Dr.Leshaw has been our vet for many years. He always makes himself available. He is highly reliable and very professional. He is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to high performance sport horses and has helped us manage our horses at highest levels of the sport. He is also always there to help with our other non performance horses and animals when needed. I highly recommend him and his practice for all your equine related needs!

Dr Leshaw has been my vet for about 5 years now. I’m excited that he has taken over the Creekside practice. He has always been there from taking care of my newborn foal, to keeping my high performance hunter at the top of his game. He has always gone the extra mile when there’s been an emergency. I’m lucky to have found him to care for my horses.

Dr. Matt Leshaw has been my vet for over 5 years and he has always taken the absolute best care of my horses. He is very educated, professional, understanding and helpful. He always listens to my concerns and helps make sure I am providing the best care to my horses. I have several vets over the last 20 years and he is by far the best. Highly recommend!

So sorry Dr Colburn sold to these folks. I have never written a review before but I am compelled to do so now. I have made at least 5 calls to this practice over 10 days and NEVER got one response until today when I was told by one of the staff that I won't get a response and I should look for another vet for my donkeys. I made multiple attempts, asking for a Dr. to simply call me to discuss the situation. Apparently NO BODY there thought I worth calling back or perhaps they don't value donkeys as much as horses. All I can say is Dr Colburn and his associates made it a point to respond when a client called NO MATTER HOW BUSY THEY WERE. New and old clients be aware - you may be waiting a very long time only to be told go elsewhere.

Dr. Bender has been and always will be our go to vet. He is amazing. Dr Leshaw is top of his field. These vets are amazing and you cannot go wrong using them for equine needs. They also support our local community and especially support the youth. Best out there!!!!!
