Adam Moeser, DVM, DACVIM – Veterinary Neurology and the Realities of Practice Ownership

From discovering his calling in veterinary neurology to tackling the realities of practice ownership, Dr. Adam Moeser sits down with Dr. Michael Jerkins for a candid conversation on the highs and hurdles of a veterinary career. He shares how an open mind (and a few detours) led him to neurology, why mentorship and internships are game changers, and what aspiring specialists should know before committing to a path.

What is the biggest misconception about owning a veterinary practice? How did COVID-19 reshape demand for care? And where does the industry go as corporate consolidation accelerates? Dr. Moeser pulls back the curtain on everything from his daily neurology cases like epilepsy and intervertebral disc disease to the financial, personal, and systemic challenges veterinarians face today.

This episode mixes real talk on family, balance, and the business side of veterinary medicine. And yes, we even settled the cats-versus-dogs debate — Dr. Moeser’s answer might surprise you. Whether you are a vet student, practice owner, or just curious about the future of animal care, this one is for you.

Here are four takeaways from the conversation with Dr. Adam Moeser:

1. The Path to Specialization

Dr. Adam Moeser shares his journey to becoming a veterinary neurologist, highlighting the importance of exploring various fields before finding his passion. He emphasizes the value of internships and mentorship in shaping his career path.

2. Financial Realities of Practice Ownership

A significant challenge in starting a veterinary practice is the underestimation of expenses. Dr. Moeser discusses the financial hurdles he faced, including budgeting and pricing adjustments, which are often overlooked by new practice owners.

3. Impact of COVID-19 on Veterinary Services

Contrary to initial fears, the demand for veterinary services surged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Moeser attributes this to increased pet adoptions and changes in consumer spending, which led to a busier industry.

4. Balancing Professional and Personal Life

Dr. Moeser reflects on the ongoing struggle to balance work and family life, stressing the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing personal relationships alongside professional responsibilities.

Dr. Michael Jerkins:

And this might be a surprise to listeners, but can you explain how the same company that makes M&Ms owns thousands of vet hospitals? Yes, explain this.

Dr. Adam Moeser:

Mars.

MJ:

Welcome back to another episode of The Podcast for Doctors (By Doctors). I’m Dr. Michael Jerkins, flying solo again today. Apologies if you got really used to Dr. Palmer and the last episode, he is not with me today, but with me in spirit. And today we are really diving into something that a lot of people have experienced in the doctor community, especially over the last five to 10 years.

someone who’s practiced in corporate medicine and been in that kind of rat race or practice setting, if you will, probably more positive way to describe it, and decided to hang his own shingle. We’ve had a couple of people like this already on the podcast, but this one’s slightly different. And I’m very interested in their journey and walking us through how they navigated that, why they did it, what was their experience like.

training and getting into a more corporate setting or employed setting, practicing, and also a veterinarian because I don’t think we’ve had a veterinarian yet on the show as a guest. We will try to fix that, but we are very excited for this particular person who has a really unique story and is going to shed some insight as to the thought process and how it actually worked to exit corporate practice for independent practice.

and having the freedom to practice the way that they want. So enough hot air from me and let’s get to our interview. Today on The Podcast for Doctors (By Doctors), we’re joined by Dr. Adam Moser, the founder and owner of Wisconsin Veterinary Neurology and Surgical Center in McEwan, Wisconsin. Dr. Moser specializes in the treatment of dogs and cats with neurologic disorders. And prior to opening Wisconsin Veterinary Neurology and Surgical Center,

He was a staff neurologist and medical director at MedVet in Commerce, Michigan. Dr. Moser graduated from Knox College and then attended the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine. Following graduation from veterinary school, he completed a one-year small animal internship in Chicago metropolitan area. And then Dr. Moser completed his veterinary neurology residency at the University of Pennsylvania.

MJ:

In addition to being a hospital owner, Dr. Moser is also a minority owner in the Green Bay Packers. No big deal. When he isn’t working, Dr. Moser enjoys spending time with his amazing and supportive family. He enjoys gardening, weightlifting, and spending time with friends. Dr. Moser, welcome to the podcast.

AM:

Thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to be here.

MJ:

This is awesome and I will say this is groundbreaking because you are the first veterinarian to be on the podcast. When did you decide you wanted to be a veterinary neurologist?

