A lot of people think they are less expensive, but they are not. I agree it seems a bit odd, but I guess like any other place, they have an overhead.
I have actually found that the specialists here in the Houston area sometimes charge less than Texas A&M for certain things. I honestly prefer private practices because then I have a choice which vet I am getting. Not all vets are equal and I don't just look at the facility....I look at the individual vet. You don't choose your vet at a school.
