#240 Phil Zeltzman, DVM, DACVS, CVJ - Veterinary Medicine Catch-Up

Today I’m joined by a repeat guest Dr. Phil Zeltzman - a polymath and veterinary surgeon. He’s joined me on episode #42 and #107. He is the co-founder of Chronos and SURGE. Chronos is a remote back-office solution for veterinary practices. SURGE is a community of ​​“MOBILE SURGEONS HELPING MOBILE SURGEONS”. Phil always a pleasure to connect and I get to share that with the audience this time.

  • Phil's bigger macro and micro views at where things stand today in veterinary medicine. 
  • "Pet spend on a real basis (accounting for inflation) is down 20 straight months - this is worse than the Great Financial Crisis which was 19 months." - Phil's thoughts and does it feel that bad in the marketplace today?
  • We chat Chronos - Phil joined me in episode #107 to talk about it. You’ve been talking about “reactivation” a lot lately and wanted to have you share more about that. 
  • Phil is the co-founder of Surge - which is a group of mobile and some B&M locations around the country. I was able to come to a meeting back in 2023 and loved it. Share a bit about Surge and how your GP peers can leverage and utilize what Surge has to offer. 
  • Phil's questions for me sparked a fun conversation.
  • And so much more!!
