It matters not whether medicine is old or new,
so long as it brings about a cure.
It matters not whether theories are Eastern or Western,
so long as they prove to be true.

Mission
Helping owners to treat their whole pet's indiviual needs using the most appropiate combination of conventional and alternative medicines.
My philosophy is to offer personalized service for your pet. My approach to animal health is simple; your pet
is a valued friend and family member in need of treatment, not simply a medical problem to be solved. My goal
is to cure, as well as to prevent disease. To do this, I evaluate and treat your pet from a "whole animal"
perspective. My holistic approach recognizes the fact that outward symptoms exhibited by a pet are just the tip
of the iceberg. I do not want to offer a "quick fix" to your pet's problem, I want to get to the source of it,
and hopefully prevent it from reoccurring. I view your pet's systems and organs as closely integrated parts of
the body, not as separate entities existing in isolation. Integrative medicine is a blend of holistic and conventional
methods of evaluation and therapies. It allows us to use the best tools and therapies found in conventional veterinary
medicine with the comprehensive perspective of the holistic approach and to administer alternative therapies when
appropriate. To seek holistic medicine for your pet is to begin a journey towards healing and wellness. Because your
pet's health problems usually develop over a period of time, the process of returning your pet to health will also
require time. Therefore, commitment and patience are critical to the success of your pet's management. I am committed
to providing you and your pet with my best effort during the healing process. You are encouraged to be an active
participant by learning as much as you can about the treatment I use, keeping detailed records about your pet's
progress, and communicating your needs and concerns to me.
