Laramie grew up in the Salinas Valley, riding horses with her mom and sisters. Although most of her family is involved in the art business, Laramie fell in love with veterinary medicine at the age of seven.

 

Board certified in Veterinary Internal Medicine, Laramie’s professional interests are equine internal medicine, emergency and critical care, neonatology, acupuncture, sports medicine, and ophthalmology. Dr. Winfield is certified in Veterinary Acupuncture and is also a Veterinary Medical Manipulation Practitioner, having completed her training at the Integrative Veterinary Medical Institute in Reddick, Florida. In integrating her riding background with her training in internal medicine, acupuncture, and spinal manipulation (which is the term veterinarians use for doing chiropractic adjustments on horses), Dr. Winfield strives to offer a comprehensive view of your horse's health and performance. Dr. Winfield is an equity partner at Steinbeck Peninsula Equine Clinics.

 

Laramie enjoys spending time with her husband Dr. Nick Carlson (also on our veterinary staff), and their children. She loves horseback riding and 3-Day Eventing with her horse Franky.
