There are some people who are so busy you can’t help but wonder when they get some shut eye. One might think that these folks hardly have two seconds to squeeze in the time to give back to others. But what if your business is all about caring and giving back to others? And what if the definition of “busy” really describes the nexus of where ambition meets heartfelt dedication? Well, in this case you have the making of a rock star veterinarian. Yes, you read correctly, rock star veterinarian. This may sound like an oxymoron, but in today’s fast-paced, social media drenched, one-on-one world, a veterinarian has the tools to garner the type of following that some rock stars would envy.

If this mythical veterinarian truly existed and were listed in an encyclopedia, the accompanying photograph could very well be that of Annmarie Hill, DVM, owner of and head veterinarian at the Animal Care Center of Huntington Beach (ACCHB). With a strong business savvy and a web partner in Kirsten Wright of Wright Creativity, Dr. Hill has harnessed the power of online social media (Twitter, Facebook, blogging, etc.) to become a veterinary force of woof to be reckoned with.

Dr. Mike Zareski

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Dr. Mike Zareski is the owner and head veterinarian at Western Veterinary Group, a growing full-service veterinary clinic in Lomita, CA. A small spay and neuter clinic when he acquired it last year, Dr. Zareski has been expanding the practice into a full-service animal hospital that can provide a greater variety of services with a higher standard of care.

 

Animal lovers can get more than general practice veterinary services at Dr. Zareski’s clinic–a certified acupuncturist visits Western Veterinary Group three days a week, and more specialized services will be added to the clinic’s roster later this year.

More important than the type of services Western Veterinary Group provides, however, is the quality of their care. In a Yelp.com review, Steven G. of San Pedro, CA says, “Dr. Mike is the most humble and altruistic physician of ANY kind I’ve met in my life. I have never encountered a vet who so deeply cares about the animals and their owners he services as he does.” And it’s not just Dr. Mike who gets rave reviews: “Every employee I’ve met knows their job inside and out, is cordial to the owners (and loving towards the animals), and the entire place runs like a well-oiled machine…a machine of LOVE FOR YOUR PETS!”