AM:

People have had the dream since they were a little kid. That wasn’t necessarily the case with me. I’ve always, you know, grew up having animals in the house. They were always an important part of my life. But going into undergrad, I tried several different majors out. I at first I wanted to go into finance. You know, I thought about going into, you know, physics, astronomy.

And, you know, I was trying just trying stuff out, especially during my first first year of undergrad and it biology just seemed to click the most with me, you know, during first year trying different classes. And so I decided that I wanted to pursue something in the field of biology and just with my love of animals, it seemed like a natural fit for me. And so I probably made the decision late second year of college, definitely by third year, I knew that’s what I wanted to pursue.

And that, you I always tell people go into undergrad, try not to have a closed mind on, you know, this is what I’m gonna be like, try things out, try different classes, you know, English, biology, languages, because you never know what you’re gonna fall in love with. But yeah, it was, you know, during college.

Walk us through then getting into veterinary school. When do you normally decide when you want to specialize? And obviously you got more training. So walk us through that decision and how you picked neurology.

Veterinary school is a little different than medical school. can, so veterinary school is a four year program. And when you’re done with veterinary school and you’ve passed your national boards, your state boards, you can go out and practice veterinary medicine. If you do go out into the field to practice right after veterinary school, you’re probably doing general practice.

Or ER medicine, you know, or it’s, you know, and when I say general practice, that could be a small animal, it could be large animal. If you are interested in specializing or you think you just want a little extra training. And for me, I didn’t even know that I necessarily wanted to specialize right out of veterinary school.

I just, I didn’t feel 100% comfortable going out practicing medicine yet after my fourth year. And I just, wanted another year of mentorship. So I decided to do what’s called a rotating internship. So with a small animal rotating internship, you spend about 50% of your, it’s a one year program, you spend about 50% of your year doing emergency medicine. And then the other 50% is typically spent rotating through different specialties.

And that’s when during that internship, know, I had had some experience working in a basic sciences neurology lab during veterinary school. I, you know, I knew neuro was a field that I enjoyed, but I didn’t know that I wanted to become a neurologist. was during my internship that,fascination and desire grew just from I had worked with one of my mentors, Dr. Heidi Barnes, who interestingly enough, now I’m getting the chance to work with her again in Wisconsin. I had a really positive experience working with her and decided that neuro was what I wanted to pursue.

MJ:

Awesome.

AM:

And then during my second half of my internship when I knew I wanted to specialize that’s when you have to start getting your letters of recommendation together your application and you apply during that that that internship year.

MJ:

So, then you did your residency and then walk us through your first-year practice out. Like, what was that like?

AM:

Residency is a three-year program and very similar to, know, I was leaps and bounds more comfortable with my medicine and technical skills after my residency, but I still felt really green. And I, one of the reasons I went to Michigan, I grew up in Wisconsin, had never lived in Michigan, was for the opportunity to work with and be mentored by a seasoned veterinary neurologist, Michael Wolf. He owned his own neurology-only practice in Commerce, Michigan. So that’s what drew me there, is I wanted to have that mentorship. And I’m really happy I did that.

People tell you that your knowledge is kind of linear, you gain knowledge during your residency, but you learn exponentially kind of those first two or three years out in practice because you just have to do it. You don’t have a backup. can’t say, somebody else try this. Like, you’ve got to do it. So I learned a great deal during those first couple of years. And it was really important for me to have that mentorship as well.

AM:

So, a very positive experience for me. It’s stressful and it’s a lot of work, but it was very positive for me.

MJ:

I can think back to my first couple years in practice and you’re right, it buck stops with you. I mean, obviously there’s colleagues you can call and mentors and things like that, but that’s why I always challenge learners to try to make their own decisions in training. It’s the safest place to fail. Yeah. So that you at least get that muscle, but it’s not, it’s, hard to replicate what it’s like those first couple of years out, out of training.

AM:

Absolutely.

MJ:

How many years did you spend in the corporate side before you said, I kind of want to do my own thing?

AM:

I went to Commerce, Michigan and Dr. Wolf owned the practice. Very similar to what I’m doing right now. He was the sole owner and it was Animal Neurology and MRI Center was the name of the company. And then I think it was probably, that was 2013. I think it was 2017 if I remember correctly, he sold the practice to MedVet.

