What makes us different?
We coach the new way.
We work with many veterinary professionals who have built limits into their business; instead of building a sustainable venture, they work to do everything themselves. Long hours, high stress, thin profits, and inconsistent patient care become a burden to grin and bear.
It can even cause a great doctor to question whether or not they are good enough to do it. These problems are not specific to any one kind of veterinary practice. They can be found in solo-practitioners in rural America, multi-doctor practices in the suburbs, or large, multi-location hospitals in big cities. This is a symptom of the old way of building and running a successful business. We exist because we believe you deserve to build and run the kind of practice that you know, deep down, you are capable of creating.
We exist because we believe you deserve to live a life you can be excited about.
We bring an unrivaled depth of experience that is trusted by clients from coast to coast.
We’re successful because we do things differently, and we stand out where it counts. Our team brings broad-based expertise and a tailored approach to every client. With contemporary experience in hospitals of all sizes and models and an average industry tenure of 18 years – we mean it when we say we’ve seen it all.
We are a team rooted in the success of yours.
We not only want to see you succeed – we’ll get you there. But for us, financial impact isn’t a purpose. Our clients experience results as a byproduct of medicine and operations working harmoniously together at a high level.

Our hospital has worked with Blue Heron Consulting for several years. After taking a hard look at how we operated, they helped us turn it upside down. Now we are leaner, having more fun and certainly more profitable.
I was skeptical at first of what would come with the consulting however I went into it with an open mind. The results were mind blowing. The changes in the hospital stretched from the front desk to the doctors. The profitability skyrocketed and we continue to improve now 3 years out. Don’t hesitate to contact BHC you won’t regret it!
I have owned my practice for 16 years and have had 3 different consultants prior to hiring Blue Heron. None of the others have allowed our practice to achieve the growth we have seen with Blue Heron in the short time we have been working with them. They have allowed me to realize that I will be able to pursue other interests sooner than I ever thought possible. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone who struggles with the day-to-day operations of trying to run a profitable veterinary practice.
The experience with Blue Heron was very personal. It was very specific to our practice and wasn’t just the numbers, it was about the people. As a BHC client, you are going to practice better medicine, you’re gonna’ make more money and you are going to have more fun – and that was a guarantee.
They came and actually interviewed every single employee, they actually watched the work flow, they really analyzed the business before they came up with a plan and made decisions. If your business isn’t as profitable as it is supposed to be, then I think they’d more than pay for themselves in any given situation and you should do it.
Out of all the groups or people that we talked to, Blue Heron is the only one in which we have seen as significant of a change and one that did justify the expense.
I want to thank you for helping me have the courage to do the right thing, best medicine for every patient, every time. It is what the clients want. I am so grateful for your coaching and helping us implement a new strategy.
The coaches at BHC have provided my team with the guidance we needed to overcome some pretty significant hurdles… from finding to integrating our new practice manager, assisting with some culture challenges, and helping us better understand our financials. And the formation of the PIT crew has given some of my team members the extra responsibilities and feeling of ownership over program development, team training and the success of our practice.
BHC is a life saver. They were able to see the forest through the trees when we no longer could. It is hard work, but so worth it. We now have a tremendously happy staff and production keeps going up.
My whole perception of veterinary medicine has changed for the better and I can honestly tell you that I enjoy my job more than I ever have. For the first time in my career I feel like I would actually encourage my own kids to join the profession if they wanted to be part of it.
We never really had a formalized “This is what we expect from you” and I think they really helped enforce that with each member, personally, one on one.
This has been the greatest experience of my professional career. I don’t think good will ever be good enough anymore.
It wasn’t just a “Here’s what you can do and now it’s yours to deal with.” It was “Here’s what we can do together”. It’s been really exciting to see how people get jazzed about it. If you are complacent with mediocrity, then don’t hire them. I’m not complacent with mediocrity. I want to be better than average.
I think what they are doing is phenomenal.
I started my very first day as a Practice Manager on the day that Blue Heron Consulting came for their site visit. [Their coaches] have been an invaluable resource for me to use while I navigated my new team, changed protocols, and fine-tuned my goals. I would highly recommend this service for any team that wants to find success in the practice of veterinary medicine!
It’s the personalization of it. It helped me to become a better manager to help the team. They work one on one with you and they come in and work with your team. They are not there for the money, they are there to help you grow.
I just wanted to let you know how personally I enjoyed the onsite visit. I wish they could’ve stayed one more day! I have heard nothing but positive comments from the staff onsite visit. I wish they could’ve stayed one more day! I have heard nothing but positive comments from the staff about them. It was a great experience and helped me extremely. And I appreciated how they even came out last night to support me and my son as he practiced showing his cattle. It was great for him and me to see your support.
BHC has helped us grow as a unit and we are able to work fluidly together. We are able to communicate concerns and work towards solutions to best meet our needs as well as be able to work with the recommendations of BHC.
