What Clients Are Saying
Read Additional Testimonials"I cannot thank Dr. Fitzpatrick enough for her dedication, honesty, integrity and experience. Having her in my corner allowed me to continue practicing while she handled all the negotiations, and I would enthusiastically recommend her to any veterinarian looking to sell their practice..."
Dr. Robert Norris, DVM / Bridge Street Animal Clinic"Working with Sheila on the purchase of our second practice was wonderful. It felt like every day there was always some crisis or new thing that no one expected but Sheila was always on top of solving it. She came with research, data, and solutions and she has never met a dead end. And as a bonus, she is always kind and professional and cares a..."
Amy Sword-Hewes, RVT, Chief Operations Officer / North Powers Animal Hospital / Airway Veterinary Hospital"Dr. Fitzpatrick was referred to me as a practice broker, by my financial adviser. I had already used a different broker for an evaluation a couple of years before. The difference was very apparent. She patiently explained the process and very little varied from that overview. I had no surprises regarding costs. It was more labor intensive (for me, at times) than I had expected, but I was always able to get answers, and quickly. She was also more affordable than many other brokers, and I believe offered much more value in that regards. The sale came with the second potential buyer, and there was plenty of help with that process as well. Regarding her assistance in finding and placing a very good new graduate DVM as our 3rd doctor, I could not be happier with the outcome."
Joanne Finelli-Diaz, DVM / Camden Veterinary Clinic"She was terrific from beginning to end. I have recently employed Sheila Fitzpatrick to broker the sale of my veterinary practice as well as the building and land. I would add that there were many parameters that made this process very difficult. Throughout many twists and turns, her knowledge, experience, and professionalism were outstanding. I cannot imagine employing anyone else for anyone considering selling a veterinary practice. If I can answer any questions, you are most welcome to contact me at anytime."
Mark A. Howard DVM"Sheila was wonderful at helping me through the process of selling my practice. I would never have gotten the deal I did without her help. She shepherded me through meetings with my veterinary accountant and lawyer, as well as all the communications with the corporations and mounds of reports and paperwork. I feel lucky to have met her!"
Nan Boss DVM, Best Friends Veterinary Center"I highly recommend working with Sheila Fitzpatrick and the Veterinary Advisors group. Sheila was recommended to me by my financial advisor of many years. She didn't require a large sum upfront and advised me that she would continue to search for an associate for me until she placed a candidate or sold the practice. Sheila communicated with me frequently. I interviewed a number of qualified candidates brought to me through Sheila. I also put the practice up for sale at the same time. Sheila ended up bringing me a qualified buyer and the practice sale has just closed. Sheila was there every step of the way helping me through the process. I never felt pressured to accept any candidates or sales proposals. Sheila, being a DVM herself, understands the challenges that come along with practice and stepping back from practice. If you want a trustworthy individual who get results, Sheila is that person."
