     He is a member of our large animal veterinary team. His primary interest is in equine and small animal restorative and prophylactic dentistry and oral surgery.  Dr. Hoelscher has a deep compassion for animals and a keen interest in medicine which led him to become a veterinarian.

     When asked what the best thing about his job was, he responded, "The successes! I feel great satisfaction any time I can help relieve an animal’s discomfort and give them a better quality of life."
