As an aspiring veterinarian, she has always carried a passion for animal health and welfare, and that is evident in her compassionate care towards our patients and their humans alike.

Caitlin O'Neil
Practice Manager
Hello! My name is Caitlin, and I have been with Walnut Street Animal Hospital since 2017. I started out as a receptionist and after being with this practice for a year, I was promoted to Manager and transferred to our sister location, Capital Blvd Animal Hospital. I absolutely loved the experience of opening a new clinic and getting acquainted with all of the rescues.
I am now being transferred to our newest location, Maynard Animal Hospital, as Manager and will be working very closely with the rescues. I admire the work the rescues do, and since being with this practice, I adopted three rescue kiddos of my own, Dumbo Jr (a cat), Snowflake (a dog), and Reese's (a dog). When I am not at work I am spending pool days with my human kiddos and/or watching Trolls on repeat.

Cristina Lanzon
Veterinary Assistant
Hey! My name is Cris. (With no 'h'. That's important!)
Born and raised in Michigan, I moved to North Carolina on a whim and have been with Maynard Animal Hospital for almost a year. I had only been working in the veterinary field for around six months when Maynard took me on as an assistant, and I couldn't be happier. I enjoy working here so much (even on stressful days), and I adore my coworkers to my core. There's really not much more I could ask for in a workplace.
While I don't currently have any kiddos of my own, you'll often hear me talk about my family dogs, a 14-year-old Jack Russell Brussel Griffon named Lucky and a 5-year-old Havanese named Castiel (Cas for short). Those two single-pawedly jumpstarted my undying love for little dogs, and having dogs all my life definitely played a role in my interest in veterinary medicine. I love them both to bits and miss them every day. Thankfully, my mom keeps me updated with frequent pictures, who knows what I'd do otherwise.

Outside of work, you can usually find me playing video games with my friends, writing silly convoluted stories, singing a LOT (I must drive my coworkers crazy; Bless their hearts!), reading manga, or watching anime. Gotta enjoy the simple things in life, right?
It's been such an exhilarating experience getting to know and work with our amazing clientele and their precious kiddos. I've already learned an incredible amount in my short time here, and I'm so excited to continue to cultivate my breadth of knowledge to help provide as best care to your babies as I possibly can!

Tiffany Cox
Receptionist
Hi everyone, my name is Tiffany and I am a CSR at Maynard Animal Hospital. This has been a long time dream of mine to be able to work within an Animal Hospital. I worked in retail and retail management for over twenty years. I believe this has equipped me with the knowledge to better understand and assist our clients and patients. I have always had animals in my life, from growing up with cats, dogs, rabbits, birds and hamsters to all my five current fur doggies. My oldest is Mickey a PeekaPom, Ruby a Cavalier King Charles, Finley Oliver a Blenheim Cavalier, Piper is a Tri Cavalier(Mommy's girl), and the baby of the group(still the biggest) is Sunday Blue a Silver lab.
