In This Episode
In this episode of the Veterinary Innovation Podcast, Shawn Wilkie and Dr. Ivan Zak meet Cory Pinegar, the Founder of Teem, to explore a modern solution to one of the industry’s biggest pain points — staffing. Cory shares how Teem provides cost-effective, remote administrative talent to veterinary clinics, backed by structured training and performance dashboards that make staffing more reliable, scalable, and data-driven.
Can veterinary clinics survive the perfect storm of staffing shortages and rising client expectations without losing the human touch that defines quality care? Cory explains why empathy remains critical in veterinary care, how clinics can strike a balance between AI tools and real people, and why educating, rather than selling, clinics on remote solutions leads to better long-term adoption. With insights drawn from Teem’s rapid growth and real-world implementation, this episode offers a forward-looking view on how clinics can overcome staffing hurdles without compromising care.
