Thursday Apr 25, 2024
In this episode of The Bend, I am delighted to host Dr. Timothy Ireland, a veterinarian whose journey from graduating in 1990 to owning Newtown Veterinary Hospital in 1992 is truly inspiring. Dr. Ireland's passion for veterinary care, particularly in soft tissue, orthopedic surgery, and dentistry, resonates deeply throughout our conversation.
We delve into his approach to practice management, touching on his experiences with hiring and nurturing leadership within his team. Dr. Ireland candidly reflects on the challenges of transitioning from a one-doctor practice to managing growth, especially during the financial crisis of 2008, yet his unwavering dedication to his staff and the sacrifices made to sustain the practice are evident.
We also discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on veterinary practices, with Dr. Ireland emphasizing the profession's resilience and the importance of collaboration during challenging times. His insights into the evolving landscape of veterinary practice ownership, particularly the value of independent ownership amidst corporate expansion, offer valuable perspective for practitioners navigating the industry.
