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."