MedVet is a corporation. They’re not publicly traded, but they have shareholders. They started in, I believe, the Columbus, Ohio area, but now they have a presence nationally. And they bought the practice. We went from, we had neurology as probably 80–90% of our revenue. And we had a small rehab program and a small ER program. The ER program was there just at nighttime—they weren’t 24/7. One of the first things that changed was we went 24/7 on the ER side. And then we started adding other specialties: internal medicine, surgery, cardiology. So it became a true multi-specialty practice.

Then I got the opportunity, after Dr. [retired], to act as the medical director and get my feet wet a little bit with the administrative side, the business side of things. And I had always wanted to come back home as well and go to Wisconsin.

It was hard. I really enjoyed my time in Michigan, and I learned a ton, and I think MedVet is a wonderful company. But getting back home was important to me, and just opening my own practice felt right. It’s something I’ve always been interested in; business has been an interest of mine for a long time, and it seemed like a perfect mix for me.

MJ:
That’s awesome. And it sounds like it’s been great so far. It’s very stressful, obviously, opening up your own practice. What do you think the biggest misconception is that doctors have about starting their own practice?

AM:
For me, even having had the experience as a medical director, I completely underestimated the expenses as a practice owner. I remember when I was first working with Panacea and applying for my business startup loan—they have you fill out your budget, your projected revenues, and projected expenses. And I look back at that process, and I really underestimated how expensive everything is.

I think when you’re working as an associate and you’re not truly involved in all of the business decisions on a day-to-day basis, it’s easy to think, “Man, these prices are ridiculous. They’re just all they care about is money,” you know, like these corporations, the practice owners. And then when you get into ownership, you really see all of the expenses that go into everything—whether that’s the health insurance for your team, retirement, and then just equipment, equipment maintenance, purchases. I really underestimated that.

It’s been a little bit of trial and error when it comes to my pricing. When I first opened, I was pricing myself kind of what I was used to pre-COVID in Michigan, and that was not adequate at all. I’ve had to increase prices, and I think we’re finally getting to a more appropriate level. But that’s been the biggest eye-opener for me: the daily expenses of running a business, especially a medical facility.

MJ:
It’s almost like the parallels of what we were talking about earlier—your first years out of school and in practice, you learn a lot just by doing. Same thing with owning a practice—you really could have never learned all of what you learned as a practice owner until you actually did it, right?

AM:
Correct.

MJ:

And you had tons of experience already clinically and administratively. I do have questions on veterinary neurology, if I may, because I’m fascinated with it. So, I, as a med-peds doctor, see common cases like diabetes, hypertension, asthma, COPD, things like that, right? Those are kind of your bread-and-butter outside of preventative care. What are those cases for a veterinary neurologist? What are the bread-and-butter diagnoses and chronic issues you treat?

AM:
The biggest things that we see are epilepsy—and epilepsy could be primary epilepsy. We don’t have all of the genetic mutations worked out yet, so we still use the term idiopathic epilepsy. Most of those probably are genetic; we just haven’t figured it out yet. But then there’s also secondary epileptic cases, where they’ve got a brain tumor, a stroke, or encephalitis causing their seizures.

We do see a lot of seizure cases, and sometimes it’s a family whose primary vet has gotten to the end of the road. They don’t know what else to do medication-wise; the seizures aren’t controlled, and they need us to provide more support while working with that primary veterinarian. Sometimes the families want a more definitive diagnosis, so we do an MRI and a spinal tap to figure out the cause of the epilepsy. That’s a big one.

The other bread-and-butter for us is intervertebral disc disease. Because of breeding, especially in dogs (it happens in cats, but not nearly as much), we’ve developed all these breeds and unintentionally bred into them some pretty significant degenerative disorders. For example, chondrodystrophic breeds like Frenchies, Dachshunds, and Beagles—their discs age very rapidly. If we did an MRI of a Frenchie or a Dachshund at two years of age, we’re probably going to see evidence of chondroid degeneration of that disc. That degenerative process puts them at risk of herniating that disc.

We see a lot of disc herniation, especially in chondrodystrophic breeds. That might entail medical management using NSAIDs or steroids, pain meds, and rest, but it also can include surgery. We use advanced imaging to get a diagnosis. In my practice, we use an MRI; some dogs use a CT to make that diagnosis and then follow up with surgery.

