Gerhard Assmann Fachtierarzt für Pferde

My horse arrived at Dr. Assmann's clinic late one Sunday evening a month ago with colic. This was my first visit to an animal hospital. Dr. Assmann welcomed me very warmly and helped me settle in. He then explained the entire procedure to me and let me be present, which reassured me even more. Like many others have already mentioned, I am impressed by his competence and his manner. I cannot agree with the claims that he is unfair or misanthropic. He speaks clearly, and perhaps not always pleasantly, using words that can hit an owner like a ton of bricks in such a moment. But I prefer such an honest and clear approach because then I know where I stand and can reflect on everything. Many thanks to the entire team from me and my furry friend, and wishing you a wonderful and peaceful time. 😃 Best regards, Natalie

My 8-year-old gelding had to undergo surgery due to a fetlock injury. The very thought of surgery and general anesthesia is every horse owner's nightmare. At midnight, I received the wonderful call from Dr. Assmann himself, informing me that everything had gone well and I could visit him the next day. He's recovering well, and we hope to be back flying through the show jumping arena soon! I thank you from the bottom of my heart 🥰 for the fantastic work, dedication, advice, and excellent care provided by the team during his stay at the clinic!

I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding treatment my horse received during an acute colic from veterinarian Gerhard Assmann at the Equestrian Center Opfenbach. From the very first moment, Mr. Assmann impressed me with his vast knowledge and expertise. The situation was assessed quickly and very accurately, and all necessary measures were explained calmly, clearly, and in an easy-to-understand manner. I was particularly impressed by his diagnostic accuracy and the targeted, professional treatment steps – it's immediately clear that a truly experienced and competent equine veterinarian is at work. Despite the acute stress, he acted calmly and responsibly. Thanks to his dedicated efforts and professional competence, my horse is doing well again today. I can wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Assmann and would entrust my horse to him again without hesitation.

Very positive telephone contact; my horse had urinary retention and could have come immediately. Just before loading, he had a spontaneous leak. Excellent, courteous advice and the offer to call again anytime should the retention recur. Highly recommended.

We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful support we received through our second opinion. He took a lot of time, spoke with us on the phone, took thorough x-rays, and provided a clear, well-founded diagnosis. Everything was explained calmly and clearly, which helped us immensely, not only professionally but also emotionally, and finally gave us peace of mind. You can immediately tell that he genuinely wants to help and that the animals' well-being is his top priority. We greatly appreciate his honest, straightforward manner and his extensive expertise. Unfortunately, veterinarians like him are becoming increasingly rare. The facility is also very well-maintained and peaceful; the horses are in good hands there. Anyone looking for honest and competent help will find exactly what they need here. Thank you so much!
