We pride ourselves on providing the best dental care and have earned an excellent reputation with both our clients and referring veterinarians. We see routine and referral cases at farms and hospitals throughout New England, primarily in MA, NH, southern ME, and RI, in addition to seeing cases at our new clinic. The practice owner is a diplomate of AVDC, and provides a complete menu of advanced dentistry services to horses in the greater New England area.
