Dr. Megan is an ANGEL!!! (Along with her sweet assistant) we had an emergency with our new horse and she came out super fast, ran all the tests, ordered his medicine, leaving no stone unturned.

What an incredible group of veterinarians, technicians, and assistants. Have been using them for the last couple of years for my senior horse who recently passed away. Dr. Bollinger handled the emergency call with grace and kindness.
