Testimony from a previous associate:
- I have been working with Gina & Valet Vet for the last a year and a half, and I now finally enjoy my career in veterinary medicine! We have a great team & great clients and we would love to add another doctor as we continue to grow!And, in case you might be wondering....1) Mobile practice is NOT all euthanasias and vaccines. I see almost as much variety in my cases with Valet Vet as I did working at the brick & mortar clinics. PLUS my clients are now generally pleasant, happy to see me, and want to do the best they can for their pets.2) Mobile practice does NOT only see high income or high-maintenance clients. The variety of clients I see is possibly even *wider* in mobile practice than at the brick-and-mortar clinics. It keeps every day interesting!3) The daily schedule may sound too good to be true, but Dr. Gina Finney talks about work-life balance & she means it. I get to eat breakfast & play with my kids in the morning & I am home for dinner and bedtime every night! It IS possible!
