When horse trainer and riding instructor Lori Uretta was at a horse show in Ohio, she had to make one of two choices when Bob, her American saddle horse, got sick. Brian S. Burks, a veterinarian who runs Fox Run Equine Center, Washington Township, is the only veterinarian in Western Pennsylvania who is board certified by the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners as an equine specialist.
Rescuers were summoned to assist the 31-year-old animal, which fell more than 100 feet down a hillside near his Penn Township pasture. It seems to be going well. He's a little sore and stiff, said Edward Campbell, who owns C Horse Farms on Richmond Road.

Dr. Burks helped my 22 year old gelding! He was becoming lame in the hind end and Dr. Burks decided to inject his hocks. I was very happy that he took great care of my old man, and my horse is doing better now! Highly recommend because he took great care of my friends horse too!

Dr. Burks and staff were both professional and kind not only to me but to my horse as well. Dr. Burks was very thorough with his exam and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to discuss a treatment plan and answer all my questions. Glad to have found an equine veterinarian with the experience and knowledge that Dr. Burks has.

Dr. Burks and his staff are very professional. My horse was diagnosed with Lyme and had to stay the week at the facility to receive intravenous medication. I felt very comfortable and had a peace of mind leaving him there! I knew he was in the best hands possible. They are very compassionate, reassuring and will do and or try anything to get to the root of the problem to get the best prognosis possible. I would highly recommend them. Thank you again Dr. Burks and Staff for all that you do!

Dr. Burks at Fox Run Equine is amazing. Very detailed, patient and kind. I've presented him with some difficult cases and he goes above and beyond to try to find the problem. He truly cares about what he does and is dedicated to both the horses and the clients. I would recommend Dr. Burks and his staff to anyone who wants their horse TRULY taken care of.

Critical: Professionalism The vet was very rude when I informed them I was coming to get my horse and take him else where. The vet began screaming over the phone at me.

Zero stars, 3 words. Don't go there. Not enough room to share all of our nightmare, not to mention the expense. Dr was not honest, and was unprofessional as well.. Refused to release our records unless we paid him 200.00. Etc. I hope some day he is treated the same he treated us and our horse.
