Throughout my years and travels, as a specialist, I have advised general practitioners on the management of ophthalmology (eye) cases. As a profession, specialists do this locally on a daily basis. After starting Veterinary Vision Center (VVC) in Shreveport, LA, I was one of two specialists in the region servicing northern Louisiana, east Texas, and southern Arkansas. Since opening the VVC doors, I am now the only specialist in the region and on a daily basis clients and local veterinarians tell me “Thank you for being here”. Across the nation veterinarians are doing their level best to care for pets. The growing daily case numbers and demands on general practitioners, caused by an increase in veterinarian retirement, increase in pet ownership, and lack of yearly increasing numbers of veterinary specialists, has resulted in elevated stressors on quality veterinary care nationwide. Seeing these bottlenecks and the value access to veterinary specialists of all fields has on the local veterinarians and case outcomes, I decided to start a company that will resolve these problems.VESPECON, which is an acronym for Veterinary Specialty Consultants, was established to provide veterinary hospitals and doctors with a comprehensive network of specialists of all clinical and non-clinical fields for advisory support on a national and international level. Now, I still provide clinical coverage to the Ark-La-Tex community via Veterinary Vision Center, but now have a much broader reach nationwide with VESPECON. I have also brought in trusted advisors who I have known throughout the years who are like-minded, wanting to Support, Empower and Educate our veterinary community with Timely and Trustworthy information. These are VESPECON‘s “SET” of core values.
