Lindsey Porubovich, DVM

Dr. Porubovich graduated from Colorado State University in May 2015. She grew up with horses in Arizona and, while attending Arizona State University for her undergraduate degree, she worked as a veterinary assistant in two different small animal hospitals. Later, as a veterinary student, she interned during breaks with the veterinary team at a local Arizona zoo. Although she enjoys many aspects of veterinary medicine, Lindsey really appreciates working with large animals, especially equids. She currently has a strong interest in diagnostic imaging. In 2016, Lindsey completed her one year internship at San Luis Rey Equine Hospital and has recently transitioned to become a full time clinician on the team.

In her spare time, Lindsey enjoys playing ice hockey, spending time with family, and exploring the outdoors.
