Meet your dedicatedEncore team.
Encore was founded by a DVM and is led with the support of our Veterinary Leaders Advisory Board.
We built Encore because we felt that the needs of the veterinary industry were not being met by corporate medicine. With decades of experience, our team has an intimate understanding of consulting, veterinary practice transitions, operational effectiveness, and employee engagement — we know what works, and more importantly, what doesn’t. Our Veterinary Leaders Advisory Board helps ensure we’re giving veterinarians the resources they deserve.
We...
Solve With The Practice (SWTP)
We are not on the front lines. We support our practices and help them solve challenges. We are their partners, and we want to help THEM be the superheroes.
Exude transparency
We work to empower each other by sharing knowledge, not hoarding it.
Retain autonomy and accountability
Amazing people need autonomy to do their best work. Autonomy requires trust. We have a 3-word policy for just about everything. Use good judgment! We do what's best for our practices and our people.
Value our people
They're our best perk!! We want to be as proud of the people we grow as we are of the company we grow.
Ensure great long-term impact
We give vets a chance for their legacy to live on. The simpler we keep things, the faster we go!
