Testimonials

  • Dear Christi,

    Thank you for everthing you did for me and Petey. So sorry I didn't thank the lad who came on a holiday weekend to take Petey to his final resting place. All I know he is in a better place. Thank You again for all you do. You really are a loving caring person.

  • Thank you to Dr. Garfinkle and Gary for providing great care for Smokey in an emergency and for your support throughout his "mystery" illness last week. He came home yesterday from San Luis Rey Equine Hospital and is doing great. His owner Ambre McMillan Ying, BFF Danica Taylor and I are all incredibly grateful for your attentive care, concern and expertise.

  • Dear Christi,

    Thank you for the excellent health care you provide for our family’s horses. I can’t tell you the number of times you’ve helped give Jennifer and myself peace of mind during stressful situations. You’ve always been there for both of us.

    Very Appreciatively,
    Francie Hansen

  • Dear Dr. Garfinkel,

    Thank you for spending time giving me pointers on shot giving. I appreciate your time, help and willingness to explain. I have learned so much from your visits and can’t wait to become a vet myself, after the experiences you provide me with. Thank you for all you do for me and my family.

    Sincerely,

    Arianna Dotzler

  • Hello Dr. Garfinkel,

    I just wanted to send you an email letting you know that I was very impressed with how well you and your technicians handled my tough to sedate QH "Skipper" during his castration procedure. All of you were very knowledgeable and so patient with my difficult horse. :) He is doing very well, I attached some pictures of him for you to see. Thank you again and I will be using you and your practice for all of my equine needs in the future.

  • Christi,
    Mark and I just wanted to take a moment to personally thank you for your amazing dilligence and dedication to all the horses at Lucidi Farms during the fires.  You really had a handle on it during the evacuation.  You made solid decisions regarding the horses and you made all the humans feel secure in your leadership.  We have only been in the horse world for 4 years now and we learned alot from your actions during and after the evacuation.

  • Christi:

    I just got back in town and I wanted to fire off an email to you and THANK YOU SO MUCH for coming to the aide of my beloved Cowboy!!!!  I was ill (literally!) with worry when I found out he had colic on Saturday morning.  Making it worse was the fact that I couldn’t rush to his side to be with him myself!  I was so relieved to know that you would be doctoring him.
  • Christi,

    Thank you so much for taking care of Joe and I last week.

    It was so hard to make that decision, but having your expertise, compassion, and support. I know it was what I needed to do.

    I couldn't ask for a better vet to trust my horses life with.

    Thank You Again,

    Corrine
