Cheryl Ann Rusin, DVM

Cheryl Truck
Dr. Rusin completed her pre-requisite courses at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City, MI and the University of South Florida in Tampa, FL.  After being accepted to both the UF and Michigan State University veterinary schools, she chose to attend the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine (Go Gators!) considering their excellent large animal program and focus on equine medicine and surgery.

Dr. Cheryl has practiced in the greater Eustis, Florida, area since 2002 and started her own practice in 2007.  She continues to concentrate on providing competent, compassionate care for horses of all types, sizes and disciplines as well as education and support for owners.

Dragonfly Equine Medical Services is a family-owned and operated business.  Dr. Cheryl Ann Rusin is assisted by husband Scott.  The Rusin’s have two sons, David and Daniel, and about 45 animals of their own including horses, donkeys, goats, ducks, chickens, dogs and cats. We look forward to meeting your horse, llama, alpaca, donkey or burro.
