SBDC Success Story - The owners of Western Veterinary Clinic (WVC) are celebrating the third anniversary of their expansion and remodel. The construction project was started in 2017 to accommodate WVC’s growing mixed animal practice. The buildout nearly doubled the clinic’s size and made it more functional and attractive. “We went from three exam rooms to six with additional workspace and opened up the lobby considerably,” said Dr. Lee Garbel. The $1.2 million project included a 1,400 square-foot addition and 1,500 square-foot remodel. The renovation also gave the clinic more retail space for pet products and room for another veterinarian.
