It still goes back to Caveat Emptor. = NO ONE gives my dogs a Corona Virus shot, nor any other shot, nor ANY tr= eatment, of any kind, without my consent. PERIOD!! = If you don't understand business, you are apt to make these blanket stat= ements you have made. = BTW, Dr. Gregory is a woman. Please re-read my post, as you apparently = didn't quite get what I was saying. A good vet is a good vet, where ever he/she practices. A bad vet is a b= ad vet, where ever he/she practices. In my experience, I have seen more= bad vets in private practice. They can get away with more, and cover u= p more, with no oversight, therefore, no retribution. The best vets I h= ave seen, over the years, have been in large partnerships, LLP's, and Co= rporations. They are very liability conscious and enjoy the perks of ea= sier working hours, availability of state-of-the-art equipment, access t= o each others expertise, and ability to service their clients more thoro= ughly. = If someone is liability conscious, they are more likely to adhere to pru= dent, responsible business and medical/veterinary practices. Banfield, (each office IS different) is no better or worse, overall, tha= n any other veterinary entities.
