Jeffrey M. Edelson, VMD
Dr. Edelson grew up in Lancaster County. As a child and teenager, Dr. Edelson was entranced by horses: riding, showing horses competitively, and caring for them. When not with the horses, Dr. Edelson spent many youthful hours at his father's steel plant.
Dr. Edelson studied at the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School, graduating in 1974 when he founded what is now Edelson Equine Associates. The medical team works out of his family farm in Manheim.
Over the years, Dr. Edelson developed expertise in several areas, reproduction, lameness, and general medicine. He is an acknowledged specialist in fertility and reproduction and has delivered over 14,000 babies in his career. Dr. Edelson’s skill in lameness diagnosis has resulted in clients shipping in horses from other states and sending Dr. Edelson to other states to diagnose their horses.
His skill with an X-ray machine has caused an orthopedic surgeon client to complain that he wished his patient’s X-rays would be of that high a quality. Dr. Edelson’s decades of medical practice has run the course of treatment of everything from Potomac Fever, West Nile Virus, colic, and all of the everyday aches and pains a horse can encounter.
When not consumed with his medical practice, Jeff honors the horse through the art of steel sculpture.
