Many thanks to Dr. Javsicas, Dr. Rosenbaum, and the entire staff at Rhinebeck Equine for taking such amazing care of my boy, Cruise Control (CC) this past weekend (both on the farm and while he was hospitalized. for treatment of gastric ulcers). Everyone was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I am grateful for your prompt service on a holiday weekend and for helping me, a neurotic, nervous horse mom, rein it in (pun intended). Additionally, I appreciate the compassion you demonstrated towards CC. I highly recommend your ambulatory service and hospital services as well. Thanks again for everything!

We are not from the area, but had Rhinebeck complete a PPE on an OTTB filly. We were not present at the exam due to travel, but all the staff were VERY helpful and informative. The vet did a great job of giving us the full picture of what he found, even when we were not there. Additionally, the office staff were prompt and responsive when booking the appointment and handling paperwork. They made everything very easy - worth every penny. We would 100% use this company in the future if we are in the area!

We had our vehicle parked in the parking lot and we opened the door. The door did not even touch the car next to ours. An employee of this business, Jennifer Getty Friedly, came out yelling and blaming us for a pre existing damage to her vehicle. She demanded to get paid for the damage at the stop. Very dishonest! Stay away from this place!

Excellent and helpful staff, great with payment plans. We give them a lot of business and they have been great with everything from yearly vaccinations and travel docs to emergency surgery and euthanization.

My horse had to come in for an emergency surgery on his eye. The staff was so kind and gave my horse the best care and treatment. The surgery went great and I couldn't be happier with the result. Thank you Rhinebeck Equine for taking amazing care of my boy!
