" I cant understand why this vet would even want the video or radio show links on her website unless she is trying to scare away exotics clients with her unprofessional communication skills and obvious lack of knowledge of reptiles.



I know that some professionals sometimes adopt a dumbed-down, “just plain folks” communication style with laypersons to avoid being perceived as elitist, however they usually maintain a professional public persona for business reasons.

Even if she doesn’t get it, I would expect the other vets in the practice to have a clue and realize that those presentations are embarrassments that cant be good for business, and urge the practice owner to remove them from the website, and also stop making these inept public appearances for the sake of their financial futures and reputations.



As a pet owner, I would not patronize this clinic because her ignorance of reptiles would make me wonder how knowledgeable she was on canine or feline medicine as well. Not to mention the fact that she publicly slandered every animal breeder with her characterization of them as hoarders."
