I have used Dr. Scott Anderson for many, many, years. Dating back to when I worked and lived at Brookhill Farm, in Charlottesville, VA. He has an amazing group of doctors working for him as well. You can tell he truly is a unique veterinarian and passionate about his work, which shows in the staff he picks to work with him. I worked for a couple years at Marion Dupont Scott Equine Medical Center in Leesburg, VA. and did training in their vet tech program. So, I've seen a lot of what goes on in surgery facilities, expecially behind the scenes. Some of the things I heard and saw their very own doctors doing and joking about, made me not want to pursue a career in horse medicine, and go back to teaching and training. I'm happy I had the opportunity to learn all I did...but, I now use that knowledge to keep my horses healthy and well and usually know immediately when any of my guys aren't right. I love my local vets. But, I knew when my Fly Right coliced & didn't come out of it after administering IV banamine, dehydrated, no gut sounds, etc. That I needed more intervention then what my vet here could do. Plus, if he did need surgery, we would already be there. I live in Chesapeake, and Woodside is approximately 2 hours away from our farm. They are the closest surgical facility for me. As soon as I called, I got a response back within 5 minutes from the vet. When we arrived, we were welcomed by a full medical team that did a full workup on my horse while putting me at ease too. They kept him overnight, and made him all better!Read Less
