Dr. Chris Rocchio founded Monarch in 2015 to help practice owners looking to transition out of ownership and to help associate veterinarians seeking to buy a practice. After starting two successful small animal hospitals in the Albany, NY area, Chris wanted to create a consulting business that would assist practice owners and associate doctors in transitioning the ownership of private practices. Over the past 10 years, Dr. Rocchio has helped over 65 veterinarians become practice owners and over 100 practice owners transition their practices to new owners. His first-hand knowledge of both the private practice market, as well as the corporate market, makes him unmatched in his qualifications to provide transition advice to Monarch’s clients. Dr. Rocchio continues to own and operate the East Greenbush Animal Hospital with his wife, Dr. Debbie Chew.
