Serge Deuvletian

Serge Deuvletian: Purpose-Driven Leadership in Veterinary Care

Some leaders arrive with ambitious goals, structured business strategies, and a clear vision of market expansion. In contrast, Serge Deuvletian, a Veterinary Clinic Owner, did not set out with the intention of leading. Yet he went on to build one of the most enduring independent veterinary clinics in Montreal. His journey towards becoming a clinic owner was never part of any well-thought-out plan, but emerged out of necessity from a string of events that shaped him. Serge has been leading Clinique Vétérinaire de Montréal, single-handedly, for 25 years now. Over the span of two decades and more, he has watched the demise of many independent veterinary clinics swallowed by big corporations. He has managed to navigate his way through tough times, including financial troubles and personal breakdowns. The clinic that stands today is not a monument to ambition. It is the result of persistence under pressure, built steadily over decades, against odds that would have halted most journeys long before they reached this point. A Veterinarian’s Path of Perseverance Serge Deuvletian did not open the clinic because he wanted to become an entrepreneur. He opened it because he had no other option left. After graduating from veterinary school, he explored every possible path. He worked as an associate, approached established practices, and considered partnership opportunities. None of these options worked out. He did not stay in any position for more than a year. “I was forced out of my comfort zone and I was not happy about it,” he says. His tone reflects his direct and honest way of speaking. Serge Deuvletian had always valued stability. He studied at Collège Stanislas for 13 years, from kindergarten to graduation, a stretch of consistency that few people manage in any chapter of life. He was not someone who gave up easily. However, the veterinary field kept pushing him away until his father intervened. His father, a pharmacist who owned a successful pharmacy right next door, became the founding investor of the clinic. The financial risk was manageable for him, and he was willing to absorb potential losses if things did not work out. For Serge, however, the responsibility felt enormous, not because of the money, but because of what the investment represented. His father’s trust became both his motivation and his pressure. That sense of responsibility shaped every corner of his work ethic. He worked up to 60 hours a week. He remained constantly available on his phone, day and night. He made home visits, handled grooming services, and set his prices deliberately below the local average to attract clients who might not otherwise afford care. He was not building a business empire. He was honoring a debt that had nothing to do with money. The clinic did not make a profit during its first two years. Serge Deuvletian kept costs low by hiring only one employee for 30 hours a week. He managed all other work himself, filling every gap and covering every role that a larger operation would have distributed across a team. “I thought that if I lasted more than one year, it would already be an achievement,” he recalls. He set the bar low so that simply surviving counted as success. Then he kept going, year after year, until survival quietly became something more. The Amoeba Strategy When asked about his competitive strategy, Serge Deuvletian reaches for a metaphor rather than a framework. He describes himself as an amoeba. He sees the clinics around him, absorbed one by one into large corporate veterinary groups, as the Roman army. He describes himself as the small independent village that refuses to be absorbed, drawing directly from the French comic series Astérix, whose fictional Gallic settlement survives through sheer defiance and the occasional magic potion. His approach was practical rather than strategic in any traditional business sense. He did not try to compete directly with larger clinics for the same clients or the same procedures. Instead, he chose to remain small, set his prices below the market, and work with his competitors rather than against them. He referred complex or high-volume cases their way and accepted, in turn, the cases they did not want, the overflow, the unusual, the ones that required more patience than a corporate operation typically offered. “I worked for both me and my boss,” he explains. Clinique Vétérinaire de Montréal stayed with an independent buying group while nearly every neighboring clinic was acquired by one corporate chain or another. It was a quiet act of resistance, the kind that does not make headlines but keeps the lights on for decades. Serge Deuvletian never hired another veterinarian. He relied on the surrounding network to handle specialist cases and focused entirely on the work he did best. He also built his team on personal qualities rather than formal qualifications. Every staff member had to have owned a pet at some point in their life. He believed that was the minimum entry point for the kind of empathy the job demanded. The clinic would handle the technical training. The humanity had to come first. Lasting Lesson in Veterinary Practice On December 17, 2004, near the end of a difficult year, Serge Deuvletian lost a six-pound Chihuahua during surgery. The dog’s heart stopped after anesthesia was administered, an outcome Serge Deuvletian later learned he had not fully guarded against in the way experience would eventually teach him. His next anesthetic procedure went smoothly, but the earlier loss stayed lodged in him in a way that years could not dissolve. He couldn’t tell the client exactly what happened at that moment. He kept the truth to himself determined he would after he made up for it. He resolved to tell the full truth when the right moment arrived. That moment came years later, after his autism diagnosis. In a letter, he reframed the animal as part of his personal journey, a creature whose life had become quietly intertwined with the hardest chapter of his own. In 2021, the client returned to

