367 - Should we even BE on social media?

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by negativity in Facebook groups or struggled with whether you should even engage on veterinary social media, this episode of the Uncharted Veterinary Podcast is for you. Dr. Andy Roark and Stephanie Goss dig into the stress that comes from online reputation battles, why comment section arguments rarely work in your favor, and how to set healthy social media boundaries while still using platforms for client connection, practice marketing, and online reputation management. Whether you’re a veterinary practice manager, owner, or associate veterinarian, you’ll walk away with clarity on when to step back, when to lean in, and how to protect your energy while still reaping the benefits of social media for your clinic. Let's get into this episode!

Office Hours

Inside the Uncharted Veterinary Community, Dr. Andy Roark hosts Office Hours where veterinary leaders can bring real-world challenges and get practical guidance from someone who understands the realities of practice life. These sessions give veterinarians, practice managers, and team leaders a chance to ask questions, workshop difficult situations, and gain perspective on issues like team dynamics, communication, burnout, and clinic operations. Instead of navigating leadership challenges alone, members get direct access to Andy’s insight along with the support of a community of veterinary professionals working through many of the same challenges.
