Dr. Zubrod has a special interest in orthopedic sports medicine and surgery, with particular emphasis on lameness diagnosis, imaging and treatment. Dr. Zubrod has been a speaker at several local, state, and national meetings, on subjects ranging from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the equine distal limb to osteoarthritis of the distal hock joints. Washington State University was the first location in the world to utilize MRI to diagnose lameness problems in horses, and Dr. Zubrod adds this valuable experience to Oakridge Equine Hospital.