Animal Health

Advanced Methodologies: Next-Generation Veterinary Treatment Solutions for Animal Health

The field of animal health care has seen a rapid development like never before due to innovations in technology, scientific research, and medicine which change the approach towards diagnosing and treating diseases by veterinarians. The modern approach in veterinary medicine has moved from treatment of disease to its prevention and personalization of treatments for animals in order to provide them with the best possible results and enhance their quality of life. With the rise in standards for the healthcare of animals, innovations have been the major factor responsible for bringing more efficiency and effectiveness in the delivery of this service. Whether it is about advanced diagnosis methods, regenerative medicine, or use of technology in delivering healthcare, solutions for the treatment of pets are being provided that will be able to cater to the requirements of veterinarians as well as pet owners alike. The future of animal healthcare requires the use of science and technology in order to deliver better care to animals. Smarter Diagnosis Accurate diagnosis forms the cornerstone of veterinary success. The developments such as artificial intelligence, imaging techniques, wearables, and molecular diagnostics help veterinarians diagnose diseases way faster than before. Earlier diagnosis enables treatment to start even before the condition reaches its critical stage, thereby increasing the rate of recovery and minimizing complicated procedures. Veterinary clinics are also embracing diagnostic technologies that give results quickly and more accurately, thus giving clinicians the ability to make well-informed decisions. Such improvements in technology also improve clinical decision-making through provision of better data and real-time information. Through use of digital diagnostic tools, it becomes easier for the veterinarian to assess the condition of the animal with accuracy, thus developing a customized plan to treat the animal. The use of portable ultrasound machines, digital radiography and lab automation has also minimized the time taken to diagnose several ailments, making it possible to administer the necessary medication in quick time. Advanced Therapies Technological advancement in the field of medicine is expanding the number of options available to animals. New treatment methods such as regenerative medicine, minimally invasive surgeries, targeted drug therapies, and precision medicine have brought up new possibilities in treating diseases which were previously thought to be unmanageable. The use of stem cell therapy, PRP, and other innovative orthopedic treatments is making it possible for animals to heal faster with less pain and ensuring good health for the future. These developments prove to be especially useful in treating diseases such as joint diseases, sports injuries, and aging. Combining novel approaches to therapy along with scientifically proven clinical practice will allow veterinarians to achieve the desired result and simultaneously ensure greater safety and efficiency of the treatment process. Personalized programs that consider the specifics of the animal, its breed, age, medical history, and way of life become popular and lead to increased efficiency of treatment and higher quality of life. In addition, minimally invasive surgeries change the practice of veterinary medicine. Laparoscopy and arthroscopy minimize trauma, shorten the recovery period, and decrease the possibility of complications when compared to traditional surgery. The Future Ahead The future of veterinary medicine depends on increased interaction among those developing technology, researchers, veterinarians, and the keepers of the animals. The use of telemedicine, cloud-based health records, predictive analysis, and remote monitoring will improve communication and promote continuity of care outside of the clinic setting. These technologies will guarantee prompt medical care for the animals independent of their geographic location. Digital technology helps promote collaboration among various veterinary clinics, diagnostic centers, universities, and research institutions through secure sharing of information and medical images. This sharing of information makes it possible for research to be conducted faster and more effective treatment procedures to be formulated. With the rise of data-driven approaches to veterinary medicine, doctors will have access to greater amounts of data and information that will aid their decision-making process. Conclusion As the field of animal health is changing rapidly, the success of animal health treatments will be defined by our ability to combine innovation and empathy in clinical practice. Due to constant improvement of technology and treatment techniques, veterinarians can provide better diagnostics, therapy and prevention for their patients, which allows increasing the quality of their lives and even prolonging their life expectancy. The continuous development and innovations of the field will allow addressing future challenges and meeting new requirements. Not only are next generation treatments an advance in technology but they are a pledge towards better health for animals through constant research and collaboration. Using innovations while considering the welfare of the animal is possible, and with that the future of the world’s animals can be made much better. With the continued development of science and technology alongside each other, the future of veterinary medicine looks very promising indeed. Read Also : Delivering Memorable Guest Experience

Saurabh Mishra

How Saurabh Mishra Is Bringing 25 years of Global Hospitality Excellence to Atlantis Paradise Island

