Conformation and the Prepurchase Exam

Dr. Zappitelli completed a demanding internship at Arizona Equine Medical & Surgical Center where she developed a love for internal medicine and endoscopy.

After moving to North Carolina Dr. Zappitelli completed a rigorous 270-hour course in neurology and spinal manipulation achieving certification in animal chiropractic manipulation in 2016.
