Darla Kaye Moser, DVM

Dr. Darla K. Moser grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada. She grew up barrel racing and rodeoing throughout Nevada and Southern Utah. In 2002, Dr. Moser started working at Desert Pines Equine Center as an assistant and became a licensed technician. Thereafter, she obtained her Bachelor’s of Animal Science in 2007 and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2012 from Colorado State University. During her collegiate career she worked as an equine emergency technician for CSU, an orthopedic research center surgery technician at CSU and a bovine artificial insemination technician for Schleining Genetics, LLC during the school year. During holiday breaks, she made time to come home and work at Desert Pines Equine Center. After graduation, she completed an equine internship with strong surgical focus at Chaparral Veterinary Medical Center in Cave Creek, AZ. Dr. Moser then completed a large animal surgical residency at Oklahoma State University with an equine focus. Her residency research focused on regional limb perfusions and how to better treat distal limb sepsis in our equine patients. In all of her “spare time” she enjoys spending time with her friends and family- both the 2 and 4-legged kind, riding horses and kickboxing. Her interests are in equine soft tissue surgery, equine critical care, and lameness. (Source)
