Vetco Employee Testimonials

Dr. Fazal Rehman smiling for a picture with a stethoscope around the back of his neck

Vetco Clinics have created a wonderful avenue for me to keep up with general practice skills while I pursue my advanced laboratory animal medicine residency. I can pick up relief shifts whenever it suits my busy schedule. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the teams, the opportunity to teach veterinary assistants, to provide medical care for my patients, as well as answering client questions. Ultimately, the staff and the rapport I have established with the clients I see continues to draw me back to Vetco.

Dr. Faazal Rehman, Vetco 1099 DVM

Vetco has allowed me the opportunity to train not just my direct report, but my peers as well. I greatly enjoy educating and I have been presented with many opportunities to do so. I have become a member of many pillar groups, including groups focusing on future educational courses for our partners.
