Riviera Equine Internal Medicine & Consulting
internal medicine specialist
experience - expertise - integrity
RIVIERA EQUINE INTERNAL MEDICINE & CONSULTING is a niche equine veterinary practice led by Dr. Phoebe Smith, a board-certified specialist in equine internal medicine. We provide specialized internal medicine services for horses in the central coast and southern California regions.
Services
We work with veterinarians seeing complex internal medicine cases, trainers & riders working to maximize athletic performance, and owners requesting a second opinion or specialist evaluation. Equine medicine is a rapidly advancing field and one simply cannot know it all. Specialization allows for in-depth knowledge and expertise in a specific area of medicine.
We believe the best medicine is delivered by a team approach. Professionalism, collegiality, and collaboration are foundations of any successful team and we strive to build this with every consultation.
