""The Prosperous Veterinarian is a must read for any veterinarian who wants to become more effective in their personal and professional life. I have known Andy for many years and have a great deal of confidence and respect for his knowledge of both money management and veterinary medicine. Andy has always been very generous in sharing his experience and knowledge with the veterinary community. This book is a selfless sharing of essential knowledge in personal and business-related financial management; fields that few veterinarians master. If one reads this book and follows the principles of wealth building that Andy et al. explain, you will prosper in an ethical and unselfish way. I commend Andy on presenting an important topic and explaining it in an understandable fashion as only he can do. Thanks to the authors for a book that has been long needed in veterinary medicine!""

Smith, DVM, DACVS, CCRT, MBA ""The insights and guidance in The Prosperous Veterinarian are invaluable.

It's a must-read for any veterinarian seeking to build a fulfilling and financially secure career.""
