Lee Kierstein, DVM
Ocala, FLWhen considering selling my veterinary hospital, I knew AVG was the right fit. I’ve known Jim Herring for 35 years and there was already a foundation of trust going in. The sale of the practice was smooth and with no surprises. They offered a fair price & we worked out a deal that was perfect for both of us without any negotiating game playing. After 3 years post-sale, I’m still happy working with AVG! They have given me flexibility in striking a work-life balance right for me and the practice continues to thrive. While I don’t own the practice anymore, I still have ownership of what I do in the practice – this allows us to continue the type of committed care our clients are used to.

Brandon, FLMy experience with AVG has been extremely positive! During the selling process, their offer was fair, they proved to be flexible and there were no disagreements. I ultimately chose AVG because they said they would not interfere with hospital’s medical decisions and that everyone on my staff would end up with a better deal after the ownership transition. This has happened! Today, our clients don’t even know there was a change in ownership. It is very satisfying to watch the practice continue to grow and thrive over these past couple years!

Linda Sands, DVM
Chapel Hill, NCI am an A+ believer in American Veterinary Group because of their integrity and intentional selection of hospitals. From the beginning, they have displayed honesty & respect in their relationship with us. We’ve never been treated like a number. The transition was made easy because we felt we were joining a special group of hospitals, all selected for their unique values. I have complete peace of mind that my hospital won’t become “corporate” – and will keep its uniqueness that we’ve built. I am grateful for their partnership & support – I don’t know that we could have survived COVID without AVG.

Waycross, GAMy partner Dr. Wheeler and I have been practicing together since 2008. Over the last few years, we have been bombarded with offers to buy our veterinary practice. We sold to AVG because we felt comfortable with their people. They offered a strong price and reassured us that our staff was a major priority. This has proven out! Since selling, we feel a weight has been lifted. Right away, we’ve seen gains from AVG’s support across operations, marketing and accounting. We are busier than ever, but now we’re able to solely concentrate on our patients. For us, joining AVG has been only for the better!

David Wilkinson, DVM
Haines City, FLAfter being the sole owner for 32+ years, I am no longer leashed to the hospital and can take time off without worrying about the practice. Partnering with AVG has allowed me to focus on practicing the highest level of veterinary medicine and enjoying it. Most of the time, I still feel like the owner but without the financial and management headaches! Unless I tell my clients, they really have no idea that I sold my practice because they see us continuing to practice with the same caring and standards that we always have had. I appreciate that AVG asks for and respects my input as we grow and move forward together. AVG has provided by team with great benefits, continuing education and competitive compensation. Over the last few years, we have grown our client volumes considerably! As a result, we are now a 3-doctor practice serving a much larger share of patients in our community. Selling to AVG has been like a breath of fresh air for me and I am glad to be part of a team that works together for the benefit of all!
