Your files don’t heal pets

You’re up before dawn to muscle through some invoices.

 Now, in an exam room with a pet, your mind is on the invoices you didn’t get to.

You want to finish them, so you push your review of lab results till tomorrow.

Later that day, a pet parent calls asking about those lab results, and you have to tell them they’re not ready.

Every minute spent working on your books, ordering inventory, or managing employees is a minute less for your patients’ care.

I get it.

 There’s a lot to be done, and you can’t be in two places at once. I see vets struggling to make it work all the time.

They give up lunches and work late because they try to do everything themselves.

Doing that gives you less time for exams, test results, diagnosis, and treatment plans.

Suddenly, that phone call from a concerned pet parent with a question about their pet’s care is a major inconvenience rather than an opportunity to provide outstanding care.

You, of course, need the managerial side of things managed, too.

That’s where practice managers come in.

 You can focus on your patients and offload the day-to-day managerial work to an experienced practice manager.

 A practice manager will manage...

  • Inventory of medicine and supplies.

  • The books and work with an accountant to manage finances.

  • Fee policies and institute consistent fee increases.

  • Day-to-day emergencies like broken equipment, repairs, staff call-outs, etc.

So you can spend more time being a vet.
