But someone has to run the business and Veterinary Growth Partners is here to help! There are no contracts or obligations and no upfront costs to join. Be better than yesterday and begin a new journey to accelerate your practice. 

 Dr. Michelle Beck, Practice Owner, P.A.W.S. Pet Hospital, Hugo, MN 

“Trying to be a veterinarian, practice manager, conflict resolver, accountant, counselor, ‘hey, there’s an emergency’, meeting leader and organizer, is quite daunting. My Coach helped to break things down and prioritize, gives me the tools to delegate and allow my team to be a part of and responsible for more of these tasks. If you haven’t gone through the hospital evaluation and been teamed with a Practice Coach, what are you waiting for? It will be the best decision you have ever made, I don’t know what I would have done without my Coach.” 

Dr. Marianne Lesh, Daisy Lane Veterinary Clinic, Indianapolis, IN 

“Thank you so much for your encouragement and facilitating my VGP relationship. I appreciate the financial benefits, but more importantly, I appreciate the opportunity to work with my practice coach. She has turned out to be the best match possible. Many people would have not “understood” me - my quirkiness, my values, and my vulnerability. Leather’s manner and tone has made me feel comfortable to be myself, and to share my true values and goals. I do not feel that someone is coaching me to “be like everybody else”. I feel like she wants to help me apply proven methods to create the practice I envision. ”

You became a part of the veterinary industry because of your love for pets, not managing people, finances, or other complex business functions. But someone has to run the business and Veterinary Growth Partners is here to help! There are no contracts or obligations and no upfront costs to join. Be better than yesterday and begin a new journey to accelerate your practice. 

 Dr. Michelle Beck, Practice Owner, P.A.W.S. Pet Hospital, Hugo, MN 

“Trying to be a veterinarian, practice manager, conflict resolver, accountant, counselor, ‘hey, there’s an emergency’, meeting leader and organizer, is quite daunting. My Coach helped to break things down and prioritize, gives me the tools to delegate and allow my team to be a part of and responsible for more of these tasks. If you haven’t gone through the hospital evaluation and been teamed with a Practice Coach, what are you waiting for? It will be the best decision you have ever made, I don’t know what I would have done without my Coach.”
