My horses have been extremely well cared for by the vets at Peterson and Smith. Every ambulatory vet is caring and professional for routine and emergency calls, and the hospital and surgical vets and staff are first rate. The office staff is always friendly and helpful both in person and on the phone. I highly recommend them.read more

My mare had a traumatic injury and was transported to Peterson and Smith on a Saturday morning. When I arrived to the facility everyone was extremely helpful and very sympathetic towards our situation. She had punctured her left front fetlock and needed immediate surgery. The diagnosis was not very good. However, Dr. Lynch and staff took fabulous care of her and communicated with me everyday during her 10 day stay at the facility. My questions were always answered promptly by the care team. Dr. Meeks has been taking care of her since she left the facility and always makes time to help us. I will forever be grateful for Dr. Lynch and Dr. Meeks. Their knowledge is invaluable. I highly recommend either one of these two vets at this facility. It is now almost two months later and my mare is doing phenomenal! Thank you Dr. Lynch and Dr. Meeks for helping our mare through this traumatic time.read more

I was visiting from Colorado to purchase a horse and needed a PPE over the Christmas weekend. The office was nice and friendly assisting with scheduling and answering my questions about services and cost. The whole visit was last minute, and could've been a disaster to schedule, but they made it easy. Dr Cayot offered to come out on the Sunday of Christmas weekend to complete the PPE. He was excellent. He took his time and was very thorough. He was prepared with all the extras he needed in case extra tests were ordered. He took clear x-rays and gave great advice. I would highly recommend.read more

I would like to thank Samantha Carter for coming out and taking care of my horse Ticket. She came out and took action right away. She made sure that we knew exactly what to do for him to keep him going through the night. She came out multiple times that weekend to make sure that he was okay. He is hear with us today because of Samantha. I hope she stays with Peterson and Smith for a long time. She has a great future ahead of her. Thank you Samantha for saving our boy Ticket.read more

Did a pre-purchase exam on a couple horses from out of state. Both vets I worked with not only were very knowledgeable. Complete trust and faith in their knowledge, education, exam and x-rays. They were so easy to work with to get everything done as far as paperwork and communication. Highly recommend this clinic.read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PEOPLE!!!! I phoned 2 years ago to cancel my contract for semen storage as the horse was sold many years ago, there were only doses left, and I wanted them destroyed. "No problem" they say. These fraudsters charged me for another year on my credit card WITHOUT PERMISSION. I called, after noticing the ILLEGAL charges on my credit card, and they said "No problem, we will fix it". Today they call to say my credit card is expired - only because it is expired! They say "PROVE IT" that you phoned. I WARN EVERYONE - RECORD YOUR PHONE CALLS WITH THESE LYINGS SOB'S!!! I'll be reporting this fraud to my credit card, and on every possible review site. I wouldn't deal with these people if they were the last vets on the planet.read more

My mare was sent back to me appropriately two hundred pounds lighter with hair loss on her face and a swollen eye. I was never contacted about these issues, and when I contacted Peterson and Smith they would not respond to my emails and refuse to shed light on the situation. They later sent a $500 bill for the last two weeks of board, and still will not address my issues. I have tried for four months to get an answer from them and was told I would be contacted by the CFO. I received another letter postmarked the 23rd of December from the billing department that the amount billed is now being sent to collections should I not pay. This is after not being called, emailed, or mailed anything from the CFO. This has been a horrible experience and I hope no horse owner has to go through what I have.read more

Been in the business for 17 years. I have never talk to a vet this rude in my life. Had a mini colicing and talk to the receptionist and told them the area. They said nothing along the line of it being out of the area. The vet called and she was EXTREMELY rude. I asked if she new if anyone in the area she hung up on me. Like I was a bother. All you had to say was I don’t. If helping someone annoys you.....hunny you need a different job.read more
