​Certified Equine Dental Technician
for race horses​

​​​​
It is my sincere desire to help you understand the importance of giving your horse complete
oral check-ups and full-mouth dentistry throughout his/her life. 
A good equine dentist will address all the teeth in your horse's mouth, and will permit you to inspect
 before, and, after dental work is done. 

30 years ago I was involved in a severe accident which left me with bilateral condial  
fractures (TM Joints on both sides); my molar teeth shattered and my occlusion was destroyed. 
 My personal experience and study of human dentistry for the past 3 decades,

especially occlusion related symptoms, has provided me with an excellent knowledge base
for diagnosis and treatment in the Equine. 

I am a graduate of Harvard University and hold a Master's degree.
 I  am a Licensed Shiatsu Massage Therapist. 
 I graduated from the Ohashi Institute
for Shiatsu Education in NYC in 1978 alongside the late Pamela Hannay,
author of the best known work in the field of massage therapy for the Equine:
 "SHIATSU FOR HORSES" 
 I am a graduate of the American School of Equine Dentistry
 where I was under the strict supervision of Dr. Raymond Hyde,
one of the most respected veterinary equine dentists in the
 United States.

I began working with racehorses in Florida in year 2000.
It was the horses' great success following my work 
that drew me to further my studies in Equine Dentistry. 
​
 I hold licenses throughout the Northeast and Southeast at pari-mutuel racing facilities. 

I was the first Equine Dental professional licensed
in Pennsylvania Harness Racing history, 
and I have practiced annually at Pocono Downs Race Course. 

My work is respected by many well known veterinarians, horse trainers and owners, 
and I have a growing practice in all horse breeds. 


One of my recent Equine dental harness record breakers is "Panesthetic."




 My massage therapy harness racing record breakers include 



"Damon Runyon" & "Hopsing."





My goal is to provide the best Equine dental 


and theraputic care availble in the world 


to every horse that is entrusted to my hands.







I would like to thank Wataru Ohashi, the late Pamela Hannay, 


Dr. Raymond Hyde, and all of my teachers for everything 


they have taught me, and for which I, and the horses, are 


forever grateful.





I also extend my gratitude to all of the trainers, owners, and grooms who have supported my work and guided me.
