Artaurus has been handling my horses for the past two years - Carrie, one of the vets, has done on-site at our stable in Fairfax, and she is a wonderful, well-rounded vet who does both traditional and non-traditional practice (including chiropractic, and newer treatment methods for soundness issues).

At the clinic itself, I have used Robert for x-ray diagnosis of our racehorse's inflammatory issues, and he is incredibly sweet, patient, and knowledgable.

The staff at the clinic are always super sweet, accomodating, and all around great to work with. A very down to earth, trustworthy
