As the first and most experienced veterinary practice brokerage, Simmons uses progressive practice valuation methods to determine an accurate value.
Selling a practice: Veterinarians spend many years building their legacy and strong relationships with staff and clients. It is important they fully realize the value of their life's work utilizing advisory support. Simmons walks you through every step of the selling process and helps you maximize the value of your practice. Is your Associate ready to purchase? Having an outside expert facilitate your sale can help ease the transition with employees and vendors, resolve concerns that may arise during negotiations, and ensure a collegial relationship between the buyer and seller after the sale.
Buying a practice: Buying a practice may be the largest, most complex, yet most rewarding financial transaction of your life. You can avoid potentially expensive missteps by teaming with a professional broker to act as an intermediary and guide. Whether you’re looking for a companion animal, large animal, or mixed practice, Simmons leads you through every step of the buying process, from identifying the practice that’s the right fit for you, to providing sample purchase contracts, to spearheading contract negotiations, to connecting you with lenders, to orchestrating closing details.

EasyDVM Practice Software was created by veterinarian and practice owner, Sam Meisler DVM, initially for his own practices. We have now made it available to practices all over the world. Our vision was to create a cloud-based veterinary software system that did not involve periodically updating a complicated expensive on-site server and network system. In addition, the veterinary software had to be easy to use and quick for a new team member to learn. To use our veterinary software, all you need is access to the internet and the ability to print to a printer. All data is stored on the cloud and can be accessed from anywhere with internet access and from any device with a web browser. Remember, all devices, multiple users, all your clients and patients, always affordable, no caps on users, clients or doctors.
