The reason Dr. Vigeant became a veterinarian is the same reason that Healing Paws Animal Hospital exists.
“My commitment to you and your pet is to deliver compassionate veterinary care and to create a loving and caring judgment-free zone for your well-being.”
Carrie Vigeant, D.V.M.
Dr. Vigeant is a mother to three boys, entrepreneur, wife, and foodie.
Perhaps this is the moment for which you were created. -Esther 4:14
Our staff of friendly and professional animal lovers is happy to provide the highest quality customer service for your beloved pet.
Rachel is our Practice Manager at Healing Paws, bringing a wealth of experience in customer service and behind-the-scenes operations. When she isn’t keeping everything running smoothly at work, you can find her planning her next great party or cozying up with a bag of popcorn, a warm cup of tea, and a classic Christmas movie. Fun Fact: Rachel has 11 chickens at home, adding a bit of barnyard charm to her life outside the clinic!
Cassie is a certified Veterinary technician that joined Healing Paws in April 2022. She has been working in the veterinary field since 2017. Cassie started as an assistant in emergency medicine than became a technician once she completed her schooling and decided to switch to general practice in the fall of 2021. Cassie is also certified in veterinary CPR. She enjoys weightlifting, watching football (go Steelers!), and spending time with her nephew. She also loves her cattle dog even when she can be a little crazy! Cassie loves that HPAH is fear-free so that we don’t push our patients too far and are considerate of how they feel. Fun Fact: You will rarely hear Cassie sneeze just once. Typically, it is more.
Meet Melody, a dedicated member of our team with five years of experience in the veterinary world. She’s a loving pet mom to three cats and two dogs, and in her free time, she enjoys cozying up with her furry companions while crocheting.
