Meet owner Janice King
Janice King has been the
owner of Maple Springs Veterinary Hospital since 2004, after managing the
practice since 1997. She is the mother of five children: twins Jennifer and
Richard, Michael, Shelby, and Sterling Branden. She is married to Tony King.
Janice has many pets in the family: Labrador Retriever "Hemi", German Shorthair
Pointer "Rockingham" , Jack Russell "Short Circuit" , Chihuahua "Rylee", seven
cats "Scooter" , "Skeeter", "Socks", "Charlotte", "Bristol", "Noah", and
"Allie", three horses Clydesdale/Thoroughbred "Elliot", and two Painted Draft
Crosses "Casie"
and "Sulley" , and a rabbit "Carborator".
Janice began her veterinary
career at North Laurel Animal Hospital with Dr. Bob Cohn in June 1982. Through
on-the-job training, veterinary technician training classes, and seminars, she
worked her way up from Kennel Technician to Senior Veterinary Technician and
Assistant Bookkeeper until June 1994. She then accepted a position at the very
successful eight doctor practice, Lewis Veterinary Hospital. It was there that
she met Drs. Vall, Harvey, and Cooper. Shortly after arriving at Lewis, Janice
was promoted to Head Surgery Technician and Technical Supervisor. In June 1997,
Dr. Patrick Vall purchased Maple Springs Veterinary Hospital and asked Janice
to manage the hospital for him.
Drs. Harvey and
Cooper joined the Maple Springs staff very shortly after that. In March 2004,
Dr. Vall , his wife, and children decided to follow their dream and move to his
wife's home state of Colorado, where they now own Animal Medical Center in
Woodland Park. Leaving his clients, patients, and friends in Maryland was sad,
but, Dr. Vall knew Janice, the now owner of Maple Springs, with help from Drs.
Strong, Harvey, Cooper and the rest of the MSVH staff, would continue the
excellent level of service and care clients and patients had come to know.
