Mary S. Delorey, DVM
Dr. Mary DeLorey graduated from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine in 1992 and has been in equine practice in
Washington ever since. Her practice is devoted exclusively to high quality general and advanced equine dentistry. Northwest Equine Dentistry's
mission is to complement and enhance the care that your horse gets from your regular equine veterinarian.
“During my 8 years in general equine practice, my time and interests focused increasingly on equine dentistry. In 2001, I decided to devote all my professional energies to this one discipline. I acquired more and more specialized training, traveling to work one-on-one with some of the most respected and experienced practitioners in the world to fine tune my skills. Since Northwest Equine Dentistry, Inc. was formed in 2001, I have had the pleasure to meet over 1000 exceptional horses annually and help their owners provide the very best in equine dental care.”
Dr. DeLorey travels nationally and internationally to lecture and instruct other veterinarians in equine dental technique. Her horse owner education articles are published in some of the largest horse interest publications in the country. And she's been a contributor to several equine veterinary text books.
“As a medical professional, it is my responsibility to stay abreast of advances and changes in this very dynamic area of equine medicine. Intensively focused continuing education is an ongoing investment in both time and money that I regard as critical for my professional advancement.”
