PRACTICE MANAGEMENT TOOLS

- VGP also provides access to practice coaches and partner offerings to help the business side of your practice run more efficiently, effectively and profitably.

VGP Member Testimonial
Working with VGP as a new startup practice has been amazing and an absolute necessity. Their workshops are so crucial in helping us set our practice up for success, our practice coach has been an AMAZING supportive cheerleader & helps us to work through our frustrations & hospital processes regularly. The financial and inventory analyses that VGP provides annually have been eye-opening and
really helped us to focus on benchmarks and streamline our operations. We also get discounts from their preferred vendors, which has been so helpful in keeping our costs lowered on inventory, merchant services, and other services like online reputation management. I honestly don’t think we’d have been nearly as successful in our first two (almost three!) years of being open if we hadn’t been VGP members, which we joined even before we opened our doors on a recommendation from our MWI representative.
Best decision we’ve made, we highly recommend joining VGP!
