"I have recently employed Sheila Fitzpatrick to broker the sale of my veterinary practice as well as the building and land. She was terrific from beginning to end. 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."

"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."

As a solo veterinary practitioner for 37 years I needed help finding a way to sell my practice and building. I had heard and seen first hand stories of solo veterinary practitioners not being able to find a buyer so they just close the doors one day. My goal was to sell to an individual and not a large corporation or private equity firm. When I shared my goals with some brokers they told me it would be very difficult for a solo practitioner and I may just have to sell my equipment and close the business. Dr. Fitzpatrick met with me, evaluated my practice and told me she was willing to take me on. She worked very diligently putting together a package that she sent out to market the practice. Almost immediately we had interested parties. Since she knew I was not interested in a corporation, she only brought to me individuals to look at. Our initial meeting was in July of 2025 and we closed the sale on March 20, 2026. 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.

"My partner and I used VP Veterinary Advisors when we decided to sell our practice. Sheila Fitzpatrick worked with us for over a year in order to help get our business up to where it should be. Sheila did an amazing job for us. She is unbelievably hard working, efficient, and knowledgeable. She helped us make changes in the way we practiced in order to get our numbers up to where they should be. She helped us with some staff issues and helped us hire another veterinarian. She was instrumental in this. We were able to hire a new graduate before she was out of school. In the meantime, Sheila helped us hire wonderful relief veterinarians that were wonderful to work with and improved our bottom line a lot. She helped us upgrade our record keeping. We were way behind in this area and making the change was so beneficial. We purchased new equipment that also made us more marketable as well as helped our clients and patients. She has boundless energy and even volunteered to help with training some of our staff in certain procedures, such as in dental rads and treatment. She worked with the office staff to help them get more appointments made and how to handle problems that they had. We could not have done any of this without her. She is a wonderful person, and I consider her a dear friend for all that she did for us. She was also able to find the person that we sold our practice to.
We also worked with Karen closer to the sale with accounting. She, also, was so friendly and easy to discuss problems we were having. She was so knowledgeable about things we needed to do in order to sell our practice. We depended on her a lot as well.
Both Sheila and Karen are exceptional people. They delivered so much more than they needed to in order to help us. They are honest and so hard working! They are intelligent and know their profession backwards and forward. They were always easy to reach when we needed them. We owe a lot to them. I'm so glad that we made the right decision to utilize their services when we needed them the most."

"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 great deal about what she does. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and I would hands down use Sheila as a broker again."

"I recently sold my small but well established 1 1/2 doctor veterinary practice largely due to the skill and expertise of Sheila Fitzpatrick of VP Vet Advisors. When looking for a broker I seriously considered larger, more local and better known brokers but Sheila came highly recommended as a 'hands on, very personal' broker. I’m so glad that I chose her. She laid out a clear plan of what she needed from me and she worked hard and quickly to pull the package together. She marketed my practice enthusiastically and well and brought me the right kinds of buyers. She filtered out the tire kickers and discussed prospective buyers with me-giving me the choice of who to talk to.
Initially I had concerns that she was located in Colorado because I am located in Massachusetts but she was always available and kept in touch well. For example, early on she did a video walk through of my practice on a Sunday evening after she had spent the day with her family! As a previous vet she got that I worked long days and that I likely would only be available for calls in the late evening or early morning. That was never a problem.
I can’t say the process was painless and I wouldn't want to do it again but I felt very well taken care of and understood by Sheila Fitzpatrick. Highly recommend her."

"I used VP Veterinary Advisors first for recruiting a veterinarian and then to help with the sale of my practice. Dr. Sheila Fitzpatrick was very helpful in both advising, and organizing everything needed for both processes. It was very helpful to have her in my corner, helping me though all of the details, as well as working so closely with my attorney until closing. "

"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!"

"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."

"Sheila is Fabulous! She has helped us with several things. She found the absolute perfect veterinarian for us, she did a valuation of our clinic and offered advice on how to make it more efficient, more productive and told us we needed to remodel. She was spot on...we did what she told us to do. Our newly remodeled clinic is so beautiful! Our clinic is much more productive and efficient. We have been getting new clients every day! She paid for herself plus we increased our profit margin! I highly recommend her services."
