Dr. Monica has been, by far, the best vet my horse has ever had to pleasure of being seen by. You can tell Dr. Monica truly cares about the horses and puts all her knowledge and efforts into the situation at hand. My horse is is an old lady and Dr. Monica is always working with me to keep her comfortable in her senior phase of life.

I have used Silver Spring veterinary service for about a year now. I couldn't imagine having anyone else work on my horses. Both vets are extremely knowledgeable and you can tell they truly care about the welfare of the horses. The veterinary assistant they have is also top notch, she has a way of calming your horse so the vet can accomplish their tasks efficiently with as little distress to the animal as possible. You can be confident that if you go with Silver Spring you will get great care at a very reasonable cost.

These doctors saved my horses life. She's had two VERY bad incidents of laminitis and I attribute the fact that she's back on the trial exclusively to them. She's now 19 years old and acting like she's nine again. Their follow up is phenomenal too. They always call to follow up on the patient. It's amazing that they can do this consider the many hundreds of clients they serve.
