Healing Arts Veterinary Center

What Healing Arts Veterinary Center does

Healing Arts Veterinary Center is a single-location, privately held integrative companion-animal veterinary practice in West Palm Beach, Florida, founded in 2006 by husband-and-wife veterinarians Dr. Bill Sharpe (Medical Director) and Dr. Daniela Gorgevska. The practice serves local pet owners in West Palm Beach and surrounding Southeast Florida communities across the full care lifecycle, from preventive wellness and diagnostics to surgery, dental care, physical rehabilitation, and end-of-life care. Its clinical staff has expanded to include Dr. Elena Bettale and Dr. Robert Burgess.

The practice's core offering is a unified, one-roof service model combining traditional veterinary medicine with rehabilitation modalities and support services. Medical services include wellness exams, vaccinations, parasite control, surgery, dental care, and diagnostics supported by an in-house laboratory, digital radiography, and ultrasound. A differentiated rehabilitation program uses specialized equipment—an underwater treadmill (speeds up to 5 mph with resistance jets) and a temperature-controlled hydrotherapy pool—alongside cold laser therapy and therapeutic exercise. The practice also offers grooming, boarding, and daycare with medical monitoring. Client-facing technology is delivered through a white-labeled PetDesk mobile app for booking, refills, and health-record access, while AI-powered outbound communication (AVA Voice / AVA Outbound) automates appointment reminders and wellness notifications.

Revenue is generated on a professional-services, pay-as-you-go basis across four streams: veterinary medical services, grooming, boarding/daycare, and physical rehabilitation, all billed per-visit at time of service. Go-to-market is sales-led and appointment-based (with online booking, drop-offs, and walk-ins), supported by consumer-facing acquisition tactics including a $50-off first-visit promotion, a $25/$25 "Fur-iends" referral program, CareCredit financing, and community engagement. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The customer base is horizontally segmented across general pet owners, rehabilitation patients, grooming clients, boarding/daycare users, and senior pets.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Thrive Pet Healthcare: Veterinary consolidator building a multi-site network of general practice, emergency, and specialty hospitals including in Florida. Comparable as a peer-consolidator target and competitor; shares Healing Arts' diversification across GP, specialty, and rehab.
• PetVet Care Centers: Multi-site veterinary operator with general practice and specialty hospitals including rehabilitation across the U.S. Comparable as both competitor and potential acquirer; relevant peer for benchmarking independent practice economics.

Broad incumbents

• Petco Veterinary Services: Petco's expanding in-store and standalone veterinary clinic network entering Florida markets. Comparable on general companion-animal services and increasingly on grooming/boarding adjacencies; represents low-cost competitive threat for routine visits.
• National Veterinary Associates (NVA): One of the largest veterinary practice ownership platforms in the U.S. with hundreds of general practice and specialty hospitals. Most directly relevant as a potential acquirer of an independent single-site clinic like Healing Arts.
• BluePearl Pet Hospital: National specialty and emergency veterinary hospital chain with multiple Florida locations. Provides specialty services including rehabilitation that overlap with Healing Arts' rehab offering, while also absorbing after-hours emergency cases the single-location independent cannot.
• MedVet: Specialty and emergency veterinary hospital chain with presence in Florida. Comparable on advanced clinical capability and rehabilitation equipment, providing direct competition for post-surgical and chronic-condition referral caseload.
• VCA Animal Hospitals: Largest network of general and specialty veterinary hospitals in North America (now part of Mars Veterinary Health). Competes with Healing Arts across general companion-animal services and increasingly in specialty/rehabilitation in South Florida, but at vastly greater scale and capital base.
• Banfield Pet Hospital: Largest general veterinary practice network in the U.S., primarily co-located inside PetSmart stores. Competes for the same West Palm Beach pet-owner segment on preventive care and wellness, though lacking rehabilitation and integrative services.

Regional players

• Veterinary Specialty Hospital of Palm Beach Gardens: Specialty and emergency veterinary hospital serving the Palm Beach County market. Direct regional competitor for specialty caseload and after-hours emergencies; demonstrates the established specialty hospital benchmark in Healing Arts' immediate geography.
• Pet Doctor by Animal Medical Center (West Palm Beach): Other independent veterinary clinics in West Palm Beach / Palm Beach County offering comparable general companion-animal care, often without the specialty rehab equipment — directly comparable on local market dynamics, customer overlap, and pricing benchmarks.
