Chères consoeurs, chers confrères,

Nous sommes actuellement 2 associés et 3 salariés dans une clinique vétérinaire au sud de Nancy. (2 CES orthopédie, 2 CES ophtalmologie, en attente CES dermatologie et CEAV médecine interne)

Nous investissons beaucoup et avons une stabilité financière très bonne. D’ici 2012, la structure fera 580 m2 et comprendra 3 salles de consultation, 3 blocs de chirurgie, une salle de soin, 3 chenils. Nous sommes bien équipés (Scanner hélicoïdal 16 coupes, RX numérique, video endoscopes, arthroscopes, échographe et les blocs sont bien entendu équipés pour tout type de chirurgie (orthopédie, neurologie, abdo, thorax, arthroscopie)

Nous avons beaucoup investi dans la formation.

Notre structure a une clientèle locale et 1/3 de notre activité est référée (avec un potentiel, nous en sommes convaincus, encore très grand en arthroscopie, neurochirurgie et thoracique ).

Nous voudrions nous associer avec un chirurgien diplômé ou éligible du collège américain ou européen qui désire s’investir dans notre structure afin de développer l’activité chirurgie. Nous souhaitons développer un service de qualité pour nos clients et nos confrères de la région et créer un CHV à moyen terme.

A notre connaissance, il n’y a pas de spécialiste dans le grand quart est. Les premiers spécialistes étant à Paris ou Lyon (c’est à dire 400kms)

Nancy est une ville centrale dans l’est de la France et est très bien desservie par les autoroutes et le TGV (Nancy /Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1h10) C’est une ville jeune (étudiante) et dynamique.

Si ce projet vous intéresse, merci de me contacter par mail à s.deleporte@wanadoo.fr ou olivier.balland@wanadoo.fr

Sébastien Deleporte et Olivier Balland
