Meet Our Staff
Dr. Ron Hildebrand is a 1990 graduate of the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. His experience as a veterinarian is exclusively equine, with at least one third of his work in the area of equine dentistry. He is a member of the American Association of Equine Practioners. He is member and former president of the Michigan Equine Practitioners Association. Before veterinary school, Dr. Hildebrand was a breeder of racing and hunter jumper thoroughbreds, and he competed in three day eventing. He is the founder of the Midwest Equine Dental Academy, and has been an advocate of improved equine dentistry throughout the industry. Mrs. Lori Fredrickson, a university of Michigan grad and a 25 year veteran of human dentistry, Lori comes to MEDA not only with a past filled with horsemanship but also a unique take on equine dentistry. She has spent a large portion of her dental experience in public health service providing clinical and community care as well as consultative services and internships for dental and dental hygiene students. Lori offers MEDA students and staff consultation and clinical help (and is a pretty decent barn girl and all around gofer). If she is not in the barn assisting Dr. Hildebrand, she is somewhere in the USA acting as a dental examiner for a national health research project.
Steve Rubin IAED/CA has been working full time as an Equine Dental Technician for 33 years. He is a former president of the World Wide Association of Equine Dentistry. He is certified Advanced by the International Association of Equine Dentistry (IAED). Steve was an examiner for the IAED for 8 years and was on the board of directors. He currently works with Carbide Products testing products as they are developed. Steve works with and for veterinarians and maintains strong relationships to benifit horses under his care. He strongly believes Equine Dentistry is best when performed under the supervision of a veterinarian. |
