Found Dr. Garfinkel on a google search when I needed a quick turn around vetting. Their website was one of first that came up and provided me with a snap shot of their services. I hired Dr. Garfinkel to preform the pre-purchase and was pleased with the price and outcome!

I was worried that I would not find another vet as competent as my previous vet (16 years). I can confidently say that Dr. Christi Garfinkel is more than "filling those shoes"! My horses are in great hands! Although I look forward to many years as a client, I hope it is

Hello Dr. Garfinkel,
I just wanted to send you an email letting you know that I was very impressed with how well you and your technicians handled my tough to sedate QH "Skipper" during his castration procedure. All of you were very knowledgeable and so patient with my difficult horse. 🙂

Christi, Mark and I just wanted to take a moment to personally thank you for your amazing dilligence and dedication to all the horses at Lucidi Farms during the fires. You really had a handle on it during the evacuation. You made solid decisions regarding

I just got back in town and I wanted to fire off an email to you and THANK YOU SO MUCH for coming to the aide of my beloved Cowboy!!!! I was ill (literally!) with worry when I found out he had colic on Saturday morning. Making it worse was the fact that I couldn’t rush to his side

To whom this may concern,
