Extreme Veteran Posts: 421 Location: Texas!!	Who all have you tried so far? I do like Honnas, and Brazos Valley in Navasota, even went to Marty Tanner in Elgin. I really liked them all....BUT I seem to always go back to Dr Hall in Dayton. We call him our witch dr! LOL! He is not afraid to think outside the box and will try different things to get your horse sound. Never tried Fitzgerald, but I have heard good things about him.

I've been to Dr. Hall, but not with horse. I would have to take a whole day off for Dr. Hall. It's about a 2 hour drive from here.

You get what you give Posts: 13030 Location: Texas	Dr. Danny Dutton of ESMS Houston Field Medicine. He's found all my weird stuff for me. I love brazos valley for sure but Dr. Dutton has always been good to me. He's 100% ambulatory. He's not the cheapest vet out there but he's good. I've heard great things about Fitzgerald too, in fact he and Dr. Dutton are friends.

Veteran Posts: 235 Location: Huntsville, TX	Dr hall is my go to for everything. I have used him for 12 years at least (possibly longer) If I had to go elsewhere I'd go to thoni in Kilgore. He did the vet check on 3 for me in one day which narrowed down my decision. He was honest and thorough. I haven't used the others so I couldn't give an honest opinion about them, all would be hearsay.
