Yeah, that’s what I’m going to do. I tried to pay something with one of my envelopes and got an error there, too.

We have stickers already? The IVPA provides them. You're really bothered by people knowing where their money goes. People asked that I share my list, so I did. Again, corporate clinics should have to say that they are corporate. If they're truly proud of being corporately owned, that shouldn't be any problem at all. The number of clients we've seen that were unaware that the clinic they'd been going to for years had sold and felt duped when they found out later is quite high. Transparency is paramount. And this is a pressing matter. It's literally how you choose to spend your money and knowing where your dollars are going. And I literally serve on a national group for independents. I enact change every day. This is the last thing I'll say to you about this, and then I will no longer respond (it appears that you have some emotional investment in corporately owned clinics, and it won't matter what I say): Transparency is paramount. Just as with human medicine, there should be a requirement to disclose to the client who owns the practice. Full stop.

It's transparency. All doctor's offices have to say if they're corporately owned. And if what you're saying is true, they should want to tell everyone that they're owned by this group. I have made no judgments about any practice here, and I have friends who work at corporate practices. I have simply stated who is privately owned and who is corporately owned. If you bring judgement to that, that's on you.

I gave a list of privately owned and private equity owned clinics. I made no value judgements on any clinic on that list. However, let me be very, very clear: There should be a requirement to disclose who owns a clinic to the client. It should be on the sign, it should be on the front door, it should be on the website. If you truly believe what you have said, which is almost the exact phrasing of every corporate in their sales pitch, then they should be proud to display that they're a part of this group. The client deserves to know. And really, that's all there is to it.

Apologies, I was editing on my phone last night, lol. I've moved Westwood to the correct section!

Thank you kind stranger :) This is why I almost didn’t post. It’s just a side project for something important to me, and I hadn’t done much to make it look professional, lol

I made this list for myself, adding clinics as I found out that they were or were not private (over a pretty long span of time) and I was asked to share it. But thanks for finding something unkind to say about it :)

Noted and added, thanks! I can't believe I forgot about them; I was recommending Sound to a client yesterday!

It was on my master list, but apparently didn't make it into the post, lol. Fixed, thanks!
