More than veterinary care providers, we are part of your family.

Veronica initially found her passion for the animal care field after stumbling upon a position at Banfield Pet Hospital as a Pet Counselor and quickly moved up the corporate ladder, eventually landing the title as Practice Manager. It was during her time there that she met the wonderful Dr. Valeriy Andreyev. Veronica became comfortable with Dr. Andreyev and valued his medical practice and business ethics. It was no wonder when Dr. Andreyev made the decision to open his very first practice, there would be no better fit than Veronica Cruz as his right hand.

One of Veronica’s goals is to expand the Eco Deco Pet Hospital brand into a chain of hospitals to better serve the community and their pet needs. In addition, she plans on becoming a Veterinarian Consultant who develops the veterinary business, assisting practice owners, and helping them become successful by building on the team’s skills.

When not at the office managing the hospital’s team and flow, Veronica is pursuing her Bachelor's Degree in Human Resources & Supervision at Broward College. She has already completed her 48 hours of continuing education credits with Patterson Veterinary Management University, in the hopes of becoming a Certified Veterinary Practice Manager this year.

While it may be true that most of her time is dedicated to serving our client and patient’s needs, Veronica enjoys spending her time outside the hospital tanning and soaking up the sun at the beach, as well as getting lost in a great book. She owns 3 rescued dogs, Reef, Bait and Shrimp.

Since she was little, she always dreamed of becoming a vet. She temporarily put that dream on hold when she realized there were so many other ways to help animals. As a patient coordinator, she gets a little bit of both worlds – clients and pets. Her favorite thing about working with animals has to be their different personalities and how they always seem to remember us when they come in through our doors! Irisana knew she was in the right professional when she realized that although she wasn’t a morning person, when it came to work she would wake up so easily in the mornings. Every day that she wakes up her work motivates her because she loves what she does.

Outside of work, Irisana is a quiet girl who likes to be holed up in her room reading a good book or listening to some good music. She likes to write, sing, and hang out with her pets for the most part.

Her passion for animals started at a very young age. Since she was 3 years old she has always wanted to work in the veterinary industry. Stephanie’s favorite thing about working with animals is that they are unable to speak for themselves and through educating pet parents on the importance of preventive care we are able to help them have their needs met in order for them to live longer and healthier lives. When waking up to go to work was no longer just a responsibility, but something she looked forward to every day, Stephanie knew she was in the right profession.

Stephanie’s background is Brazilian, where she lived for 3 years and attended 1 year of Veterinary School before moving back to Miami. In Miami she attained her AS as a Veterinary Technician and passed the boards to become a certified veterinary technician. Stephanie enjoys spending time with her two shih thus named Ruby and Jade, king of a cat Onyx, rescue chihuahua-something Pebbles, and big boy Kane.

Her passion for animals started at a young age and her goal is to apply for veterinary school. Ashley’s favorite thing about working with animals is the challenge of not being able to speak with your patient. No other field brings Ashley the same joy she gets from working with her furry patients!

Ashley has a Doberman called Walter, who is the best. She loves to workout and is a big fan of Gator Football!
