Garfinkel Christi DVM

Fabulous ! Had her our for the first time today to meet my pony for shots (who has issues with ppl since he’s been treated poorly) and my float my Appendix’s teeth. She interacted with both of them beautifully, even the pony liked her quite well for a first visit. Friendly good service and my horses were happy :):) Super happy with her work !

Absolutely first rate. My older horse needed some dental work done. Her rates are extremely reasonable ($ 125 for basic teeth float procedure, plus $ 40 for sedation). She used a power float, and the whole thing took about half an hour.
She was on time, and was very careful about proper dosage of sedative, and reviewed after-​care instructions thoroughly. She explained her considerations regarding my horse’s age (he’s 20) and previous medical issues.
She went above and beyond the basic procedure, taking care of some little (but important) issues for no extra charge. .Which is rare for a vet… Most vets like to charge extra for every little thing, and have a pretty cold «bedside manner.»
Would recommend without reservation… Will definitely be using her in the future.

Christi has been taking care of my horses for over 10 years. She is an awesome vet, and a very compassionate person, I trust her with any decision she makes when it comes to the well being of my horses. I really love that she takes the time to explain to me what is going on if one of my horses is sick, or hurt, and what she recommends why. I can’t recommend Dr. Garfinkel enough, I definitely have learned a lot from her, and my boys are very lucky to have her as their Vet.

Christi is by far the greatest equine vet that I have had the pleasure to work with. You can tell that she truly cares for her clients and she doesn’t hesitate to do everything in her power to provide superb care.

Dr. Garfinkel has been our equine vet for years now and she continues to impress me with her knowledge, skill, caring, and great attitude. From diagnosing my horse’s severe heart murmur and giving compassionate, sane advice about his future to performing hock injections and teeth cleaning, she does it all. She takes the time to truly listen to me, she does not rush her examinations, and she has always been right on with her diagnoses. Her husband, Gary, manages the office and helps out on farm calls and he is a doll. What a great team. Not only are they consummate professionals but super nice people, too.

Dr. Garfinkel and her able office assistant bring new meaning to competent and caring equine medicine. I am so grateful for the time they take in explaining exactly what the issues are and providing a detailed and thoughtful recovery plan. I would recommend their services to anyone!
