Meet Our Doctors
Dr. Annie Oakes, DVM
Dr. Annie Oakes hails from the hometown of Saratoga Springs, NY and was greatly influenced by its vibrant horse culture and racetrack. She graduated with her DVM degree from the Atlantic Veterinary College in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Starting her career in Bozeman, Montana at Montana Equine, Dr. Oakes has completed extensive post-graduate training in equine referral centers across the country. As a result of practicing in Montana, Indiana, Tennessee, and Lexington, Kentucky she is fortunate to have learned from a variety of people and horses along the way. She is thrilled to be returning to the group, and to now call the Wood River Valley home.
Dr. Oakes is residency trained in Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation, is a Certified Equine Rehabilitation Practitioner (CERP) and Hallmarq Standing MRI certified operator. She takes special interest in performance medicine, imaging, and rehabilitation. She also finds geriatric and general medicine exceptionally rewarding, and enjoys getting to know her patients as they return to health following injury or illness.
In home life, she prefers outdoor hobbies, all the better with family, and when it’s wintertime in the mountains!
