SOUTHERN VETERINARY PARTNERS, LLC
BIRMINGHAM, AL

My partner Dr. Flatt and I have been with The Animal Clinic since 1974. For a few years, we have been discussing exit and transition strategies. During which time, we have been bombarded with offers to buy our veterinary practice. When Southern Veterinary Partners approached us, it was the first time we both felt comfortable considering their offer to sell our veterinary practice. We almost immediately said yes. Why did we sell to Southern Veterinary Partners? They offered a fair price and assurance that our staff was a major priority. We have had team members for 37 years and would not make a transition without knowing our employees were handled properly. Furthermore, these guys are veterinarians and know what is going on in the veterinary industry. While considering selling my veterinary hospital, I anticipated I would join another organization. But after meeting Southern Veterinary Partners, my mind was made that they were the right fit. With Southern Veterinary Partners, I feel supported and that my animal hospital will be enhanced with their continuing education, benefits and ability to network with peers for best practices. I appreciate their resources but enjoy they are not too big that I am lost in the mix. They give me the autonomy to practice medicine and allow Murrayville Veterinary Clinic to retain its identity. Southern Veterinary Partners understands our individual needs and culture and is a Southern group that speaks our language. When I started my ownership of Memphis Animal Clinic 40 years ago, I also started dreaming that the sale of my vet practice would be the ticket for my retirement. Southern Veterinary Partners made that dream come true. Jay Price and his team kept me updated, were thorough in their discussions and easy to work with during the acquisition of my vet practice. Their leadership and staff worked hard to make the transition smooth, uncomplicated, and straight forward for me, my employees and my clients. Thank you Southern Veterinary Partners! Joining Southern Veterinary Partners allows me personally the opportunity to develop a transition strategy, but more importantly, continues our tradition of veterinary care with an emphasis on excellence, client service and our team of employees. With the support and resources available, Southern Veterinary Partners allows us an even greater opportunity to provide the highest level of veterinary medical services.
