2 barn cats: Fluffy and Precious.

Human Resource Manager
|
Katie's photo coming soon...
Originally from Jamestown, Ohio, Katie studied large animal production at The Ohio State University Agricultural Technical Institute before joining our team in September as our Human Resources Manager. When asked why she is passionate about veterinary medicine, she shared, “Being able to help animals and livestock live their best lives is what I am passionate about. I always dreamed of being a veterinarian, so being able to become a part of the Docton team is just fantastic!” For Katie, the best part of working in veterinary medicine is being able to spend her days around animals. As she settles into her new role, she looks forward to learning every aspect of the clinic, supporting the needs of our staff, and getting to know our clients and their pets. With our practice continuing to grow, Katie’s expertise in human resources - ranging from employee support and workplace communication to hiring, training, and fostering a healthy and positive work culture - comes at the perfect time, and we’re thrilled to have her guiding these efforts. Outside of work, Katie enjoys spending time with her family on their farm, camping, and encouraging her children as they pursue their own dreams within the livestock industry—a passion that has long been shared by her entire family. She resides on the family farm with her husband, Mike, and their children, Craig and Liz. She is also the proud “grandma” to her Grand-dogs Sully and Buzz, as well as her Grand-kitty, Avocado. |
Clinic Cat
|
Margot, also known as Marge or Large Marge, wandered into our lives in July 2024 after being rescued in Jamestown looking rougher than a Monday morning. With large wounds, a maggot infestation, and weighing in at over 20 pounds, she was a full-time project and part-time potato. Thanks to Dr. Emily and the rest of the heroic Docton team, Margot received spa treatments of warm water soaks and honey therapy until she was feeling herself again (just slightly less sticky).
After graduating from Docton Animal Clinic's rescue program on August 1st, 2024, Margot earned her badge as our official clinic cat. She's now living her best semi-retired life, working diligently on her weight loss journey—mostly through passive cardio (watching others walk around). Margot is passionate about veterinary medicine because it allows her to nap while surrounded by hardworking humans. Her favorite parts of the job include complimentary meals, endless affection from staff and clients, and the great company of our assistants, technicians, and doctors. She has made it a professional commitment to being directly in the way at all times—especially in our reception area. In her free time, Margot enjoys a good nap, quality control of food bowls, and giving judgmental stares to passing dogs. Her future plans involve absolutely no movement and an ongoing quest to become a speed bump with fur. |
