Confessions of a swine veterinarian
When a weird case presents, sometimes the best a surgeon can do is rely on hard-earned talent and intuition.
Client Communication
Revisit vaccinations
Don’t promote routine exams as merely a time for shots. Use the occasions as an opportunity to practice preventive medicine and to detect early signs of disease.
Practice Management
What is your practice IQ?
The higher the percentage of insured patients in your practice, the more care clients will approve and the healthier your clinic will be financially.
Finance
Play your cards right
Take care when choosing a credit card processor or switching to another one. Fees, rates and contracts vary by company.
Practice Management
Friends in high places
Veterinary clinics are not immune to workplace favoritism. Playing favorites with co-workers might not be illegal, but it can hurt morale and create resentment.
Practice Ownership
What’s your exit strategy?
For practice owners, slapping a “For Sale” sign on your hospital doesn’t cut it. You need to find a buyer who will pay a fair price, accommodate your needs and preserve the culture you built.
Patient Care
Get to the heart of the matter
All the drugs you need to fight heartworm are at your disposal. Now it’s time to educate and advocate.
Merchandising
Who Wants Seconds?
Whether you stock therapeutic diets or partner with an online seller, the goal is the same: owner compliance and steady revenue.
