Gulf Coast Equine Veterinary Services, Inc.

Dr. Whitney is absolutely AMAZING !! She came out when my mini horse had a laceration and was very responsive to calls, texts the communication is fantastic with this Equine Veterinarian! The care she has for the patients is Gold standard. I highly recommend her to see your fur babies! Thank you for such excellent care! ❤️

Whitney was recommended to us when we moved here, we had a horse that was suffering from several life threatening issues and she was quick to respond. Her knowledge and compassion are second to NONE!!! She has spent countless hours with us working on different techniques to make things better. We still have a ways to go but because of Whitney he is still here with us and likely shouldn’t have been. We are so eternally grateful for her professionalism and care she has provided not only to our horse but to us as well.

Dr. Whitney is one of the best sport horse vets in Florida ! My own horse was kicked in the elbow and it was such a difficult place to image. Her digital radiographs were excellent, she ruled out a fracture and saved my horse's life. I have also consulted with her on many chronic pain and sport horse cases and she is a delight to work with. A true professional and we are lucky to have a vet of her caliber in Sarasota.
