Who we are:
Why this work matters
Dr. Richard Alker didn’t start Synergy Veterinary Practice Transitions because he saw a gap in the market. He started it because he saw what mattered most being overlooked—the people behind the practice. The years. The relationships. The quiet sacrifices made to build something that lasts.

Testimonials:
“We recently sold our veterinary clinic with the help of Dr. Richard Alker, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience. Richard is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and brings a unique perspective as a veterinarian himself. He truly understands the needs and concerns that come with selling a practice. From the start, Richard was a fantastic negotiator, always fair to both sides and consistently offering creative solutions to keep things moving forward. He was readily available and took the time to walk us through every step of the process, right up to (and even after) closing.
We are extremely happy with the final outcome and deeply appreciate Richard’s expertise, dedication, and support. We truly could not have done this without him.”
Dr. David GundersonLeesburg, Florida
Dr. Alker is the ultimate professional in veterinary valuations and working with the practice owners in marketing and selling/ buying a practice. Dr. Alker is active with practice owners from the first introduction to closing. He is always working hard with each practice owner to find the “right fit”, both financially and culturally.
Jim HerringChief Development Officer American Veterinary Group
Working with Dr. Richard Alker was an amazing experience; from our first telephone conversation all the way to the day of closing, and the ongoing professional relationship that continues to this day. Dr. Alker made sure to put my business goals as the top priority, and employed all his resources and connections to help guide me towards obtaining financing and setting up the company structure before closing. I cannot say enough about his diligence, timeliness, and patience with me as a practice buyer throughout the entire process. I fully recommend Dr. Richard Alker to any veterinarian looking to buy or sell a practice.
Dr. Juan Colom Orlando, Florida
Selling our veterinary practice in 2024 was a significant milestone in our life, Rebecca and I truly
couldn’t have done it without the guidance and support of Dr. Richard Alker. From our very first
conversation, Dr. Alker demonstrated exceptional communication skills, always making himself
available to answer questions and provide insight. As someone relatively new to the veterinary
industry from a business perspective, we found his depth of knowledge and willingness to share it
invaluable. He guided us through each stage of the process with clarity, patience, and
professionalism, ensuring we felt informed and confident in every decision. I’m sincerely grateful for
his role in making this transition a successful one.

Dr. Alker has been invaluable in assisting me in the sale of my practice. Along with his experience
and knowledge, he was efficient, patient, supportive, responsive, and understanding of achieving my
goals in the transition of the business. He was an excellent liaison between attorneys, buyer and
myself. From my perspective, he strives to make the transition a win-win for seller and buyer. Dr.

The first step is simply a conversation
You don’t need to have all the answers. You just need someone who gets what’s at stake, and who will treat your decision with the dignity it deserves.
No hard pitch. Just a one-on-one conversation.
