Ready, Vet, Go

Dr. Kelly Cooper is an author, speaker, and the founder of Reality Vet Coaching & Consulting, as well as a practicing veterinarian in Portland, Oregon. She has over 25 years of industry success, first as an independent rural, mixed-animal practice owner and then as a vice president with Banfield Pet Hospital. Having grown up in the trenches of jumping-in-over- your-head, cringe-worthy life lessons, and light-bulb a-ha moments, she is a story-teller with an authentic and pragmatic perspective about the realities of working with people and the business of veterinary medicine. Dr. Cooper is an award-winning leader who has built many high-performing teams and coached numerous doctors, managers, and managers-of-managers to success and career satisfaction. She is a member of VetPartners, volunteers on the AVMA Council on Veterinary Services, and is a past president of the Oklahoma VMA.
