Support Professionals
Every member of our team plays a vital role in the care of your pet. We are very selective in who we choose to carry out the mission of Bush Veterinary Neurology Service. Each member of the team is highly trained in their particular area and BVNS dedicates time for each team member to continue to advance their skills. We are proud of the dedication and talent our people demonstrate day in and day out and we take pride in the exceptional care they are driven to deliver.
Among those responsible for leading the team are:
Christine Stafford
Director of Operations
Christine is a hands-on administrator with broad based managerial and leadership experience.
Early in her career she worked for a software development company which came in especially handy as she took the reins at VIA, the practice management software division of Eklin Medical Systems. For two years she lead the team through the most extensive upgrades and enhancements in their history, adding advanced functionality with an open standards platform for the highest and best scalability. Prior to Eklin, Christine assumed the administrator role of a struggling overnight shareholder owned emergency hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada. In less than four years she more than quadrupled revenues and built a stable roster of quality personnel by creating innovative employee training and benefit programs. She has extensive knowledge and a passion for developing processes and workflow for maximum efficiency and establishing high standards of care. In January 2009 Christine joined BVNS where she thrives on developing sound operational systems to support the rapid growth of the practice, ultimately bringing exceptional quality neurology care to more pets and their families. Christine has an acute understanding of what it takes to run a busy practice and is enjoying her new home in Frederick, Maryland that is overrun by her yellow lab, Cooper, and her domestic short hair, Samantha.
Sara Unbehagen
Client Care Supervisor
Sarah has been with BVNS since September of 2007. Her role as Client Care Supervisor suits her well because she loves working with pet owners and of course, their pets. She takes particular interest in making sure each client receives a level of service that will be truly memorable. Outside of work Sarah stays busy with studying since she is taking courses to prepare her for veterinary school. She loves to cook, play the violin and spend time with her fiancé, James, their two dogs, Sampson and Mitzi, and two crazy cats, Earl and Scratch.
Diana Stuebing, LVT
Head Technician
While at Virginia Tech Diana discovered her passion for veterinary medicine. She started out as an assistant and quickly discovered that she wanted to be a Licensed Veterinary Technician when she grew up. While still in school, she was hired by BVNS in the summer of 2008 for an internship. Her commitment and skills were apparent so Diana was offered a full time position to return in May 2009 after graduation. Outside of work she loves to bake, watch football (Go Hokies!!), and spend time with her husband, Dave, and son, Aidan.
