Ben - Practice Manager - Johns Creek

 BEN – Practice Manager

Though I enjoy working with all the animals we see at the clinic, my favorite animals to care for are the reptiles. Lately, I have been learning the more technical aspect of treating animals.  I am currently attending college to further advance my career in veterinary medicine. As the Practice Manager, my goal is to do my very best to assure the Staff & our patients are all happy and the clinic is running harmoniously.

Delanie

 Delanie – Veterinary Technician

I am the Resident Veterinary Technician. I have always had a love for reptiles, birds and furry friends too. I currently have two snakes and Diego, a Yellow-Headed Amazon. I have a huge heart that allows me to care for every animal, whether scaled, furry or feathered.


Dani

 Dani – Veterinary Assistant

I completed my school’s Internship program with Windward Animal Hospital and my love of animals helped me to decide to become a permanent part of the team. My favorite part of the job is seeing animals do a 180 after treatment. It makes me feel as if we made a difference.


 Bri- Veterinary Assistant

I was raised in southern California surrounded by many different animals in all shapes and sizes. When my family and I moved into the South, I decided to make them my career and get as much experience as I could. I love working with Dr. Colby and the staff at Windward Animal Hospital.


 Giovanni – Veterinary Assistant

I was born and raised in Texas and moved to Georgia in 2014. I have always loved animals since I was 5 years old and knew I wanted to dedicate my life to helping animals feel better. I had many wonderful pets growing up such as Chihuahuas, Sugar bears, Bearded dragons and so much more!


 Enjoli – Veterinary Assistant

I moved to Georgia in 2023 from Maryland (raised on the playground is where I spent most of my days). I have been working with animals since 2019; starting at a dog daycare then moving to shelter work and finally making my way to animal medicine. I am building upon my knowledge with exotics here at Windward.  


John

John – Kennel Technician

I love see the varying animals that come through our doors. I am knowledgeable about the animals that we see and their wild counterparts. I love to play with the puppies and kittens whenever time allows. I dedicate my time to making sure the animals stay safe and are well cared for while at the clinic.
