    Amy Fox
  • "Recently, I referred an Arabian mare for an endoscopic examination of the upper respiratory tract, in search of a diagnosis, to a chronic and unilateral nosebleed (epistaxis). Since it was the first time I referred a patient to Pacific Crest Equine, based on a colleague’s recommendation, I decided to accompany the mare and the owner. Although it was a 7 hour round trip, it was a very positive experience. Doctor D. Anez and his team were highly professional, knowledgeable, and very attentive to the well-being of the patient. Both, the client and I, were highly impressed by the full process, from setting up the appointment with an effective and courteous receptionist, to competent animal technicians, in cleaned and well equipped facilities, and most of all for all the veterinary care the mare received during the visit. I will not hesitate to refer more of my clients to Pacific Crest Equine."
    Pierre Lessard, DVM
  • "Pacific Crest Equine offers a unique service to the equestrian community of the Central Valley. They offer quality care never ceasing to compromise any animal's well being. I am so grateful to have Pacific Crest Equine working on my horses. Because of the dedication of Dr. Doug Anez and his team, my horses are always ready for competition! Their free farm calls on Monday to the Fresno area has helped keep this care convenient and regular!"

They are so kind and thorough with their job, I am so grateful to have found Pacific Crest. Thank you so much for caring for my Jospeh!"
