I was so pleased with Dr Liz and her assistant. Professional, caring and focussed on my horses needs. Love that she was able to do a multiple health check up. Chiropractic, dental and annual vet check. Thank you!

Mona was absolutely amazing! She answered all my questions and got me prompt and attentive service right away! Then Dr. Adam called me the next morning to go over my x-rays and was very kind. He explained everything without making me feel stupid for not knowing! Highly recommend this place!

I have been a client at GLEWC for many years and they have helped me through everything from emergencies to basic care to breeding. I wouldn't call anyone else and the vets are absolutely amazing people that really care about the wellbeing of the horse.
