Rebecca Skirmont

DVM, CVSMT, CVA

Dr. Rebecca Skirmont is originally from Northern Illinois, where she discovered her passion for horses at a young age competing in 3-day eventing, 4-H and polo.

In 2009, Dr. Skirmont moved to Colorado to pursue her undergraduate degree in animal science at Colorado State University, where she later earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. While completing her studies, she worked as an equine veterinary technician at the university's Veterinary Teaching Hospital, developing a strong foundation in all aspects of equine care with a particular focus on emergency medicine and critical care.

Upon completing her DVM program in 2018, Dr. Skirmont moved to New Jersey for a one-year rotating internship at Mid-Atlantic Equine Medical Center, where she focused on sports medicine and diagnostic imaging and discovered her passion for treating the equine athlete.

Her pursuits brought her to South Florida in 2019 where Dr. Skirmont practiced in Wellington, Florida with a focus on equine sport medicine and lameness.

Dr. Skirmont expanded her expertise by becoming certified in Veterinary Spinal Manipulative Therapy and Equine Acupuncture, enhancing her comprehensive, whole-horse approach to diagnosing and treating lameness.

When she's not caring for horses, Dr. Skirmont enjoys spending time with her husband and two sons.
