Illinois Equine Field Service

Overall, the Field Service is great! Whenever I have a question I am greeted by a helpful and courteous person on the other end of the phone. Dr. Wiseman made it out to my mare very quickly in a recent emergency (that admittedly would have been less urgent if I hadn’t coincidentally been in the hospital for something unrelated to horses) and even called a few days later to make sure that both my horse and I were doing okay. My dealings with him and Dr. Huffman, though brief, have been pleasant. Furthermore, the office staff is very willing to help you work out a payment plan that makes those emergency visits less catastrophic on your wallet.
I feel like I may just be being picky in giving them 4 stars instead of 5, but I’ve dealt primarily with Dr. Siegrist. While he is undoubtedly very qualified, I feel that his manner is very rushed an impersonable. My mare had always been happy to see my old vet who seemed to recall my mare’s health history from memory. For some reason, Dr. Siegrist makes my usually calm, mild-​mannered mare a nervous wreck. Again, I could just be being picky because of the lengthy history my horse has with my old vet. Its entirely possible that my horse and I are both spoiled in that regard. But all in all, nothing bad to say about this practice and would still recommend it to friends.
