For me, as well as my partners, it was a matter of getting the help we needed but maintaining the culture we developed. VetStrategy was very different in that there was a mandate to preserve culture. Maintaining this culture and taking care of my staff were really the most important things.

Now things are so much better, as the business is structured in a way that I don’t have to do everything. It’s amazing when you have more time for your patients how much more enjoyable it is. I also have more time with my family. I can coach rugby and go skiing more often without constantly worrying about the practice.
