Dr. Rullan frequently travels to broaden his veterinary knowledge and consulting around the world. He continues his studies in equine rehabilitation, lameness diagnostics and treatment methods, and the use of stem cells and regenerative therapy in equine injury treatment and recovery.

I was born and raised in the Florida Keys and traded my flip flops in for a pair of boots after graduating from the University of Central Florida. My family was introduced to Dr. Rullan and Willie 11 years ago when we were in a pinch visiting family in the Ocala area and needed an equine vet – and by God’s grace the Rullan Brothers came to our rescue!
At that time I never could have imagined the impact the Rullan’s would have in my life. Years later my mom got a new horse to run barrels on and shortly after getting him, it was discovered he had DDFT damage and our vet in South Florida suggested taking him back up to Performance Equine! So of course, we took him to Dr Rullan’s for his opinion and after his exam, he was ready to commit 110% to helping Mr P and that’s exactly what he did. Within 8-9 months, Mr. P was able to start working again, and within a year, he was back up and running. Through seeing how Performance Equine handled P’s journey, especially handling my mother (the horse is the easy part 🤣) but keeping my mom informed and at ease while being far away, I developed great appreciation and respect for the Rullan brothers and the clinic!
Fast forward quite a few years, I move to Ocala at a crossroad in my life. I was going through the motions in a career I was not passionate and excited about, so with some courage and a supportive fiancé, I quit the job and began searching. Around this time, my mom decided to sell Mr P and needed to do an ultrasound recheck before the sale. She thankfully hadn’t needed Dr. Rullan’s services for some time and on her way out the door I mentioned, “Hey see if Dr. Rullan needs any office help, I’m sure he doesn’t but doesn’t hurt to throw it out there.” Needless to say I was glad I had the gut feeling of mentioning something because I have now been here for 6 months and truly love what I get to do and help deliver the same caliber of service to our clients and patients that was delivered to my mom!
PAULINA NOWIK
Customer Care Representative
Hi! My name is Paulina. I am originally from Poland, where I first got interested in horses as a little girl. Since getting my first horse at 15 years old, it’s been a whirlwind of events that got me to where I am today. I am very passionate about the general topic of horse’s wellbeing as well as rehab. I have been through some tough times with my horses and it made me so much more interested in the injury diagnosis and rehabilitation part of horse ownership. I am excited to learn more about those topics and share my knowledge with others.
