MEET THE GREYSTONE STAFF!

My name is Kristen Opatrny and I am Dr. Kostal’s sister!  I received my degree in Veterinary Technology at Stautzenberger College in Brecksville, Ohio. I am the office manager at Greystone and also a RVT. I have an amazing husband and the cutest son ever - Camdyn! (with another on the way!)  I enjoy spending time with family & friends, cooking and cuddling with my dogs Zoe and Tootsie and my cats Crusier and Torta.

My name is Brooke Wright and I am currently in my final semester in the Veterinary Technician Program at Penn Foster! 

I graduated from the University of Toledo with a Bachelors in Biology and a minor in Chemistry in 2016. 

Once I graduated, I realized animals were my passion, and decided to change career paths. I have been working in the veterinary field now since 2018.  In my spare time when I am not at work or studying, I love to hangout with my friends, family, and with my pets Kai, Lenny, Steve and Pinot! 

Worst fact: loves the steelers :(

Rachel grew up in North Olmsted, Ohio but currently resides in Seven Hills with her boyfriend, daughter, two dogs, a cat and multiple fish! She has been working in the Veterinary field since 2009 and received her Veterinary Technician license in 2012. She has a strong passion and background in emergency and critical care medicine as well as dentistry. In her free time she enjoys spending time with her family, powerlifting and partaking in many outdoor activities such as; target shooting, archery, fishing, boating, four wheeling, cooking and traveling!

Tara is our newest RVT! Bio coming soon!

Whats good & welcome to your favorite Greystone veterinarian assistant bio!  My name is Jacob Smykowski and I joined the Greystone family back in June 2021. I have worked with animals in many different arenas from dog sitting, training, grooming, and being a manager of a doggy day care for multiple years.  I am grateful to have the best english bulldog in the world named Yogi.  She loves her walks in the metroparks, football toss in the yard, and a delicious granny smith apple! When I am not at Greystone, you can find me at Functions of Life gym in Broadview Heights where I teach multiple kickboxing classes! I look forward to seeing you there! Let's go be great today!!

 My name is Courtney Henderson and I am one of the customer care representatives!  I’ve always had a love of animals and working at Greystone definitely allows me to see so many each and every day! When I’m not at work I like spending time with friends and family and my dog Elliot! I also have a huge passion for dog training and have been doing that for the past 2 1/2 years with service dogs as well as pets!

Bio coming soon!

My name is Waffles – and I live at Greystone! I like my name – I guess people voted for it on the Greystone Facebook page! My duties at the clinic include welcoming people as they enter my kingdom, playing with puppies, destroying the reception area, printing random documents on the laptops, visiting all the new pets and sleeping. My hobbies include jogging, yodeling, and yachting and I aspire to be a model one day. Until then I’m just going to go knock everything off the reception desk, crawl into your purses/bags and take a nap on top of the radio and make you come pet me! Keep an eye out for Waffles! He likes to hide in crazy places!

Everyone loves me.
