In this first episode of the Veterinary Start-Up Practice Podcast, attorney Rob Montgomery connects with Matthew Fletcher, a highly experienced veterinary equipment specialist with Patterson Veterinary. Rob and Matt touch on misconceptions that veterinarians may have when it comes to doing a start-up veterinary practice. They also discuss the importance of reaching out to specialists like Matt and Rob early on in the start-up process, as well as the importance of having a vision for a future veterinary practice and how using that vision can help guide the practice owner through a smoother (and less stressful) veterinary start-up experience.

Over the past decade, Matt has assisted over 500 veterinarians open, expand, relocate, and remodel their practices. Drawing on his vast experience in the veterinary business world, Matt helps to guide veterinarians through specific workflow designs, provide technician support for installations and repairs along with contributing to the equipment and cabinetry options that may best fit the space.
