ABOUT NICOLE GANDY
Dental Technician
Hello, my name is Nicole Gandy and I’m a non-anesthetic dental technician with over 12 years of servicing Southern California under the supervision of local veterinarians. I discovered my passion for working with animals years ago and have spent the last 19 years dedicated to working with our fur babies. My favorite part of the job is that it’s very rewarding. I feel like what I do is highly beneficial to our pets. We don’t have to use anesthesia and our pets have their health needs met. It’s also more affordable. My aim is to create a calm and inviting environment providing an alternative option for pet owners. During our visit, I’ll explain the process carefully to parents and I notate changes on a behavioral chart to understand their behavior over time with each visit. My process is highly methodical. I will tailor any special needs and go over aftercare instructions in detail. I have extensive experience working with all kinds of pets especially those who have a difficult time sitting still. I also work with cats because they too need their teeth professionally cleaned from time to time.
Please take a look at my extensive experience below. References are also available upon request.
