“Having been in veterinary practice for over 30 years, I’ve seen a lot of books and articles that are trying to help practice owners. But unfortunately, very few of them are written by people who have actually built and run a successful practice over the long term,” said Dr. Drake. “The goal of my book is to provide tangible, useful lessons based on my own experience building The Drake Center for Veterinary Care into an amazing practice – not just a financially successful business, but a healthy workplace with a strong culture that attracts top-tier doctors and staff.”
The book is more than just a guide; it contains hands-on practical exercises, intended to drive positive change in the veterinary industry. Dr. Drake shares first-hand insights about the mechanics of running a practice and guides readers through the mindset, strategies and tactics necessary to create a practice that delivers excellent care as well as client satisfaction and employee wellbeing.
The mission statement of The Drake Center for Veterinary Care is to provide the best medical and surgical care in a compassionate environment for patients, and unsurpassed service for clients. “This became the cornerstone of my practice,” said Dr. Drake. “Everything we did for the next 30 years was to support this mission. It turns out that this is also a very good business plan."
In the book Dr. Drake emphasizes the need for practice owners to learn, plan, and then chart their own path to success. "My way is just one way to achieve things,” said Dr. Drake. “It has been tested and tried over many challenges and lots of growth, so I believe it’s a great place for practice owners to start.”
With the new challenges of economic change, wage and staffing challenges, corporate competition, and so much more, this book provides guidance, inspiration, and a blueprint for success as a veterinary practice leader today.