The Bahamas does not need to be sold to most travelers. The images are already there, the turquoise water, the white sand, the unhurried pace of island life that people spend months of a northern winter dreaming about. What Atlantis Paradise Island has always understood, and what draws guests back across generations, is that a destination of that caliber demands something more than beautiful scenery. It demands people who genuinely care, who show up with purpose rather than obligation, and who understand that the difference between a good stay and an unforgettable one is almost never the physical product. It is the human being standing behind it. Saurabh Mishra, Senior Vice President leading the Cove and Reef operations at Atlantis, joined the property in January 2026 with three decades of experience building exactly that kind of human culture across some of the world’s most demanding luxury environments. He arrived not as someone coming to oversee a successful operation but as someone with a clear sense of what the next chapter could look like. The Cove and Reef represent a distinct world within the larger Atlantis destination. The Cove is an all-suite environment with 600 suites. The Reef offers approximately 500 residential-style units, housing multiple celebrity-chef dining experiences. Across the Atlantis campus, the partner Mandara Spa is undergoing significant renewal and remains open to all Atlantis guests. The resort caters to a diverse guest profile, ranging from first-time visitors to multi-generational families who have been returning for decade The Cove is currently in active transformation, and Saurabh has arrived precisely at the moment when the foundations of the next era are being laid. A Career Built Across Continents Before the Bahamas, there was Macau. And before Macau, Hong Kong, China, India, and the Middle East. Saurabh’s career in luxury hospitality has never stayed in one place long enough to become comfortable in the limiting sense of that word. Each move was deliberate; each environment chosen for what it would demand and what it would teach. His time with Hyatt took him from the Middle East through the opening of Park Hyatt in India, then to China for another significant opening, and eventually into a regional leadership role as the Regional Leader for Hyatt across Asia Pacific. That arc alone would represent a complete career for most hospitality professionals. For Saurabh Mishra, it was preparation for what came next. He joined Four Seasons Hong Kong, which he describes with genuine reverence as an institution in itself. Situated in the IFC, carrying multiple Michelin stars, operating at what he calls “Four Seasons on a steroid” standards, it represented a different quality of pressure and a different quality of expectation. After Hong Kong came seven years in an integrated resort environment in Macau, driving large teams, building cultures of excellence, and operating at a scale and complexity that few hospitality professionals ever encounter. Each of those environments deposited something permanent in how he thinks about leadership, about guests, and about what a resort experience is genuinely capable of delivering when the people behind it are fully committed to the work. He reflects, “It’s all about understanding the sentiment of our people, understanding what works, what doesn’t work, and really bringing people together. That’s how we drive experiences.” The Culture That Makes Everything Else Possible One of the clearest themes in how Saurabh Mishra approaches his leadership at Atlantis is the conviction that a guest experience is only ever as good as the culture that produces it. Technology can enhance a stay. A beautiful property can create a first impression. But the quality of the human connection between the people who work at a resort and the guests they serve is the thing that determines whether someone leaves with a story they tell for years, or a stay they have largely forgotten by the time the plane lands. At Atlantis, many colleagues have been with the property for a long time. That longevity is a genuine asset, representing deep institutional knowledge, strong relationships with returning guests, and loyalty to the property that is genuinely rare in an industry defined by high turnover. His role, as he sees it, is to give his teams a reference point for what world-class looks like in a global context, to inspire them to climb toward that standard together, and to create an environment where that aspiration feels even more exciting. The Team Members at Atlantis are not being asked to abandon what they have built. They are being invited to take it further. He says, “People aren’t just coming here for sunshine and beaches. They come for much more than that. They come for really getting a feel of the place where we show them we are a true host.” The culture he is building rests on a simple but demanding principle: team members should come to work not because they have to but because they love to. That distinction sounds like a motivational phrase until you spend time in a resort where it is genuinely true, and then the difference is impossible to miss. Guests feel it immediately, in every interaction, in the quality of attention they receive, in the sense that the person serving them is genuinely present and genuinely glad to be there. The Future of the Guest Experience When Saurabh Mishra talks about the trends shaping the future of luxury hospitality, he does not lead technology. He leads with something more fundamental: the emotional connection between a guest and a place will not change, no matter how sophisticated the tools available to the industry become. People are coming for authentic, genuine experiences. That is the constant against which everything else should be evaluated. Within that constant, he identifies several specific shifts that will define the next decade. The first is the importance of immersive pre-arrival engagement. The decision to travel to Atlantis is increasingly being shaped by the digital experience guests have before they ever book a flight. How the resort world is presented

Hotel Leadership The hospitality sector is still transforming because of changes brought about by the demands of the customers, the improvements in technology, and competition in the international market. Excellent customer service calls for much more than just top-notch facilities and beautiful locations. It calls for effective Hotel Leadership in ensuring efficient operations, motivating high-performing employees, and providing quality services. On the other hand, efficient Resort Operations will involve all departments operating together to offer excellent experience to customers through efficient operations. Companies that are able to integrate great leadership and efficient operations are set for success. Building Operational Excellence Well-performing resorts need well-coordinated processes which guarantee that guests are served excellently during the entire period they spend in the resort. Front office management, housekeeping, food and beverages, recreation, and maintenance departments play an important role in determining the performance of the resort. Effective Hotel Leadership sets up specific objectives and facilitates teamwork. Efficient Resort Operations help to serve guests consistently, utilize resources effectively, and reduce operational problems.

