Geo

Ruby

Clinic Princess

Ruby is our official Lake Ave Princess! She stepped into her royal role in April of 2025 after we lost our beloved CEO, Geo. Since then, she’s become an essential part of our team, always up front to greet clients, supervise the day’s activities, and make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible.

When Ruby isn’t charming visitors or assisting at the front desk, you can usually find her napping in one of her many favorite spots or playing with her toys. She takes her job very seriously… unless it’s nap time, of course.

Ruby spends her weekends at home getting spoiled and loved and comes back ready to rule the clinic all over again.
