Remembering Our Founder

Platinum Performance® was created out of clinical necessity by Dr. Doug Herthel at Alamo Pintado Equine Medical Center in 1996. A true pioneer in the veterinary profession, Dr. Herthel created a three-prong approach to healing which included stem cell therapy, hyperbaric oxygen and nutrition. Looking to improve both the quality and speed of healing, he developed Platinum Performance® Equine to support his patients after surgery.
