The following year we were proud to keep her on as an emergency veterinarian and now as a full time associate. Dr. Mary has a hard time selecting one area of equine practice to call her favorite, as she enjoys all aspects such as lameness, reproduction, and preventative medicine. During her rare time away from the clinic, Dr Mary spends time with her husband, Chris, their 3 dogs, and her horse. She is an avid reader and also enjoys outdoor activities such as shooting sports and triathlons.
