One of my favorite vets left my practice and I thought "WTF?" I'd heard about the private equity thing and did a search. Found this list and, sure enough, my current practice is on it. I also found a press release/article from the company saying they had become part of the "family" (blech). The vet who left is opening his own practice - its about 3 miles further away but will be getting my business once he's ready.
