Ugh!Awful bedside manner, lousy vet,has killed own horses and other peoples too. I do not care what her past is! If she can not be professional then she needs to find another job!

Ms Holland has always given great service and is always to the point. She takes her work very seriously. Her mannerism is not huggy feely if you want that get a therapist. Her 1st concern is the animal and she does whatever is necessary to treat and diagnose, she saved my horses life and told me what I needed to hear and I took care of it like a big girl, most emergencies are not brought on but anyone other than ourselves, her job is not to comfort us but take care of the animal, so put your big girl panties on.

Always there when you need her. Spends whatever time it takes. Extremely knowledgable and knows her stuff. Reasonable fees.

Use only as a last resort. Called to have an injured horse looked at when she was pulling call for another vet. She could not be bothered to come out as she was getting her own horses ready for the Parade of Stallions. Gave some phone advoce I knew was not right so I ended up called AK Equine at home and getting help from them instead. What Sabrieta wanted us to do for the hose would have made him *worse*. Also has a very poor bed side manner and don't let your dog around her, she doesn't seem to like them.

Have only had great experiences with this vet. VERY good at coming out for emergancies, when other vet's have refused to come out. She is a no nonsense gal and very straight forward - which i love. She has a tender heart that not many see. She will always be my vet!! She's treated everything from my small bird to my 2 horses. In any case please properly prepare you horse or animals for a vet's visit. It is not the Vet's job to "train" your horse to stand still for treatment. Please keep this in mind! I advise anyone to do a "ride along" for a day with any vet and see the challenges they have to overcome just to keep their practice from going bankrupt, it will be a real eye opener!

I am very sad to see such negative feedback on this vet. She has returned all my calls promptly, any time of day or night. She has responded with excellent emergency care. She has always been more than patient in answering my questions and doing extra research to find an answer if she didn't know. She saved our very old pony who was choked, in the very late hours of a weekend night. She's given us lot's of advise and has taken good care of our horses. We also had to face that one of our horses was terminally ill and had to put her down. She was very kind and comforting during this process. We appreciate the services that she provides to our community. You hot head valley folks are gonna drive all the large animal vets away because you think you can do better - so why don't you get your DVM and put your money where your mouth is, instead of complaining?

It's a shame that this vet has such negative comments. She is the only equine vet that is ALWAYS there when you need her. Unlike some "others". She has a practical approach to treatment. I think she is just realistic about people and there horses. She is a single parent and buisness owner doing her best.

Boastful and simply RUDE! Insensitive to people's feelings and is sometimes rough with horses that are in pain. Yells at clients when they ask questions. Doesn't call back when a client has a question about a horse's treatment.

very poor bedside manner, over estimates her own experience, has actually failed to provide care when on call. Only use as a last resort.
