In 2012 I started looking for a veteriary practice to purchase. I had practiced over 10 years as an associate veteriarian and felt I was ready to be an owner. Although I felt confident in my medical skills, I was unfamiliar with the mechanics of purchasing a hospital. Rick Wattles came to the practice for a valuation. He is professional, personable, and efficient. He provided a detailed valuation of the practice that was extremely helpful not only for my purchase of the hospital, but also for my running of the hospital because it provided details about the practice and the surrounding community that helped me market my practice. During the purchase process, Ellie Wattles negotatiated on my behaf with the seller, assisted me with obtaining financing, connected me with an attorney and an accountant, and answered my questions along the way. Purchasing a practice is a complicated endeavor that requires expertise. Who you chose to guide you through that process will largely dictate your satisfaction and success. Without reservation I recommend Rick and Ellie. read more
