Building relationships with patients can be one of the most rewarding parts of owning a healthcare practice. (Or, for veterinarians, also building relationships with the patients’ owners…) What happens when you decide you want to expand your practice into multiple locations? Will you still have the time to dedicate to connecting with patients? How will you foster the kind of culture you want in your new locations? Dr. Mike Robinson, VMD has learned the answers to these questions and more on his road to becoming the owner of multiple animal hospitals in North Carolina. He began working as an associate at Cabarrus animal hospital in North Carolina in 2011, and a few short years later, he found himself in a position to purchase the hospital. Then in 2019, he opened a startup clinic in Harrisburg and in 2022 bought a third clinic in the same area. He’s currently in the process of completing a ground-up construction project which will be the future home of both Harrisburg hospitals. In this episode, we’ll ask him: How to know when it’s time to open a second location? What challenges can doctors expect when deciding to expand? How is managing multiple hospitals different from managing just one? How do you maintain a company culture across multiple locations? How to structure your workforce to thrive in different locations?
