McCraigie Charlene DVM

We were recommended to this vet by a horse trainer in the Orange Park Acres area, and I have to say, she is above and beyond what I expected.
We called her out initially for an exam and shot update for our Mustang mare. She arrived when she said she would, and spent more time than I have ever seen a vet take in giving a thorough exam, and in petting and establishing a relationship with the horse. You can tell she really, really loves what she does.
What really made me love her, though, was when I found out that a horse of mine that I had been leasing out to a family in northern California was being abused. The morning he arrived home I was beside myself, crying at how skinny he had become. I called her, and poured out the long story. She listened, was so kind and sympathetic, and promised to come out as soon as she could. And she did. She recommended a very conservative but safe régime to get him back to health. We have followed it to the letter and the horse has snapped right back. She has taken all our calls and spent an inordinate amount of time explaining the ins and outs of rehab for a depleted animal – all for free, mind you.
She is one of a kind. I would entrust any animal to her. The only reason I am not giving her five stars is that you probably wouldn’t believe she was perfect – and, I guess, if you are looking for high tech bells and whistles, she is not that. She is an old fashioned kind of vet who believes the most conservative treatments are usually the best if they are coupled with loads of TLC. Dr. Charlie rocks.
