Support Staff
Starla came to the clinic in 1976 as a kennel attendant
for the clinic's original owner, Dr. Lien. She graduated from Pierce
College as a Veterinary Technician. After 25 years at the clinic, she
has filled almost every role except doctor. Today she is the head
receptionist, a licensed veterinary technician, and our office manager.
She simply does it all and does it all well. She has two children and a
beloved pot bellied pig named Edward. Starla has the dubious
distinction of having more pets than any other staff member - 11 all
together.
