Dunbarton Equine joins Fairfield Equine Associates
Dear valued Dunbarton Equine clients,
I have been so grateful to care for our wonderful patients and clients since 2003. With your support over the last 21 years, our business has grown beyond my expectations.
Recently, I was presented with the opportunity to join the group at Fairfield Equine. While I recognize this is a major change for everyone involved with the practice, it also seems like the move will provide the ideal partnership between my desire to continue to fulfill our practice mission to provide quality, compassionate care day and night, and the need for greater balance to ensure our clientele receives the kind of care they have come to expect. Know my highest priority continues to be high quality care provided in a timely way. It is my belief this transition will not only carry these priorities forward but will enhance them.
It is without hesitation that I write to inform you of my decision to join forces with Fairfield Equine as of August 1, 2024.
I have always thrived in a collaborative, team environment and I am excited for the knowledge I will be able to share as well as gain with my new colleagues. This change will also allow for our mission to flourish, with the added benefit of access to more doctors with varying backgrounds, specialties and strengths.
Many of my current team members will be moving over to this new partnership, bringing familiar faces and voices. You can expect to continue to hear Michele Dion’s voice on the phone supporting you part time Tuesday through Saturday along with Clarisse Stradtman and Allison Hamilton on the road. As some of you may know, Dr. Wilford has decided to switch gears to the practice of companion animal medicine. Dr. Lauren Browne has a young family that she is devoted to and Dr. Krista Zahn has chosen to follow other pursuits. I wish them all the very best! Our team is so much like a family and although change is difficult, we will forever cherish the people that we have worked with and supported us along this journey.
Moving forward your invoices and contact will be with Fairfield Equine. If you have a balance prior to August 1st, 2024, you will continue to receive billing from Dunbarton Equine for that portion and any questions regarding that time frame should be directed to info@dunbartonequine.com.
All of your medical records will be merged with the Fairfield Equine system allowing for seamless review of previous history as well as continued care for chronic conditions.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
Contact Fairfield Equine at (203) 270-3600 or email: info@fairfieldequine.com to make an appointment.
