Equine Veterinary Associates, Inc.

As a 27+year Professional Recreational Trail Trainer and Equine Care Provider specializing in short and long term Vet-advised treatment and recovery programs with a long standing working relationship with EVA i.e Dr Kirk Pollard and Dr David Tressor. I can say without a shadow of doubt that this group of Equine Vets are the best in Orange County and Beyond! Professional, Knowledgeable, Diligent, with the Highest Degree of Respect to their clients new and/or old. They are all well versed in the newest protocols in the Equine Medical field and in industry trends yet still strong in their personal experience with "tired and true" methods of treating the body and mind of our horses... IMHO EVA does their best to satisfy the routine appointments and daily needs of all their clientele in the most professional manner possible... Prioritizing the unforeseen and accidental injury and/or illnesses we have all faced will always be something any equine vet has to deal with on a daily sometimes hourly basis and I will say that if one of my scheduled appt gets bumped back or asked to reschedule its because these amazing caring vets are scrambling to save a life and I'm glad they're on my team! So Do Not hesitate to call for an appointment if you are new to the area or just looking unto a new team of doctors to back you and your horse's health and happiness! Happy Trails!

If I could mark this higher than 5 stars, I would. I have been a client of Dr. Kirk Pollard and Equine Veterinary Associates for over 25 years. Growing from a single horse owner to a high performance / FEI dressage professional, Dr. Pollard and his staff have placed the bar extremely high for veterinary care. From the simplest of routine care, to the most difficult and challenging diagnosis, to the inevitable middle of the weekend night colic call, Dr. Pollard and his entire EVA staff have only exhibited professionalism and empathetic care. Dr. Pollard, in particular, is a master at diagnosing difficult soundness issues, and offers conservative, effective solutions and treatment plans. I can't recommend Equine Veterinary Associates highly enough! As I prepare to relocate to the east coast, I will be at a loss without Dr. Pollard and Equine Veterinary Associates.

I have been using Dr. Treser and this practice for the past 4+ years. They are great! Prices are reasonable compared to other vets I have found and they always make it a point to explain exactly what they are doing and why. My mare Isabel had a foal in April and they made sure to be there after the first 24 hours to check on the filly Isabel had when I made the call to inform she had foaled. Dr. Treser made sure Isabel was all prepped vaccine wise before the birth and told me what I needed to expect and do since this was the first mare I would be foaling on my own. When my mare Lovely had a colic episode 2 nights ago Dr. Wasmund was at my property (Norco) within 30 mins of my call to their emergency line. Lovely is doing great and eating well on her wheat bran mash for her recovery period. Whenever I have left them a message for non emergencies regarding appointments they have always gotten back to me the next business day either by phone or email. Thank you EVA Drs!

I want to recommend this veterinary practice and the amazing vet Dr. Valera Wasmund in particular she has a great deal of empathy and Knowledge. I called for an emergency as my old Swedish Warm Blood was down in his stall she with the help of some extra muscle had him up in know time. I would not have thought to call this practice as it's base is in Anaheim and I am in Chino Hills and thought mistakenly that they would be extremely expensive I was wrong they are the best and not excessively expensive.

I have owned horses for the past 25 years. We boarded at a stable in Whittier. EVA has always been who I would call if I had a problem. I handled quite a few of the horses for owners who weren’t able to make it for the vet also. I have never been disappointed at the care I received. Dr. Pollard has taught me so much over the years. Always answering any question I had with kindness and respect no matter what my question might have been and I’m sure some of them were pretty silly. But I was never meant to feel that way. A lot of what I have learned from EVA I know now have the confidence to have my horses on my own property. Even though we are no longer in their area, I know that Dr. Pollard is only a phone call away to give me advice on any problem my precious horses get into. I am so grateful to him and the other associates at Equine Veterinary Associates. Thank you to them!
