Circle Oak Equine, a specialty veterinary center that focuses on equine sports medicine, lameness, and rehabilitation, has opened a new state-of-the-art surgery and imaging center in Petaluma, California.

The center will serve California, Nevada, and Southern Oregon.

Circle Oak Equine offers a wide variety of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities unique to the area, including an underwater treadmill and cold saltwater spa.

“What we have lacked is surgery and advanced imaging capabilities, so we are thrilled to open our new surgery center, equipped with state of the art technology such as a standing MRI (sMRI),” says Carrie Schlachter, VMD, Circle Oak’s medical director. ‘We can now offer fully integrated services from a swift, accurate diagnosis, whatever treatment is necessary, to a rehabilitation program that is capable of bringing horses back to full function
