Reviews
"I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Lugo and the staff at OEH for the recent care and surgical procedure my horse, Cookie Monster received this past weekend. I was overwhelmed by the kindness, compassion and especially the patience and time that Dr. Lugo spent with me and my husband as my heart horse underwent a stifle procedure for a torn meniscus which turned out to be worse than originally thought. He was in touch with us throughout the weekend during evening hours (unbelievable) and great appreciate his help and concern when Cookie was having issues during post recovery. The Ohio State University would be very proud of their Dr. Lugo!! Special thanks to Dr. Kissler who was on top and fully present recognizing Cookie's distress Friday evening after his surgery and being very pro-active about it as she truly may have saved Cookie's life. Also I want to recognize Travis, the anesthesiologist, who was on top of his game keeping my boy comfortable. Also thank you to Jesse who was there the whole time supporting the team effort. I know I have left out at least 4 others who were on the surgical team and I thank you. God bless you for your help with our four-legged family members."
"We had a two year old Half-Arabian gelding with OCD’s in their hock and ankle. Surgery was performed and he is doing great! OEH was very professional from start to finish. The facility is wonderful and so are the staff and Veterinarians."
"Careful, expert & thorough. Every time. A well-run & trusted source of care for your horse."
"Today we euthanized our family horse. The compassion and professionalism exhibited by the staff was above and beyond all of my expectations. Thank you so much to the team that helped us through this really difficult journey."
"Dr. Madison and Dr. Lugo are top notch. The staff is always professional and friendly. I wouldn't take my horses anywhere else for hospital care."
