After completion of his internship, he began his veterinary career in Salado, TX in an exclusively equine practice performing lameness evaluations, dentistry, and soft-tissue and minor orthopedic surgeries both in-house and on an ambulatory basis. A family decision was made to move to Weatherford, TX in 2004. The next chapter in his career began at Equine Sports Medicine and Surgery working alongside an elite group of veterinarians at its world-class referral hospital and on racetracks across the country. He enjoyed treating and working with some of the finest Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racehorses from 2004-2013. In 2009, Dr. Hutchins became certified as a Diplomate by the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP) specializing in Equine Practice. In addition, two case reports, references, descriptions of practice procedures, and professional education records must be submitted and pass review. Dr. Hutchins completed his required maintenance of certification in the Spring of 2019.

Dr. Hutchins’ primary focus is on the diagnosis and treatment of performance issues, primarily respiratory and lameness, associated with all breeds and disciplines of performance horses. He also has special interest in podiatry and dentistry. (Source)
