How to be a good veterinary receptionist?

It takes administrative skills as well as compassion to be a good Veterinary Receptionist. As the first face the client sees at the vet, your professional service skills set the tone for the visit. You represent the doctor and the practice. Some clients may be distressed if their pet is in pain or is injured. You must make sure that the animal is checked in, in the queue for the doctor, and all paperwork is organized while communicating with emotional patients.
