“I joined AFA thanks to Teresa DiGiuseppe’s invaluable support. Despite managing 18 clinics, she’s been a constant resource and advocate, helping me navigate challenges. AFA’s resources and meetings have also been crucial for my growth. I urge fellow franchisees to join us to strengthen our collective voice and ensure our investments thrive. Joining AFA has been transformative for me, and I recommend it to every franchisee for their clinics.”
Bethany Robinson
“Since joining AFA during the last few months, I learned so much attending the Best Practice sessions. This has helped me improve our operation and I am very thankful for it. My special thanks to Teresa DiGiuseppe for her leadership for the Best Practice session.”
