Becca Koontz

I am a dedicated and knowledgeable veterinary professional with strong problem-solving skills and an organized approach to efficiency. I specialize in surgical assistance, radiology, and critical patient care.

As Lead Veterinary Assistant, I manage ICU admissions, oversee day-to-day hospital operations, and provide advanced onboarding and training for assistants and technicians. I regularly support the Managing DVM and Practice Manager to ensure smooth workflows across departments.

I administer and monitor patients under injectable sedation and general anesthesia, assist in general, dental, and orthopedic surgeries, and maintain quality control of diagnostic equipment including Antech/HESKA and IDEXX machines. I also oversee radiographic image quality control and coordinate send-out lab diagnostics.

I authored multiple hospital protocols and guides—ranging from CODE BLUE and CPR protocols to FIRE, ACTIVE SHOOTER, and technician handbooks—and serve as the primary liaison with orthopedic surgeons and technology vendors. I am seeking a role that allows growth beyond typical veterinary assistant duties.
