| I heard he was good. Dr Thoni has also highly been recomended to me. Anyone have any thoughts on him? Both my guys are due for injections and my good horse had a bad fall....want to get him checked out thoroughly. |

Yep. Swartz and his associate Dr. Franklin are great vets. They are great people. They are honest. They love their jobs and love horses. VERY FAIR PRICES, In fact, I've had both of them want to run tests or take pics of something and tell me up front that's it's free because they just want to see..
Nelson Lewis is a great vet. I don't know about his brother, but I do know that they are very expensive.
Thoni is great but too busy to focus IMHO. |

| Dr. Thoni is the best! I drive 5 hours one way to see him. He is the most thorough vet I've ever been to, have taken horses there that I've taken to 4 vets without an answer and gotten a correct diagnosis. He's so reasonable with his charges also, it's worth the drive! |
