🐾 The shocking revelation: why I downsized by veterinary practices 📚 Hey there, fellow entrepreneurs! 🐶🐱 I wanted to share a personal journey that's close to my heart. As an entrepreneur deeply passionate about both healthcare and business, my life has been a balancing act. I've dedicated years to delivering top-notch veterinary care, often at the expense of my own well-being. But sometimes, life offers clarity in the most unexpected ways. In 2021, a significant moment arrived with my wedding. It dawned on me that my four smaller practices were affecting my health, and more crucially, they were stealing precious moments with my family. So, I made a pivotal decision: downsizing to focus on one mega practice, the Animal Surgical Center Oceanside, New York. Read all about it on Vet Candy: https://lnkd.in/egt89ZEn My motivation? A renewed commitment to a healthier work-life balance and more quality time with loved ones. 🌟 But that's not all! Our consolidation has brought us the gift of synergy. We now have the collective strength to offer 24-hour care with overnight doctors, a service once out of reach. This, my friends, reflects our unyielding dedication to providing the best possible care for our furry patients and pushing the boundaries of veterinary medicine. Plus, our veterinarians now collaborate more closely, sharing knowledge for the benefit of our beloved animals. 🤝🐕🐾 In a nutshell, my journey as an entrepreneur is about more than just business. It's about creating a positive impact on our community and the animals we adore. The consolidation of our surgical centers into ASC Oceanside not only enhances our care but keeps it affordable for our community. My ultimate goal? To leave a lasting, positive legacy in the field of veterinary medicine, one precious pet at a time. And if I can enjoy a serene evening of sailing with my wife, that's the cherry on top of the cake. 🌅🍰 Thank you for joining me on this journey of growth, innovation, and heartfelt commitment to our furry friends! Stay tuned for more incredible stories in the world of animal health and care. 🐾❤️ #VeterinaryMedicine #EntrepreneurLife #QualityHealthcare #WorkLifeBalance #CommunityImpact
