KSU Conference Speakers
Gary Burge, DVM
National PetCare Centers
Dr. Gary Burge earned his veterinary degree from the University of
California at Davis and began his career as an associate veterinarian at
Newport Harbor Animal Hospital in Costa Mesa, California. He became the
managing partner in 1979 and full owner in 1981. Through 1994, Dr. Burge
acquired and sold multiple practices, owning as many as 11 veterinary
hospitals at one time. In 1996, Dr. Burge merged five animal hospitals
that he owned into National PetCare Centers, along
with two animal hospitals in which he was a partner.
Peter Weinstein, DVM, MBA
PAW Consulting, Irvine, CA
Dr. Peter Weinstein received his DVM from the University of
Illinois in
1986. He then moved to southern California and
worked as an associate
veterinarian in a small animal practice
for 3 years. He opened his own
veterinary practice in 1989 and
concurrently worked on his MBA which he
achieved in 1993.
Upon realizing that many practices would benefit from
practice
management advice from someone who had been a
practitioner,
Peter sold his practice in 2000 and went to work as a
full-time practice
management consultant. He spent two
years as the medical director for
Veterinary Pet Insurance, the
nation’s largest and oldest pet insurance
company. He also
served as President of the California Veterinary
Medical
Association for 2003-2004. Peter has worked with hundreds of
hospitals and has spoken with more than half of the nation’s veterinary
schools on topics ranging from team building and leadership to medical
records and marketing.
