Foundation Equine Clinic

They deserve 100 stars. It is extremely difficult to get a vet out to my area. Even though I'm outside of the area they serve, Dr. Hinson showed her incredible compassion and love for animals in making the drive all the way out to save my 34 year old horse's life during an impaction colic (in the middle of the night). We would have never been able to stabilize him enough to get him off to NC State for surgery if she hadn't made the sacrifice to come for my horse. It was not looking good and all hope seemed to be lost, but she didn't give up on my old boy. Not only did she try everything she could to get him comfortable enough for the trip and miraculously back up on his feet, she also waited probably an hour or more with us until the horse trailer arrived. I've owned him for 21 years, and

Dr. Kivett & Dr. Poole are both fabulous to work with. My horses love them & I couldn't be happier with Foundation Equine

This vet practice deserves nothing LESS THAN A 10 STAR review. They have always been there when my equines needed ANYTHING at all. So knowledgeable and always armed with the latest technology and tools AND scientific research. If the Army didn’t move me away from the area, I would still use their practice. I miss their team very much. It’s so difficult to find an EXCELLENT vet practice who is not only competent and knowledgeable BUT compassionate about what they do. Dr. Lisa and Kelly were always in sync with one another and everything always went great without any glitches. When I retire, I am contemplating on moving back there JUST because of them. If that doesn’t speak volumes about the practice then I don’t know what does. Choose their practice- you and your animals will be in gre

I've been impressed with Dr Kivett's knowledge, but also her care for a wide range of types of horses. She has a great set up with pretty much every diagnostic tool, and all of them are available in the field. I've also been impressed with her knowledge and passion for dentistry, after many years of vets who didn't care for doing teeth and as such gave me sub-par floats. Her experience with pet hospice and in-home euthanasia gives her an empathetic and gentle experience when it comes time to make end of life decisions

Dr. Kivett was exceptional in my first experience with her. As I moved my horses here from Florida, she agreed to be on call on the Sunday they arrived after shipping for 13 hours with a laminitic horse. Then, she met me first thing on Monday morning and took the time to get to know my horses and took exceptional care of my horse with laminitis. I am very comfortable continuing my care with her and keeping her as my primary vet. I would recommend her to others - she is very knowledgeable and is willing to go that extra mile to take care of her patients.