Health Experts Stress Early Detection and Lifestyle Changes to Combat Rising Burden of Chronic Kidney Disease

Medical experts are calling for greater public awareness of chronic kidney disease (CKD), warning that the condition often progresses silently and remains undiagnosed until significant kidney damage has occurred. As the prevalence of diabetes, hypertension and obesity continues to rise, Dr. Ch. Sashidhar and Dr. Nabeela Fatima emphasize that early detection, routine screening and preventive lifestyle measures are critical to reducing the long-term impact of kidney disease. Chronic Kidney Disease is a progressive condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to remove waste products and excess fluids from the bloodstream. Left untreated, CKD can lead to kidney failure, cardiovascular complications and other serious health conditions, placing a substantial burden on both patients and healthcare systems. Growing Need for Public Awareness Healthcare professionals note that CKD has become one of the leading chronic diseases worldwide, yet awareness of the condition remains relatively low compared to other non-communicable diseases. Because the disease often develops without noticeable symptoms during its early stages, many individuals are diagnosed only after kidney function has declined significantly. Dr. Ch. Sashidhar and Dr. Nabeela Fatima note that increasing public awareness can encourage timely screening among high-risk populations, allowing earlier intervention and significantly improving long-term health outcomes. Who Is Most at Risk? Doctors advise that certain groups are at a significantly higher risk of developing Chronic Kidney Disease and should undergo regular health assessments. Individuals living with diabetes or high blood pressure are among the most vulnerable, as both conditions can progressively damage the kidneys over time. People with cardiovascular disease, obesity, a family history of kidney disease, or those aged over 60 years also face an increased risk. In addition, long-term tobacco use and prolonged consumption of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) without medical supervision may contribute to declining kidney function. Recognising the Warning Signs One of the greatest challenges associated with CKD is the absence of symptoms during its early stages. As kidney function deteriorates, patients may experience swelling in the feet, ankles or face, persistent fatigue, reduced appetite, nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps, itching, and uncontrolled high blood pressure. Changes in urinary habits—including altered urine colour, reduced or increased frequency, foamy urine caused by excess protein, or the presence of blood in the urine, may also indicate underlying kidney disease and should be evaluated promptly by a healthcare professional. Prevention Through Healthy Lifestyle Choices Medical professionals emphasize that many cases of chronic kidney disease can be delayed or prevented through proactive health management. Maintaining healthy blood sugar levels and controlling blood pressure remain among the most effective strategies for protecting kidney function. Experts also recommend following a balanced diet with reduced salt intake, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy body weight, staying adequately hydrated unless otherwise advised by a physician, avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, and using pain medications only under appropriate medical guidance. According to Dr. Ch. Sashidhar and Dr. Nabeela Fatima, these preventive measures not only safeguard kidney health but also help lower the risk of several other chronic diseases that commonly coexist with CKD. Importance of Regular Screening Routine screening plays a vital role in identifying kidney disease before irreversible damage occurs. Healthcare professionals recommend that individuals at increased risk undergo regular blood pressure monitoring, blood glucose testing, including HbA1c where appropriate serum creatinine testing with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) or urine protein testing. Early diagnosis enables healthcare providers to initiate appropriate treatment, slow disease progression and reduce the likelihood of kidney failure and associated cardiovascular complications. A Public Health Priority Commenting on the importance of awareness, Dr. Ch. Sashidhar and Dr. Nabeela Fatima said that healthy kidneys are fundamental to overall well-being and quality of life. Since Chronic Kidney Disease frequently progresses without noticeable symptoms, they emphasized that regular health check-ups should become a routine part of preventive healthcare, particularly for individuals living with diabetes, hypertension and other recognized risk factors. They further highlighted that timely diagnosis, sustained lifestyle modifications and appropriate medical management can significantly preserve kidney function, improve quality of life and reduce the need for advanced treatments such as dialysis or kidney transplantation. By promoting awareness, encouraging routine screening and supporting healthier lifestyles, healthcare professionals believe the burden of chronic kidney disease can be substantially reduced while improving outcomes for millions of individuals at risk.
