Dr. Mark Crootof Biography 

Mark Crootof, DVM  

Mark Crootof has been a veterinarian for over 25 years. He is a successful practice owner and a consultant who specializes in helping veterinarians build and startup new practices. His first startup venture was in 1984 when he renovated two horse barns and converted them into a 3000 sq. ft. veterinary hospital and luxury pet boarding resort, one of the first in the country.

A few years later, he bought a second practice, but because of growth, he again ended up needing more space. This time, however, he designed and built the hospital from scratch, wrangling with bankers, construction teams, zoning boards, and more on his quest to complete the project on time and on budget. During this period, he also helped create a local emergency facility, of which he is a founding member.

Dr. Crootof decided to follow a consulting career a few years ago when he realized he was spending as much time helping his veterinary friends with their construction projects and startups as he was practicing medicine in his own hospital. He also realized how much he enjoyed the startup process and three years ago, he became a full-time consultant in this specialized area.

Dr. Crootof has worked with over 25 veterinarians across the country to help them successfully launch their own practices. He advises them on finding the correct location, financing, hospital design and renovation, computer software, staffing, marketing, pricing, and equipment purchases.

Dr. Crootof is a feature writer for Veterinary Product News, a member of VetPartners (Veterinary Consultant organization, on the Board of Directors for the North American Veterinary Conference (NAVC), Leadership board of AAHA,
Travels extensively talking to Veterinary students at various schools on Business Expertise and to Veterinarians on Recession Proofing their businesses and a proud father to three human children, two dogs and two cats.
