“Dublin is really a special hospital with a very unique team. I would imagine most personalities drawn to our field are passionate, empathetic, caring, and type-A-perfectionist. The Dublin team is so much more than other teams I have experienced. We are cohesive. We care so much for our patients, their humans, and our team members. We care about good medicine; we go the extra mile. Yet, we are actively embracing changes to find balance. We are silly and are known to have yoga positions posted on the wall and fun-Friday quizzes with prizes. In my 22 years as a DVM I have worked emergency, relief work, acupuncture, and rehab at a referral orthopedic hospital, and general practice so I have a good amount of experience with several different hospitals. Dublin is somehow just special.” – Michelle Smith, DVM
