10 Questions Every Dog Owner Should Ask Their Vet
In March of 2020 Ann Lehman decided to retire after more than 40 years dedicated to Gaithersburg Animal Hospital. First as an employee of Doctor Lehman, then as the owner and then as an employee for Dr. Dan & Mike Berbert. She said she was trying to work on until she was 90 and except for COVID-19 she probalby would have.
We will celebrate with her at the hospital, but due to COVID only with current employees inside. If you would like to be a part of the celebration you can be "Curbside" on October the 28th at 1pm. So for all of you out there that would like to extend her well wishes please send a card or note for her to us before October 28th.
She has accomplished so much and changed a lot of our lives, let's let her know how special she is.
Thank you in advance.
