Dr. Donatelli is an amazing vet who has done pre-purchase examinations for me as well as provided routine and non-routine veterinary services. I trust his judgment and he is just a wonderful, caring professional. I don't know about the other lady's experience which caused her to write a negative review. However, a pre-purchase examination is just an informational tool for the horse buyer to make his/her purchase decision. There are lots of conditions that a pre-purchase examination will not pick up including latent issues and issues that do not affect the horse's performance on the day of the pre-purchase examination.
