Practice Summary and Additional Information
My practice integrates conventional western medicine with alternative veterinary therapies. Some of the alternative modalities I use are acupuncture, supplements, herbal therapies, nutritional strategies, ozone therapy, light therapy, microbiome restorative therapy, and hormone replacement program. Often times the best results come from the synergistic effect of optimizing good nutrition, supplements and other holistic therapies. I am also an advocate for optimizing vitamin D levels, minimal vaccination, vaccine titers, and late spay and neuter for the better health of my patients.
A new patient exam and consultation includes the review of the patient medical history (including diet and nutrition), physical exam and acupuncture (optional). This first visit can take up to 1.5 hour as we will have a lot to discuss.

Acupuncture
I usually recommend 3 sessions to see if acupuncture will be helpful. Although you can potentially see improvements after the first session, it is usually necessary to have several sessions to see beneficial effects. Although acupuncture does not help every patient, it helps many of them live more comfortable lives. The first several sessions are usually spaced every 1-2 weeks but also depends on severity of clinical signs. Once we see an improvement, they are spaced farther and farther apart.
Email & Phone Consultation

I also offer paid email or phone consultation to accommodate busy pet parents or those who live a distance from me. We can address questions and topics for which your pet doesn't need to be examined. For example: Follow up consultation to discuss how your pet is doing and what needs to be changed.

Your Second Vet
I am set up as a holistic vet only to provide you with a second opinion from the holistic & alternative perspective. That means there are services that a primary vet offer that I don’t do, such as x-rays, dental procedures, surgeries, hospitalization and emergencies. It is important to have a relationship with a primary vet near you who can see you for routine work and for urgent issues. Due to my limited hours, I may not be able to accommodate you on a short notice. Examples of the services that I do offer are blood draw for tests (such as vaccine titers and general blood work), schedule ultrasound session with an ultrasound veterinary specialist, home euthanasia, etc

TO GET READY FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT
For the appointment, I will need:
1. Your pet’s previous medical records and blood work emailed to me or have them ready during the appointment.
2. A list of your pet’s food, supplements and medications emailed to me if there is any. The list will enable me to understand what your pet is getting, and it help me formulate a treatment plan.
Lastly, I don't have an assistant, so I will need your help holding your pet for exam +/- blood draw.
