I was extremely impressed with Dave's knowledge, professionalism, quiet manner with the horses and promptness. He returned my phone call almost immediately, made an appointment that suited my schedule, and arrived on time.

Because of his demeanor, my three Arabian mares were not nervous or upset. Dave showed me the horses' teeth before and after and explained the issues each of the horses had and what needed to be done. He explained it in a way I could understand. At the end he checked how each of the horses were chewing and made sure they were comfortable.

I have had good and bad experiences with other dentists over the years. I highly recommend Dave and will continue to use him going forward.

We used Dave for the first time this winter and were very satisfied with his work. We were looking for a professionally trained reliable practitioner. We found him in the Horseman's Yankee Peddler and after e-mailing and looking at his web site we took a chance and truly lucked out. He is quiet, calm and competent. He was able to float our 4 Horses with no problems. We had our Vet not be able to complete one last year. They could not get his mouth open wide enough with the speculum and drugs to do his back teeth due to his TMJ. Dave was able to do him with no problem, no sedation and for the first time in almost a decade he is not quidding. We are thrilled with his work and dependability. He came when he said he would (in the middle of a snow storm), a trait that seems to be missing a lot in this world today! If you need a new dentist, he's your man.

“Dave, you truly impressed me with your knowledge of equine tooth care and I clearly remember that you took the time to explain what work was done in a manner in which I, as an owner, could easily understand. Moreover, the skill in which you worked on Valie was evident because from the outset, the fact that he didn't need sedation proved that your easygoing manner and the connection you made with him must have earned his trust and put him at ease and that is a gift to the horse and the horse's owner! You made such an impression on me that I felt as if I had to write this testimonial to let you know that your work caused me to stand up, take notice and hold a clear memory of what transpired! You can be certain that I have and will continue to highly recommend you to anyone that needs an "Equine Dentist".”

"Dave is an absolute pleasure to work with! He has a true passion for the health and comfort of all of the horses he works with. He conducts himself in a very professional manner with myself, the horses and their owners."
Liz Vaughan, Owner/Trainer Legacy Stables

"I was amazed at his level of knowledge and the detailed charts he maintains on all of the horses. He took the time to explain exactly what was going on in each horse's mouth and what he was doing to correct any problems."
Danny Murphy, Owner Hillcrest Farm

"When I got my horse Rocky, a year and a half ago, he was in terrible condition-undernourished and his teeth were terrible. He was having trouble eating and dropping food. A friend recommended Dave to me and the first time he came out to meet Rocky he was very thorough in the exam and took the time to explain things to me.

After his first dental visit with my horse we noticed he was retaining more food as he ate and did not seem to be so agitated. Recently Rocky had his second appointment with Dave and his weight has improved considerably. I think the best part of the experience for Rocky and myself is the time and the care he took to explain what Rocky needed to improve. Thank you!"
Sierra & Rocky

"Dave was an absolute professional. He explained what he was going to do and why he was doing it. He took the time to show me what was wrong with my horses’ mouths before he worked on them and then again after he was done. He was extremely gentle with them, which was a major selling point for me as my horses have not always had positive experiences with dentists in the past. He never rushed them and talked to them the entire time in a calm voice.

When he was done working on them he took the time to make sure they were chewing and grinding comfortably and that they were settled in after having been worked on. Thank you Dave for a job well done and a positive experience for my boys (Harley & O'Reilly)!"
