Episode Details

When your top-producing veterinarian starts squeezing in extra appointments, turning in higher invoices, and choosing more expensive medications, it can spark concerns about whether you have a “money hungry vet” on your team. In this episode of the Uncharted Veterinary Podcast, Dr. Andy Roark and veterinary management consultant Monica Dixon Perry unpack the challenges of production-based compensation, continuity of care, and staff perception. They share strategies practice owners and managers can use to protect trust, support their doctors, and keep teams aligned without sacrificing client confidence or financial stability.

Monica brings nearly four decades of veterinary experience to the conversation, with a career spanning hospital leadership, consulting, and corporate partnership roles. Now a Senior Manager in BerryDunn’s Outsourced Accounting Practice Group, she guides practices in optimizing operations, improving financial health, and strengthening community impact. Monica is a trusted voice on the global veterinary speaking circuit, known for blending empathy and strategy to help teams thrive. She’ll also be speaking at the Uncharted Get Sh*t Done 2025: Financial Edition this October 29th, where she’ll dive even deeper into practical tools for veterinary leaders. Let's get into this episode!
