Primus Equine Veterinary Surgery, PLLC


Primus Equine Veterinary Surgery was founded by Dr. Catherine Hackett following more than a decade of advanced training in surgery and research at Cornell University. Upon completion of her Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Stem Cell Research, her personal goal was to utilize all components of her experience to make a lasting contribution to the veterinary profession. She decided to develop a new creative model for equine specialty practice that encompassed her clinical and research skills and interests. She recognized the need for cost-effective support to equine practitioners who desired the assistance of an expert to improve the quality of care available to their patients, particularly during the recent challenging economic times.
