Equine Ophthalmologist: Dr. Brenden Mangen

When it comes to examining and treating equine ocular disease, there is no substitute for a veterinary ophthalmologist. Until recently, this typically required transporting the horse to a referral facility such as the University of Florida. PHD Veterinary Services is very excited to share the news that there is now a board certified veterinary ophthalmologist available for horses in north central Florida AND that he will come see your horse on the farm. Dr. Brendan Mangan is employed by Affiliated Veterinary Specialist (Affiliated Veterinary Specialist) in Gainesville, Florida. Currently, he is evaluating equine patients on Fridays at veterinary hospitals AND on the farm! Please have your veterinarian contact him with any questions regarding equine patients that would benefit from the expertise of a veterinary ophthalmologist!! PHD veterinary services strongly endorses his specialty services!!
