While many equine health conditions can be effectively managed by a primary care veterinarian, some cases require specialized diagnostic procedures, advanced medical knowledge, and experience with complex medical conditions. 

​

As an internal medicine specialist, Dr. Smith works to identify the underlying cause of challenging or persistent health problems, particularly when signs are subtle, recurring, or difficult to diagnose. By applying a systematic diagnostic approach and collaborating with the horse’s caregivers and primary care veterinarian, Dr. Smith provides clear answers and targeted treatment strategies that support both equine health and performance.
