July 2002-> Bringing Sports Medicine to You!

To provide referral level lameness and sports performance services in a convenient and informative fashion.

•••

In order to best resolve a lameness or sports performance issue, it is important to know what you are treating. Therefore, reaching a diagnosis is essential.

Once a diagnosis has been made, thorough client education is essential. The more you know about your horse's condition, the more successfully we can manage or correct these problems over time.

Good communication and feedback over time is also important for the long term management of any equine athlete in this competitor/veterinarian relationship.

To provide these specialized services (and not conflict with your regular veterinarian's role in your horse's health care), I will limit the focus of my practice to sports medicine only.

Initially, practice will be limited to equine lameness and performance related medicine & surgery of the sport horse.

As the needs of the Florida horse community are ever changing, so the response of this practice and its services will change.


1. Provide the highest level diagnostic capabilities available to the horse owner today.

2. Take the time necessary to do it right.

3. Quality service is key to success.

4. Practice ethics and morals shall be unquestionable.

1. Keep abreast of all new developments & advancements in medicine & surgery that relate to performance horses.

2. Bring these advances to work for our clients advantage.

3. Apply only the highest standards of quality and service for our clients.

4. Work to increase the expectations of these standards over time.

The future of this venture is unknown. However, several facts stand clear:

1. The highest quality service to my clients is of the utmost importance.

2. Technology continues to change at a breathtaking pace. Keeping abreast of these changes and applying new technologies and research developments to equine medicine is mandatory to keeping the competitive edge you need and the enhanced diagnostics you demand...

3. Having just left a major referral institution after over six years of service and experience, my new practice's services will expand to meet the needs of Florida horses and competitors who visit our state. The future of veterinary medicine relies upon feedback from our clients and a bold plan to meet and exceed your desires!

4. We ARE client driven!
