I make it easy to grasp the issues and set practical and achievable goals. Whether you are an owner or practice administrator, launching a practice, managing a hospital, or are considering selling — I have the hands-on financial and business management expertise you need.I have broad knowledge of the veterinary industry, so you get an idea of what else is going on. I know what other veterinarians are charging for services, what equipment they use, and what deals exist. With me, you get to know what everybody else is doing so you can make an informed decision. I also have expert knowledge of the animal medical environment, practice pricing, purchasing, marketing, and valuations.Here's an example of how I've helped clients succeed: In 2005, I was made aware of a new digital x-ray being sold on the market. I went to the company that manufactured it and investigated what the cost would be. I then went to my five largest clients and negotiated with them a special group purchase rate for the x-ray equipment and financed it through one of my banking partners. As a result, it improved the quality of x-rays, the efficacy of diagnosis, the efficiency of the practice, and ultimately the practice profitability. The x-ray paid for itself from the first day.If you don’t understand why you’re not making more money, if you have trouble paying your bills, or if your staff is underperforming, call me. I will increase your profitability.
