GIBSON

Gibson has been an employee at MAH since January of 2013 when he was adopted by his mom, Dr. Blasi. He enjoys greeting our clients and providing comedic relief to his fellow employees. When not on the job, he can be found with his head in the trash looking for discarded treats. Although he shares the same curly brown hair with his predecessor, he is not to be confused with Baci, who used to work here. Be sure to stop by the front desk and stare in to his soulful, brown eyes as he watches you walk by the cookie jar in hopes that he may get one. Don’t let him fool you though; he is well fed.
