PawSteps Veterinary Center, Northbridge, MA
After several years of cautiously preparing for practice ownership, Mark has made the path to starting a practice much less daunting. I originally met Mark after he had been recommended to me by several other presenters at the 2007 NAVC as someone skilled with startups. Since then, Mark has repeatedly demonstrated his skills and understanding of veterinary business and has worked tirelessly on many evenings and weekends to further my aspirations. He clarified my professional goals, assisted me with the assessment of practice locations, and was invaluable in the acquisition of a business loan and the closure of my real estate. He has continued to guide me in the design of my hospital, while helping me with equipment selection and acquisition. Perhaps most importantly, he has been available to reassure my family of the wisdom of this venture, while also reminding me to maintain the health of my personal life.
In short, Mark has been accessible and has tailored his guidance to meet my needs as they have arisen. His mentoring has been both substantial and vital to our success to date and to our expected future successes. I have no reservations in recommending Mark as his experience and expertise in veterinary business is self-evident.
