Working Area
The working area of EDVC is mainly located around the dental clinic in Oud-Turnhout, Belgium and the province of Noord-Brabant in the Netherlands. Theo also regularly works in the Aachen-Cologne-Bonn region in Germany and in the Rotterdam-Amsterdam-Utrecht region in the Netherlands. Further ambulatory visits can be planned when more horses can be treated at the same location. Appointments can also always be scheduled at the equine clinics in the Netherlands and Germany with which EDVC works together.
If you have horses that need to be examined and/or treated outside of the general working area, please feel still free to contact us. Theo is fluent in Dutch, English, German and Spanish, loves adventure and travelling and is always willing to assist with any special queries you may have.
Appointments
Theo can be reached between 08 and 10 o’clock in the morning and between 18 and 20 in the evening (Central Europe Time). When busy treating horses, phone calls are usually ignored. Missed calls will always be responded to at a later time. Due to the high volume of appointments, please be kindly advised that it may take 2 to 4 weeks to schedule an appointment at your location for routine dental work. In case of ‘emergencies’ please note that there is always time at the EDVC dental clinic in Oud-Turnhout, Belgium.
