This team-based work flow provides a wonderful resource to treat some of the most troubling diseases in the horse.  As the historic adage states, “no hoof, no horse,” and Dr. Radkin is committed to getting your or your client’s horse feeling its best. Whether your horse is a close member of the family or a valued sport horse with more performances ahead, or both, we would love the opportunity to be a part of their healthcare team.