Another big item for us is encephalitides—just the inflammatory diseases, especially in dogs. A lot of toy breeds—Maltese, Yorkies—get autoimmune inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system. That can include inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) or inflammation of the spine (myelitis), or both together.

Diagnosis involves MRI and spinal tap, and treatment oftentimes is really long-term: steroids, chemotherapy drugs like cytarabine for its immunosuppressive effects, cyclosporine. We have to manage those cases sometimes for years.

AM:
With veterinary neurology, some of your cases are short-term cases, like the Dachshund or the Frenchie with the herniated disc. Usually, you see them for maybe a month or two until they’re doing well, and then they go back to their primary vet. Some of the epileptic and encephalitis cases, we might be working with those families for years.

So, we see short-term clients and long-term clients. But I would say those three—epileptics, inflammatory CNS diseases, and disc herniations—are probably the majority of what we do.

MJ:
Fascinating, that is fascinating. Is there a breed of dog that has the highest incidence of epilepsy? Is there any kind of breed that is predisposed?

AM:
Any dog can get epilepsy. There are some breeds that have a higher incidence, and also some, like the herding breeds—Australian Cattle Dogs, Shepherds—for whatever reason, they seem to be harder to manage. They oftentimes are refractory to typical medications.

So there are some breeds, but any breed can be affected by idiopathic epilepsy.

MJ:
This wasn’t on my script, but I just had to, while talking to you, have a curbside consult with my own cat. We have this cat who is old, but actually quite mean to almost every human outside of our family. I used to live in Arizona. We flew the cat, which was a weird experience, from Arizona to Tennessee. I was instructed by our vet—or maybe I asked at the time—for some sort of medicine to make sure my cat made it through the plane. I gave her this medicine, and she was zonked, and then she was actually a pretty sweet cat.

But afterward, everything changed. She hates the world. Did the medicine potentially mess her up, or is it more me as a terrible cat dad giving her so much trauma with the flight? Is that a thing, or am I making it up?

AM:
I don’t think you did any permanent damage. I’m guessing they gave you gabapentin?

MJ:
I don’t know. This was pre-med school, so I didn’t know anything about medical issues or medications. Who knows?

AM:
Sometimes cats just get a little grouchy as they get older, just like people. That might be what happened.

MJ:
I actually had a patient who was a veterinary radiologist specializing in large animal radiology, and I had so many questions because I didn’t know, a couple of years out of residency, that basically every human specialty that exists also exists on the veterinary side. Is that generally true?

AM:
We’re not as specialized. For example, an internal medicine specialist is going to do not only nephrology but also urology. We haven’t necessarily split it into fellowships for every subspecialty. There are broader classifications like neurology, medicine, surgery. Yeah, there’s dentistry, nutrition, behavior, ophthalmology. Most human specialties can be found in veterinary medicine.

MJ:
As a neurologist, are you mostly treating small animals, or do you treat large animals as well?

AM:
I just do small animals. During residency, you have to get exposure to large animal neurology, and your boards include it as well. But it’s just hard financially to make it as a large animal neurologist.

You could potentially make it in certain parts of the country—I’m thinking Kentucky—as an equine neurologist. But in agriculture, there’s still the economic decision the farmer has to make: “How much money are we going to put into this animal?” Outside of academics, it’s just not feasible.

MJ:
Makes sense. There are several medical subspecialties you basically can’t do outside a large academic center because you can’t make money in private practice. That makes sense. Explain to me how COVID changed how people behaved with their pets and the demand for veterinary services.

AM:
COVID was a really interesting time. When it first hit and all the shutdowns happened, we were worried the economy would crater, so we started cutting back our hours. If we normally had two neurologists on staff, we went down to one, with the other at home.

We quickly realized that assumption was wrong. The veterinary industry actually became leaps and bounds busier during COVID. There are all sorts of theories as to why.

Lots of people went out and got animals because everyone was stuck inside and needed companionship. Adoption rates went way up. Some people couldn’t spend money on vacations, so they spent more on their pets. The industry got really busy, and that’s still the case.

The mental health aspect of veterinary medicine became much bigger in our daily lives. Doctors, support staff, technicians—there was a rise in mental health issues in the workplace. During COVID, everyone was stressed and anxious, so sometimes interactions with clients weren’t the friendliest, and that takes a toll on team members.

