So my horse came up lame, I talked to the vet through text about what to do etc. long story short I asked if she could come “put eyes on him” after 3 days of no improvement. She said “I’m right down the street I can come on my way back to the office and just look at him for you” I told her I had to work and couldn’t be there then. She said she could come anyway and she’ll call me when she gets there. She wound up doing all these crazy tests, X-rays, blocks, advanced blood work, sonogram etc etc. The bill wound up being $1500!!!!! I NEVER authorized ANY of these tests I was also charged $400 for an “emergency “ visit which I wasn’t told before hand. I literally JUST wanted her to look at him, maybe give some meds and call it a day. (My horse just needed some rest and was completely fine in a week fyi. ) The billing woman Michelle called me every week to get a payment which I was unable to pay considering I had just lost my fiancé to cancer and was trying to find my footing still AND even said to me “you can’t pay this bill and you own a horse” ummm HOW DARE SHE! Not only was she rude over and over but I SHOULD NOT have to pay this bill! At least if she knocked off some money maybe I’d feel better about it but nope! I’ve worked for vets for over 16 years and we would NEVER do ANY tests or anything like that without getting authorization from the owner FIRST! Now they’re sending me to collections! Needless to say IM VERY UNHAPPY and EXTREMELY UPSET! Just be careful

Pine Bush has been caring for my animals for many years. Today was the day every equine owner dreads when I had to make the decision to humanely euthanize my 30 yr old mare who has been in my life for 29 yrs. She is the matriarch of the herd and I wanted to allow the others to be present during her passing allowing them to witness and mourn. Dr. Lucia was understanding and accepting of this and worked efficiently to sedate our Boss mare and allow the heard to be present during her passing. I am so grateful for your understanding and professionalism. THANK YOU!

So thankful to have Pine Bush Equine around for the horses at my farm - the highest level of veterinary care and the most compassionate crew I know - from all the vets in the practice to the assistants and receptionist. Dr Beth Ross and Dr Mike Ross are my number one go to for surgeries, performance/soundness evaluation or a pre-purchase exam - extremely knowledgeable and thorough - and the best eyes I know!
