Dr. Hennessey and assistant Cory are outstanding. Very professional and responsive, even on weekends, and kind with my horses. She encourages questions, and I can send pictures with my emails to show her what the concerns are. And she's always been either timely to appointments OR calls to tell me there's a delay. I've had a lot of equine vets over the years, and Dr. Hennessey is one of the very best.

I love Dr. Katie and Cori. They're a great team and have helped our horses at Grune Heidi Farm Rescue. They saved one of our fillies a couple years ago and never gave up on her. I couldn't be happier they are a wonderful vet and I'd highly recommend them to anyone.

Dr Hennessy is excellent vet. She knows exactly what she's doing and is able to communicate her knowledge to owners to better help horses. Her prices are excellent and you can tell she takes great pride in her work. I called her for an appointment and she called me back that night despite having already closed. She's taken great care of my own horses, as well as the horses at the barn I work at.

Katie and Cori are absolutely amazing. I have worked with them for many years from when I arrived to Florida in 2012 through the birth of my foal, who is now 6 years old, and continue to use Polk Equine as my exclusive horse vet. I have never gone elsewhere. Katie is extremely knowledgeable and both she and Cori are wonderful with my horses. On several occasions I have reached out to Katie and she has assisted me without even having to make a farm call. Prices are fair and care is beyond excellent. If they treated dogs and cats, I would have no other vet. This is as close to having your best friend taking care of your horses without your best friend taking care of your horses as you can get!

Dr. Katie and Cori are the absolute best. My old vet no longer services the area where I live and recommend Polk Equine. I called them that day and Dr. Katie said they could be out the next day. The professionalism and knowledge she has is amazing. Not only did she explain in detail to myself but also my mother what was going on with my horse Tucker. I would recommend Polk Equine to everyone who has farm animals. They both really care about animals and that's the kind of vet you want. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Dr. Hennessy and Cori are fabulous. I have always felt supported and confident with this team taking care of my two boys. I have had emergencies with both of my horses and they have always given them fast and thorough care. They care about my horse's wellbeing as much as I do. I've had horses for 20 years and this team has been caring for my horses for more than 6 or 7 years now and I've never been disappointed in their care.

Dr. Hennessy had to come out late at night when my horse was mauled by a pack of dogs. She was very caring and very sympathetic. We decided Angel was suffering, so we concluded that the best course of action, as hard as it was to do, was to put her down. She soothed Angel, gave her pain meds, a tranquilizer, and then put her to sleep. She then asked if I wanted some tale hair and mane hair and proceeded to take care of it. Her fees were very fair and I couldn't have asked for a nicer Veterinarian. I highly recommend her.

We absolutely LOVE Dr. Katie and Corey. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a large animal vet. Coming from a "high maintenance" small farm owner, they have always been very responsive and knowledgeable as well as caring. They hung with me when I lost my gelding, I was very touched with how they followed up with me after the loss and how thoughtful they were. We consider them as part of our extended family here.

We have used Polk Equine for about 2 years. Dr Hennesey came to treat a sick horse for us when our own vet was not able to get to us. She had never met us or any of our horses; yet she came. We fell in love with Dr Hennesey and her assistant, Cori!! They were so professional, so thorough, and so competent with that sick horse and every problem that has arisen since! They have come asap with every foaling we have had. They have provided full care to our horses-annual vaccines and exams, foal care, teeth floating-Dr. Hennesey calls us within a day of two to check how things are doing. Always returns our calls and texts in a timely manner-We just can't say enough good words! We consider ourselves very blessed to have Dr Hennesey and Cori!

Wonderful staff. Dr. Hennessey was suggested to me by a well known and respected small animal veterinarian. I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation towards Polk Equine. I recently moved my older gelding to FL, and without hesitation she took on a new client, expressed an understanding and concern as if he belonged to her. Truly a good heart.

Dr Katie Hennessy is amazing. She has been our vet for 3 years and we couldn't be happier with her and her assistant Corey.
Sept of Last year my 10 year old gelging became entangled in a barbed wire fence.
We found him that way after we were away from home for several hours. Dr Katie came as soon as I called her. It was on Saturday and she didn't hesitate. The wounds on my horse were gruesome and I absolutely credit Dr Katie and the good Lord for saving his life.
Dr. Katie surtured the gaping wound all the way around his entire leg from about 6" below the stifle. Today, Keanu has a scar and not at all what you would expect and he his sound! We know we were very lucky, but we believe a large part of that luck was that we had Dr Katie to care for our boy. Thank you Dr Katie!
