As a Southmoreland graduate, Dr. Giacopetti is known by most locals as Dr. Chez. Dr. Chez attended Saint Vincent University for his undergraduate education, where he majored in Biology. After graduation, he attended Ross University for his veterinary education. He fulfilled his clinical year in Australia, where he developed a love for exotic animal medicine. Since then, Dr. Chez has been treating all manner of pets in the local area, and was able to fulfil his dream of becoming a practice owner in 2021 when he purchased the Scottdale Veterinary Clinic. He plans to continue the local legacy of the Clinic, while continuing to provide care for all pets, large, small, and creepy-crawly!

Rebecca has been with us for YEARS and honestly, we don’t know what we’d do without her! She wears more hats than anyone — from front desk superstar to skilled technician, from keeping our machines running to handling all the billing magic behind the scenes. Rebecca truly does it all, and she somehow does it with grace and patience.
She is a Penn State grad with degrees in Veterinary Biomedical Sciences and Toxicology, and has been working in VetMed since 2012.

Outside of work, she’s a devoted mom to two amazing girls and has the greenest thumb around. Her love for plants and her stunning floral arrangements bring so much beauty and life wherever she goes. Her pets include a dog, a cat, and four horses.

Becky is a graduate of the Vet Tech Institute and is our Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT), Head Technician, and Office Manager — the one who keeps everything running smoothly! She wears countless hats around the clinic. Becky has been a cornerstone of our team for almost 9 years, and her knowledge, dedication, and leadership shine through every single day. Becky is also our surgery technician. If your pet has had surgery she makes sure your pet is safe under anesthesia throughout the procedure.
Outside of the clinic, Becky loves spending time with her daughter and enjoying the outdoors. Her compassion for animals, her support for her team, and her commitment to excellence make her an incredible leader and an essential part of the Scottdale Veterinary Clinic family.

Katie has been part of our Scottdale Veterinary Clinic family since 2022, and we honestly can’t imagine the place without her! She’s loud, funny, compassionate, and one of the hardest workers you’ll ever meet. Known around here as the cat wrangler and toe-nail trimming queen, Katie tackles every task with confidence and a smile. Katie is also our recovery technician, so if your pet has had surgery with us she’s the one who makes sure your pets recovery is smooth and gets all the meds and discharge instructions together.
Outside of work, she continues her passion for animals by running her very own cat rescue, As They Come Animal Rescue, where she helps countless kitties find loving homes and is big on TNR. And when she’s not working or rescuing cats, you’ll probably find her rocking out at a metal concert!

Johanna is the calm to our clinic’s chaos — though she’s never afraid to join in on the fun! Before joining our team, Johanna was a veterinarian in Ecuador, and we are so lucky to benefit from her incredible knowledge and experience. She’s smart, compassionate, and always eager to learn and grow.

Johanna is known for her big heart and her care for every single patient. She’s the one making sure every animal gets fed and never misses a treat. If your pet is staying with us, you can bet Johanna will do everything she can to make sure they’re comfortable, loved, and well-fed. In her spare time she is an amazing pet mom and loves to travel.

Gabby is one of those people who can make anyone laugh — and we wouldn’t have it any other way! She started with us as a receptionist many years ago and worked her way up to become a talented technician. Gabby is smart, compassionate, and always ready to lend a hand (or pull a prank!) to keep the clinic laughing through the chaos. Gabby will educate you and guide you through your appointment and answer any questions you have. She is also one of our surgery technicians!

Outside of work, Gabby is a loving mom to two amazing kids, as well as a handful of rescue pets, and her big heart shines both at home and in the clinic.

Emily is one of our amazing receptionists who’s also cross-trained as a technician — talk about versatile! She’s the go-to problem solver at the front desk, always ready to tackle any challenge with quick thinking and a witty sense of humor. Her eagerness to learn and help the techs in the back shows her dedication to both our team and the care of our patients.
Outside of the clinic, Emily is a proud mom to her wonderful son and loves spending time outdoors, soaking up nature whenever she can. Her energy, positivity, and hard work make her such an important part of our clinic family.
