This Vet Tech Refused to Stay Invisible—Now She's Opening a Jaw-Dropping Art Deco Clinic That's Changing Everything
Shannon Gervais, RVT, is bringing her vision for veterinary care to life. Set to open next month, Nova Veterinary represents years of experience, passion, and purpose distilled into one stunning clinic. Teaming up with veterinarian Dr. Daniel McClair, Shannon is creating a practice that's as dazzling with its art deco style as it is revolutionary in its approach to customer care.
Nova: A Name Born from Love
The clinic's name comes from Shannon's beloved dog, Nova—a fitting tribute that reflects the personal passion driving this venture. But Nova Veterinary is more than a namesake; it's the culmination of everything Shannon has learned throughout her career in veterinary nursing, pharmaceutical sales, marketing, and practice consulting.
Where Art Deco Elegance Meets Exceptional Care
Nova Veterinary isn't your typical animal clinic. The stunning art deco design creates an atmosphere that's both sophisticated and welcoming, setting a new standard for what a veterinary practice can be. Shannon believes that the environment where care happens matters deeply—not just for patients and their families, but for the team delivering that care.
Working alongside Dr. Daniel McClair, Shannon is building a practice centered on exceptional customer service and a workplace culture where veterinary professionals thrive. The clinic operates on a principle Shannon has championed throughout her career: when employees feel valued and supported, that positive energy translates directly into better outcomes for patients.
Making Veterinary Technicians Visible
At the heart of Nova Veterinary is Shannon's passionate mission to elevate veterinary technologists in a profession where they often remain invisible. Despite being integral to quality patient care, vet techs frequently work behind the scenes without the recognition they deserve. At Nova, Shannon is ensuring her team of technicians will be celebrated, supported, and empowered from day one.
This commitment reflects Shannon's own journey as an RVT and her understanding of how crucial these professionals are to excellent veterinary care. She's creating a model where veterinary technicians aren't just part of the team—they're recognized as essential pillars of the practice.
Opening Next Month: A New Vision for Veterinary Care
As Nova Veterinary prepares to open its doors next month, Shannon Gervais is proving that veterinary clinics can be both beautiful and purposeful, profitable and humane. From the art deco elegance to the customer-focused care model to the celebration of veterinary technicians, Nova Veterinary represents a bold reimagining of what's possible in veterinary medicine—where compassion for animals and the professionals who care for them drives every decision.
