Location
Our client is located in the heart of Chesapeake, Virginia, minutes away from Virginia Beach and Norfolk. Virginia Beach is one of the most popular vacation spots on the East Coast and offers something for everyone. Beautiful beaches, gorgeous mountains a short drive away, a fantastic variety of diverse cuisine, a thriving nightlife, theaters, historic sites and the Virginia Beach Symphony and outdoor amphitheaters. Chesapeake is about a 15-minute drive to the beach, and a short drive away from the Outer Banks of North Carolina and the Eastern Shore. The city of Chesapeake is known as a place that holds significant history and is the home to many beautiful hiking trails and waterways that make for a great day of adventure and serenity. There are 22 miles of waterways in Chesapeake that include canals, rivers, and lakes. You can even visit the Dismal Swamp Canal, with miles of hiking and biking paths featuring wildlife galore! If you love the great outdoors, then the Tidewater area of Virginia is a great place to call home.
Practice Overview
Our client prioritizes practicing high quality medicine and allowing time for our doctors to actually heal their patient’s vs having to run from room to room, focusing on volume instead of focusing on healing. They continue to invest in state-of-the-art training and technology to give their doctors the best equipment available to practice their craft. Their goal is to minimize the stress on their patients (and their staff) and ensure their clients have a wonderful and meaningful experience here. They provide undivided attention to solve the medical problems that each patient is facing in a relaxed, friendly, and caring environment. They offer the best of both Eastern and Western medicine to cover expansive healing modalities because they believe that that is what’s in the best interest of the pets and their owners. Their talented staff are all aligned and committed to creating an extremely unique space for healing, and they work hard to maintain a respectful, honoring and supportive office culture for each other. It’s like a family there. If you’re looking for a patient/client-centered and service-oriented practice that also honors, respects and invests back into their staff, we would love to speak with you.
