We want to help animals and people have long healthy lives but are often dedicating our efforts toward production goals and profit margins. We fight the urge to give away our services to keep our doors open.
We want to be doctors first and business owners only because of necessity. So those of us who love medicine, choose to find a comfortable place that will let us be doctors and forget the rest. Those places are rare, and we either settle in to good enough or stay on a perpetual search.
And the answer was easy.
There is no better time to fight for a better way of practicing medicine and fill a need that is growing for exceptional veterinary care. I fought through remote zoning hearings, lenders shying away from startups in a high-risk economy, and construction costs sky-rocketing.
I wanted to open a practice and be a veterinarian. I was not about to give up this chance.
Doctors like to think in statistics and published studies, but the prognosis for each individual is not the sum of their data points. A successful response to treatment is not just about the medications and the surgery. We get better because of the compassionate care and guidance that we’re given and through our own perseverance and heart.
Our practice has one mission now… MORE LOVE. More love for our patients and clients, more love for our colleagues and friends, and more love for our work.
