My vet charges an exam fee for the first office visit of each (new) dog we have. After that, he doesn't charge an exam fee, just whatever the dog needs. He works with breeders and is very fair. I also get a 20% discount for the multiple dogs that I have. AND he gets up at 2 in the morning to help if I have a problem! (I love him.)
