HOW GALAXY OPERATES

Selling your practice means letting go of your legacy and business while only
collecting a paycheck. While many promise to improve upon your achievements,

Many groups say they improve the lives of veterinarians, but we repeatedly
witness practices being acquired and later sold to bigger companies while zero
effort is put into improving working conditions.
