Highly recommend! Dr. Best has been treating my mare and she's been fantastic. She's professional, kind, and very responsive to calls and emails. She clearly cares about her patients and I completely trust her judgment when it comes to the health of my girl! Everyone I've interacted with from their practice has been a pleasure to work with. Our area is very lucky to be serviced by such knowledgeable professionals. Thank you for all you do!

Report
Dr. Bentley was great with my horse. He had a serious injury and she was excellent with him. Additionally recently on a cold January 2020 evening Dr. Best was called out to care for my friends horse that was down in the stall. Her calm demeanor and quick assessment of the situation was very much appreciated. Emotions in that barn where running very high and Dr. Best was able to not only calm the horse but calm the people surrounding the horse.
Ultimately to prevent any further suffering the family had to make the decision to put the horse down. Nothing about being a veterinarian of animals is easy. Sometimes I think being a large animal veterinarian would even be harder cuz you're dealing with 900 - 1200 pound animals thrashing and falling and desperately trying hold on or desperately trying to get the family to let them go. Dr. Best's amazing professionalism along with her ability to be compassionate and patient but to know exactly when to step in to be the voice of reason is what makes me believe the Dr. Best is an extraordinary veterinarian and that Niagara county is very fortunate to have her. Thank you Dr. Best for everything.

Dr. Best took on a horrific dental problem that other so called equine dentists said could not be corrected without surgery. After 2 visits our horse is doing so much better. He is gaining weight, his attitude has improved and he is now more energetic. I highly recommend Dr. Best for all your equine needs.
