Working together for your horse.
Crystal Mcrae, DVM, CVC
Dr. Crystal McRae provides comprehensive ongoing support that keeps horses performing and training to their full potential in any discipline. She believes in a whole body approach to the health of the equine athlete. Certification in both chiropractic and acupuncture compliments the western medicine approach to lameness and musculoskeletal health.
Dr. Crystal is in the process of pursuing certification with the International Society for Equine Locomotor Pathology (ISELP). The ISELP program is world renowned in education for equine veterinarians in Equine Sports Medicine. Dr. Crystal is a California native who went through veterinary school at UC Davis and landed in the lovely state of Washington for her internship in equine surgery & medicine at our regional equine referral center, Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital in Snohomish.
