#234 - Veterinary Innovative Partners: Reimagining Veterinary Medicine
Alright today I’m joined by two guests from Veterinary Innovative Partners (VIP), a network of 40+ veterinarian-owned-and-operated hospitals across nine states. Dr. Brett Shorenstein & Dr. Don Costlow. Dr. Shorenstein is a practicing veterinarian with 10+ years of experience. Previously an investment banker in NYC, he left the industry to follow his true passion of becoming a small animal veterinarian. Combining his financial expertise with veterinary training, Dr. Shorenstein focuses on cultivating a positive workplace culture and reigniting fellow veterinarians' passion for their work. Dr. Costlow draws on 30+ years of experience in veterinary medicine, practice ownership and business development to forge meaningful relationships with veterinarians. Dr. Costlow has owned and operated veterinary hospitals since 1997. We discuss:
- Brett's link between investment banking and veterinary medicine?
- What Don realized about his leadership style and changes he had to make as he grew hospitals?
- Their non-consensus views that the industry as a whole might disagree with them on?
- What do they think financially is still undervalued by most of the veterinary community?
- What VIP is doing to truly be different for veterinarians.
- Inflation and pricing and how they've approached it.
- What areas of veterinary medicine that they find the most interesting? Why?
