Meet the Team

Our white glove treatment is not just for our clientele and patients, but also for our team. Dr. Josh’s goal is to bring together a team that not only loves what they do but is also heard and cherished. He wants his team to be together as a family for many years to come.

This is why we have also focused on building a safe and amazing environment for everyone. Sadly, we tend to see compassion fatigue and excessive work stress with veterinary medical team members. With Isla Veterinary Boutique Hospital, we want to establish a trend where the team is valued as much as our clientele and we strive to think outside the box to offer outstanding care to our team as well. Dr. Josh also supports and promotes an environment where his team pursues continued education and further training. At Isla, we believe in fostering education for our clients as well as having the most competent and confident team possible.

Iridian

Hospital Administrator

Greetings, y’all! My name is Iridian and I am very excited to meet your babies and you! Where to start? I was born and raised here in Dallas, TX and for as long as I can remember, I have always been passionate about helping people and their animals. I have an A.A.S. in Veterinary Technology and I practiced as a Veterinary Technician for a few years before I became the Hospital Administrator here at Isla Vet. 

I have a fun-sized Chihuahua fur baby named Chloe and she has been my best friend for 14 years and counting! Sometimes she can be spicy, but she loves her Isla Vet Family. When I am not working, I spend quality time with my family, laughing, eating, and/or watching a good movie! 

As a pet parent, I know it is hard to find a veterinary hospital with team members that listen to not only you as a pet parent, but also tend to your pet’s special and unique needs. Here at Isla Veterinary Boutique Hospital, we strive to make your fur child and you feel at home. I also love providing excellent customer service to our clients and treating their babies as if they were my own. As Hospital Administrator, I will do my best to make every visit with us meaningful and memorable. I cannot wait to meet y’all soon!

Client Service Specialist

Hola! I moved to the states from Puerto Rico in 2017 and as far as I can remember, I have always being passionate about helping others and I have always had a caring instinct towards animals. I am so glad that Isla Vet gave me the opportunity to do both!
 
As a Client Service Specialist, I assist all of our dear clients with the necessary information to keep our patients healthy. I am very happy to be part of the Isla Vet family and to achieve my dream of helping and assisting others. I can’t express enough my gratitude towards the team here at Isla for opening their arms and welcoming me. I feel lucky to be part of a hospital and team that values helping others the way we do and that provides the highest level of care to our patients!
 
I have 2 fur babies, which are my absolute everything! An almost 2 year old dog named Atticus and my sweet 4 year old cat Olive. When I'm not at work, you can find me on a daily run with my doggo, reading, or learning something new.

Hayley

Veterinary Nurse

Hello! My name is Hayley! My journey in the animal field started from a young age on my family’s south Texas ranch. At times taking care of multiple dogs, cats and even bun buns!

Growing up I worked my way up in the animal field from a kennel assistant to a manager of a local animal shelter. From there I transitioned into the vet tech field and have been helping animals medically since 2015!

I have two kitties of my own at the moment – Presto and Peachy, who are the lights of my life. From my home life to my work life, I put my all in everything I do. As a veterinary nurse at Isla, I take pride in my work and promise to always treat your fur babies as if they were my own.

Being patient and really listening to both you and your babies is what our team at Isla strives for. I know when you come in for your first visit, you and your pets will quickly feel at home. Can’t wait to meet you!
