I am a trainer at a farm in Estero and I am very grateful for Dr. Carla's expertise and treatment offerings for our horses! Two of our horses this year were diagnosed with Kissing Spines. We were very disheartened and worried about treatment options as so many horses with KS end up retiring or going through intensive surgeries. Dr. Carla is SO knowledgeable in this area and recommended a combination of acupuncture, osphos, and shockwave. After just three treatments our horses have TRANSFORMED, their back soreness has gone down significantly, their bodies have physically transformed, and they are happy and excited to work. The fact that we can see this change in such a short period of time and without using any anti-inflammatory drugs or even steroid injections is huge. I highly recommend Dr. Carla if you are looking for a more natural, but effective, approach to help your horse from the inside out!
I have used Sunny Coast Veterinary since 2012. Dr Carla is a brilliant veterinarian. She's incredibly intuitive and educated. I feel her approach is always from a place of true experience and in the best interest of the horse. Her knowledge of commonly misdiagnosed disease is incredible. She is highly skilled in disease and lameness and truly loves her job. I recommend Dr Carla to all my clients.
The best equine vet ever! Carla has always been there when needed, and saved our horse's life. She and her staff have always been reliable, knowledgeable and all around amazing! i would not go anywhere else for my horses care even for routine and annual vaccinations, I am confident in the quality of her work and her supplies. She stays up-to-date on new technologies, merging them with current and classic approaches to get the best for each animal treated. she is simply the best.
Dr Carla and Dr Kayla are some of the Greatest doctors to work with my horses. Sunny coast veterinary has been working on my horse duke for over 10 years now. Unfortunately, This morning was a very sad morning after deciding to do one last good thing for my horse, duke. Dr Kayla came out and took me threw the process step by step. What I loved about her was that she was very personable and professional which made me stay strong and not cry during the euthanasia, which was what I wanted. I was able to give him kisses, and lots of love as he was going down and he went out perfectly and peacefully. Horse euthanasias are tough but I couldn't have played it out anymore perfectly in my head. Thanks to all the great people that practice medicine at this practice. I highly recommend!
I called them on regular line, and had to call again to write down ER phone number. My horse passed away overnight. I texted vet to get phone number of a service that could pick up horse. I was scrolling through google trying to find another vet, found one, not listed as Sunny Coast but a vet name, called it, not realizing it was her. I then received a nasty, nasty and rude text from Dr Carla because I called her 3 times!!! In my state of mind I did not realize it was the same number. Granted it was a Sunday but an honest mistake and I didn’t mean to call her that many times. Then she made a joke about a dying horse. Totally unprofessional. Unsympathetic. Didn’t expect a professional veterinarian to talk to ANYONE like that. I was already emotional but she was downright mean. Would NEVER, EVER recommend her to anyone.
I'm so happy I found Sunny Coast Vet. Carla and her team are awesome. Carla goes above and beyond / my animals - I can tell she really cares about their well-being... and that means a LOT to me :). She's made herself available to me when I've had questions and texts me back quickly, which is great so I don't have to worry!! I'd recommend this practice to anyone.
