Cave Creek Equine Surgical Center is owned and operated by Dr.
Ross Rich. It is a one veterinarian practice that focuses on providing
high quality sports medicine, diagnostics and surgery.
Cave Creek Equine Surgical Center (CCESC) is a state-of-the-art referral equine hospital that opened in 2002 under the ownership and direction of Dr. F. Ross Rich, DVM, PA-C. The hospital is located on five acres just north of the Carefree Highway in Phoenix, Arizona. The facility offers medical and surgical services geared towards diagnosis and treatment of sports-related problems in the elite equine athlete, as well as the future equine athlete (the young horse). Orthopedic and respiratory issues continue to be CCESC's primary interest and focus; however, we also deal with other soft tissue and ophthalmic problems in the equine athlete. CCESC strives to keep the veterinarians, technicians, and office staff updated in the most innovative care of the horse from the beloved pet to international competition horse.
Northern Arizona Equine is currently being operated as a satellite
clinic of Cave Creek Equine Surgical Center. We will offer weekly
service in the summer and fall with more restricted services
in the winter and spring. Appointments will be arranged through
the Phoenix office. Lameness examinations and sports medicine,
prepurchase examinations, advanced diagnostics and some surgeries
will be among the services provided.
