115: Entrepreneurship: Inventing the 5-second Doppler Placement Solution

Sari Lieberman, LVT, started her career as a veterinary technician after a 20-year career as a vocalist performing with various bands in various venues, traveling throughout the US, Canada, and the Caribbean Islands. She received her AA from Harcum College after completing her practicum at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine’s small animal hospital in Philadelphia, and large animal facility in Kennett Square, PA. After receiving her LVT, she has worked exclusively in referral practices. She is currently employed at Animal Surgical and Orthopedic Center, previously known as Animal Surgical Clinic of Seattle.Her disciplines include anesthetic protocol, pain management, patient care, and she holds a special interest in radiology. She has presented CE on the subject of obtaining “Rad Rads.” She was also a blogger, social media, and website manager for the clinic. Sari developed the Doppler Band after years of witnessing the trepidation of her co-workers and experiencing, firsthand, the frustration of trying to secure a Doppler to a patient for monitoring BP, especially during lengthy surgical procedures.Since the Doppler Band was first introduced in 2018, it has been used internationally, in general, emergency, surgical, dermatology and dental clinics, and zoos. It is also being used as an educational tool at technical colleges and vet schools, here in the US and abroad.
