Dr. Sylvia Greenman, D.V.M., Diplomate, American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, Equine

Dr. Sylvia Greenman graduated from the University of California at Davis in 1991 with a Bachelors of Science in Zoology and a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 1995.  She began practicing in Southern California at the Racetrack circuit upon graduation.  In 2001, Dr. Greenman left the racetrack to pursue a practice of lameness in the sport horse around the Los Angeles area. 

In 2005, after an extensive application and examination process, Dr. Greenman became a diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners  in Equine Practice.  She has also obtained her Radiation Safety Officer license and Supervisory User license for radioactive materials and helps to oversee the functioning of the Southern California Equine Foundation, Inc. Nuclear Medicine Facility at Santa Anita Race Track in beautiful Arcadia, California.

Dr. Greenman is also an associate professor at Western University, School of Veterinary Medicine, and a preceptorship site for the students.  You will often see third and fourth year Veterinary students with Dr. Greenman when she sees your horse, so don’t be surprised!  She also serves on the Student Relations Committee of the American Association of Equine Practitioners.

Some of Dr. Greenman’s favorite pastimes include SCUBA diving, underwater photography and traveling.  She and her husband have been to many exotic locales over the years diving and taking pictures.  Ask to see some photos sometime!

 
Jessica Anderson, Office Manager

            Jessica was raised in Southern California and has been riding horses almost all of her life.  She was an exercise rider at the Thoroughbred racetrack and has owned many ex-racehorses.  She even finds homes for retired Thoroughbreds once they leave the track! 

            Jessica joined us in 2004 as a technician, and began working in the office in 2008.  She had worked many years as a small animal technician in Los Angeles and her extensive knowledge of horses and her excellent horsemanship skills has made her a wonderful addition to the team.  She is also a fountain of information when it comes to riding equipment, especially bits, from her work experience at Broken Horn (where many of you may recognize her from!).  Please feel free to ask her any question when you see her helping with your horse.
