"Love, Love, Love Dr. Means!! We’ve used her for 10 years as our dentist. She goes above and beyond whether it’s for our mini-donkeys, my opinionated senior chestnut mare, my gelding with the weird dental issues, or just answering nutrition and general health questions. We’re so lucky to have her as a resource in this area. I’m thrilled she has decided to focus on her true passion: equine dental health." Lysa Hodgson Aberdeen, NC
"Elaine Means is fabulous, bringing a high level of competency and expertise to her dental work with horses. Both thorough and thoughtful – Elaine explains what she’s doing, and why she’s doing it in easy to understand terms for her clients. Coupled with a gentle, and patient manner, Elaine is the complete and total package – truly benefiting both horses, and their owners." Anne Mader Chapel Hill, NC |
