Meet our Doctors!

Michelle- (Office Administrator) Michelle joined Green Paws in May of 2013 after working five years in the same animal emergency room as both Dr. Gallegos and Dr. Marcotte. She currently runs the front desk and keeps the Green Paws website up to date. She was happy to make the change from seeing critical cases every night to seeing puppies and kittens on a regular basis! In her spare time Michelle spends time with “Muppet” the Pekingese (you’ve probably seen him manning the front desk with his momma!) and her three cute kitties.
