Today I have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Ezra J. Ameis, DVM. Located in Los Angeles, CA, Dr. Ezra opened his veterinary practice, Paw Priority, with the goal of offering both Urgent Care and General Practice with a personal touch. Most veterinarian offices today are owned or being bought by large corporations, which often values serving a large quantity of patience over care giving care with compassion. It's often hard to get the same veterinarian for all appointments, too, which mean continuity of care for the pets they see is often lost, sometimes leading to misdiagnosis. Tune in and listen as Dr. Ezra explains how his veterinarian practice focuses on pet care in a compassionate setting. His clinic, is “dedicated to delivering the highest standard of medical care that your pet rightfully deserves”. As a bonus, we'll also be discussing how Acupuncture for our pets has changed many pets' lives for the better.EPISODE NOTES: Breaking the Corporate Mold: A Vet Who Puts Pets First Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/19-cats-and-counting-on-pet-life-radio-petliferadio-com--6667858/support.

Is Veterinary General Practice Dying? On this week's Veterinary Viewfinder, veterinarian Dr. Ernie Ward and credentialed veterinary technician, Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, ask the question many teams are whispering. Routine wellness is slipping while urgent and ER traffic rises. The hosts dig into what is driving the shift: cost sensitivity, weekday access barriers, and changing client expectations after COVID. They explain why prevention must mean more than vaccines and a fecal test, and how to reframe value around early disease detection, chronic care, and client outcomes. Our hosts discuss some practical fixes you can try: add short sick-visit blocks without disrupting the schedule, pilot limited urgent-care hours, rotate doctors to conserve energy, and coach teams for tougher conversations and better handoffs. They also share ways to keep pets from “ping-ponging” across town by coordinating with nearby clinics. The goal is not to turn back the clock. It is to meet current demand while keeping general veterinary medicine strong, margins healthy, and staff morale intact. #VeterinaryViewfinder #VetMed #VeterinaryMedicine #VeterinaryPodcast #GeneralPractice #UrgentCare #PreventiveCare #AccessToCare #PracticeManagement #ClientCommunication #VeterinaryTeam #ContinuingEducation

Most urgent care CEOs stay far from the weeds of marketing. But what happens when a leader decides to master it—and uses that knowledge to drive clinic growth, improve patient access, and lower acquisition costs?In this episode, Michael and Nick sit down with Brent Kell, CEO of Valley Immediate Care, a nine-location urgent care group in Southern Oregon. For over two decades, Brent has not only led operations but rolled up his sleeves to run and refine his own marketing—blending geofencing, Google Ads, and innovative patient communication strategies to deliver measurable ROI.From targeting sports tournaments and tourist hubs with hyper-local ads, to integrating AI voice and SMS systems that answer calls, book appointments, and reduce no-shows, Brent shares exactly how he's using data to guide every marketing dollar. He also opens up about the KPIs that matter most, how to calculate your true cost per patient acquisition, and why the human touch still matters in a digital-first strategy.Whether you're an urgent care operator, a healthcare marketer, or a leader looking to better connect operations and patient growth, this conversation delivers proven, actionable tactics you can adapt right now.

What started as a mission to expand dental access is now transforming urgent care operations across the country.From reducing ER visits to giving urgent cares a simple “plug-and-play” dental service line, The TeleDentists are showing clinics how to diversify their services, support their communities, and grow their bottom line—all without overburdening their teams.Whether you're an urgent care operator, an entrepreneur, or just curious about what's next in healthcare delivery, this conversation is packed with insights you can act on today.

Whether you're running one location or scaling across a region, understanding brand equity might be the missing piece to your growth strategy.This isn't theory. It's a real-world look at how branding drives conversions, loyalty, and even ad performance—especially in the urgent care space, where most clinics still lead with a red sign and hope.So saddle up!
