Karen Frederick - Practice Manager
"I moved to South Florida in 1981, after graduating high school in Massachusetts. I worked with plants for a long time and realized that I really had a passion to work with animals. I took my first job in 1993 as a kennel technician, then eventually gained the knowledge to be a veterinary technician. I started working for Village Royale Animal Clinic in 2002 as a receptionist and became office manager in 2005. I feel it gives me a better knowledge of all employees having worked all the aspects of the hospital. Outside of work I love spending time with my husband Samuel along with our 4 dogs. Salty my German Shepherd is a registered Therapy dog."
Cindy Carlson - Groomer
"My name is Cindy, and I am a Certified Master Groomer through the National Dog Groomers Association of America. I started in the early 1980's as a dog bather in a grooming shop located in Hollywood, FL. There I discovered that I had a talent for grooming and a natural "way" with the animals, so I chose to make it my career. I am an animal lover of all sizes big and small. I joined the staff at Village Royale Animal Clinic in 1997. Throughout the years I have continued my education in animal care and grooming; and I have also trained and worked as a veterinary technician. Having your pet groomed is a great preventative to many health problems. When I am not working, I enjoy riding and training my horse, playing with my 2 dogs, and hanging out with my 2 children."