Things are returning to a more normal level of busyness. During COVID, it was impossible to keep support staff—everyone was leaving the industry. Hospitals competed with each other, raising salaries for techs. There was this rotating system where a tech would leave one hospital, go to another, then within a year come back. Some of that has normalized, but one lasting effect of COVID is that the industry is now much more aware of mental health for ourselves and our team members.

Before, it was kind of like, “Yeah, you’re busy, but deal with it.” That’s just what being a vet meant. Now we understand that driving someone so hard until burnout isn’t right, and we’re trying to fix that.

MJ:
Wow. Hopefully that’s a good byproduct. My understanding is that the percentage growth Americans spend on veterinary services is outpacing dental and medical growth, even post-COVID. Hearing you talk about being overstretched, are veterinary schools really meeting the demand?

MJ:
For the services—by the way, I know there are a couple more vet schools opening up—how do you feel the veterinary industry is meeting this increased demand?

AM:
I think, as a field, we’ve been reactionary for a long time, which is hard. I remember when I first finished my residency and went to some specialty conferences, a lot of the talk was like, “These private practice residencies, we’ve got to get it right. We can’t let this happen. The market’s going to be flooded with neurologists, it’s going to drive down compensation, and no one’s going to have enough work to do.” I distinctly remember those conversations.

Then within a couple of years, the pendulum swung completely to the other side: we don’t have nearly enough primary care doctors, ER doctors, specialists. Right now, there’s a huge need in every aspect of veterinary medicine—food safety, large animal, agriculture, small animal. I do know the veterinary schools are trying their best. They’re increasing class sizes. You’re right, there are new schools opening up, but one of the hard parts is state funding for some academic institutions. Budgetary problems in some states make it challenging to figure out how to get more veterinarians out there.

AM:
It’s made more difficult if people know they’re going to come out of veterinary school with $200,000 in student debt. They’re trying to increase class sizes and start new schools, but one obstacle is: how does a person finance the decision to go to veterinary school? That’s a critical part of the equation. To encourage more people to go, you have to make them feel comfortable that if they spend all this money, they’ll be able to pay the loans back.

MJ:
I want to focus on that for a second, just on the macro environment of veterinary medicine. This might surprise listeners, but can you explain how the same company that makes M&Ms owns thousands of vet hospitals?

AM:
Mars?

MJ:
Yes, explain this.

AM:
Last I knew, I believe they own BluePearl, one of the largest multi-specialty and ER hospitals. They own VCA, also one of the largest multi-specialty ER hospitals. I believe they own Banfield, if I’m not mistaken, which is a very large general practice hospital. I also believe they own one of the major pet food companies—I can’t remember if it’s Hills. They control a huge share of the veterinary industry.

How Mars even came into the veterinary industry from the candy industry, I don’t know. But, the growth in the veterinary or pet industry has been so consistent for so long that it made sense as a business decision. They’ve had some monopoly issues in parts of the country, where they had to divest some hospitals so there isn’t a high concentration of BluePearls and VCAs in one area. But yes, it’s true.

MJ:
It’s crazy, right? Thinking about divestment, increased demand, and spending on pets and veterinary medicine—where do you see independent practices in the next 10 years? Are they thriving or shrinking?

AM:
In my little bubble here in Wisconsin, I see people doing what I did: leaving multi-specialty practices and opening practices focused on surgery, dermatology, or neurology. Some doctors are leaving corporate practices and starting their own.

One of the biggest problems is that when doctors reach retirement age and want to leave, corporations still dominate the purchase process. Historically, if you owned a practice, you could bring in associates and work out a plan for them to buy the practice over five or ten years. Even though some people are branching off, it still seems that when a practice is sold, it usually goes to a corporation.

That trend continues. We will see more independent practices open, driven by job satisfaction and quality of life. Doctors often find working for independent practices more rewarding than corporate ones, so they will continue to pursue that.

It would be nice to see those practices stay independent. The challenge is when someone has worked 30 years—they deserve fair compensation. If a corporation has the cash to pay them what they need, why wouldn’t they go with that? But it would be good to give newer grads the ability to compete and potentially purchase these practices.

A big part of that comes down to student loan debt. If students didn’t spend 10–20 years paying off loans, they’d have more resources to buy into practices. Another area veterinary schools historically haven’t done well in is teaching business. Adding business classes as a core requirement could make new grads more comfortable with owning a practice and help with the transition between independent owners.

