Our doctor partners don’t sell their practices — they co-own them with VPP. By offering a true partnership model, VPP enables veterinarians to retain clinical autonomy and brand identity while gaining the operational and strategic support to reach their potential. VPP is also committed to the success of veterinarians by offering multiple pathways to partnership through tailored co-ownership opportunities.
When Dr. Mark Epstein and the team at TotalBond Veterinary Hospitals started thinking about their exit strategy, they knew they didn’t want to just sell and walk away. They wanted a partner who could help unlock the value they had built — and who would carry their people forward long into the future.

For Dr. Cristina Bustamante, partnering with VPP wasn’t about giving up control. It was about gaining the freedom to build the practice she envisioned and the life she wanted. Most importantly, it allowed her to enjoy her work, protect her personal life, and feel confident she wasn’t doing it alone.
Since partnering with VPP in 2018, Dr. Jamie Hutton has found support beyond finances. VPP has helped her navigate challenges, strengthen her practice, and reduce day-to-day stress.
