| .Dr. Joseph Teshera graduated from Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1983, and started practice in White Salmon, Washington at a mixed animal practice. In February 1984, he moved to Portland, Oregon where he started his career in equine practice at the Pacific Veterinary Hospital. In 1988, the Equine portion of Pacific Veterinary Hospital was split off and became a partner in Pacific Equine Services growing from a 2 doctor ambulatory practice to a 4 doctor ambulatory and limited surgical facility. In 2001 the practice expanded and merged with Northwest Equine Surgical Practice, building a state of the art referral equine hospital. He is currently involved with the ambulatory side of the practice, and although engaged in all aspects of equine practice, his major emphasis is on equine reproduction, including embryo transfer. He is also an adjunct member of the Washington State University faculty as an instructor in the College of Veterinary Medicine Preceptorship Program. |