MJ:
There are a lot of parallels in what you said across medical and dental as well. Echoing some of the stuff you said earlier, in our experience working with folks across the country in all three fields, when you get out of training, you want to make sure you get your feet under you clinically—getting those reps, getting the experience. Then, the second thing is paying off some of those debts. Maybe not the whole thing, but getting a line of sight on what’s going to happen.

Once I check those two boxes, I feel like I can take a step back and consider practice ownership. On the dental side, new data from the ADA shows that for grads zero to five years out, only eight percent are becoming owners. But if you look further out, six to ten years, many more end up getting into practice ownership—it’s just not something they do early as much as they did 10–15 years ago. Similarly, from the data I’ve seen on vets, for all the reasons you said, it’s comparable.

Let me ask a couple of rapid-fire questions as we wrap up, if that’s okay. I’ll give you statements, and you tell me if they’re true or false.

First statement: veterinary medicine is becoming more corporate than human medicine.

AM:
Yeah.

MJ:
My experience with my own physicians—I can’t remember the last time I went to a doctor who wasn’t part of a huge mega group in Wisconsin, whether that’s Ascension or Aurora Health. Most human doctors are affiliated with a large group, even if they have their own offices.

AM:
Yeah, the data supports that.

MJ:
True or false: veterinarians on average are nicer than physicians.

AM:
That is definitely true.

MJ:
100% true. My gosh, it’s just funny. If you go to trade shows, vet shows are hilarious—everyone’s so nice, welcoming, and kind. Even within the emergency medicine space, conferences are super laid back. But the orthopedic surgery conferences are different.

AM:
That’s nature or nurture? People who are nice just end up becoming vets?

MJ:
I think our orthopedic surgery group has one of their annual conferences in Vail—they ski after maybe an hour or two of talks in the morning.

AM:
Yeah, I remember in med school going to a general surgery conference in New Orleans. I thought I was supposed to attend all lectures. My mentor texts me at one o’clock: “Where are you?” I said, “I’m at the talk.” He said, “No, we’re out.” I didn’t realize that’s what you were supposed to do at these conferences.

MJ:
Next true or false: movement disorders in cats and dogs are the same as in humans.

AM:
I’d say false. We understand much less about them. Many are idiopathic movement disorders—they don’t respond to anticonvulsants, and the etiology is not fully known. We’re still in the infancy of understanding these, though mapping the canine and feline genome is helping.

MJ:
True or false: cats are better pets than dogs.

AM:
True. I’ve always been a cat person—grew up with cats.

MJ:
I’m biased too. I’ve heard a quote: “The only reason cats don’t eat you is because they’re not big enough.” It makes me question how much my cat actually likes me. I told you, she’s not very nice—maybe I drugged her with gabapentin on the airplane.

MJ:
Last question we ask every guest: what’s one thing you’ve changed your mind about recently? Doesn’t have to be your profession.

AM:
I underestimated how difficult balancing family with professional life would be. I wish I’d prioritized family earlier. Right out of school, you feel pressure to achieve and please your bosses. Unfortunately, loved ones sometimes get shoved aside. I’d go back and spend more time with family.

MJ:
Of course, the future gives you a chance to correct those errors. Work-life balance in veterinary medicine is still a work in progress.

AM:
Absolutely. I struggle all the time when someone calls—a client or another vet—late in the day. Part of me wants to help, but I also need to be home with my family. It’s a constant struggle.

MJ:
Do you take call?

AM:
Yeah. I’m the only neurologist at my practice, so I’m kind of on call 24/7. I have some boundaries Monday–Friday. If it’s nine o’clock on a Sunday, I try to see the case first thing Monday morning. But if it’s 10 a.m. on Saturday and a dog is paralyzed, I have to come in. Other neurologists might say that’s not enough—they’d be in at 10 p.m. every night. As I add associates, our on-call coverage will increase.

MJ:
I’ve got a lot of questions, but I won’t take more of your time. Congrats on your success, and thank you for sharing your wisdom. Is there a place people can find you online?

AM:
Yes, wisconsinanimalneuro.com is our website. Check out our blogs and educational videos. If people have a veterinary neurology question or an animal that needs to be seen, they can call or email us.

MJ:
Awesome. Thank you, Dr. Moeser.

AM:
Thank you for the opportunity. Appreciate it.
