Overview

We are a full service veterinary hospital providing excellent conventional, holistic and integrated veterinary care. Our focus is on keeping your pet healthy and promoting quality of life

Originally established as Veterinary Holistic Care in 1995 by Dr. Monique Maniet, Balance Veterinary Center has evolved into a comprehensive conventional, holistic and integrated veterinary medical facility under the leadership of Dr. Nicholas Albano. Dr. Albano’s interest in holistic medicine began years ago when he witnessed his patients coming back again and again for chronic ailments with no resolution. He began exploring more natural and alternative options such as acupuncture to help alleviate chronic ailments, and to approach their core problems from a different mindset. Although these classic and natural healing modalities made great strides in helping his patients, it was the integration of high quality conventional medicine that allowed the most effective healing to occur. Dr. Albano continued an approach of kindness and warmth with every patient, making sure that every aspect of a patient’s veterinary experience felt more like visiting a family than going to an intimidating and sterile medical setting. From the design of our facility to the welcoming nature of the staff, we expect every client and patient to feel at home. Balance Veterinary Center provides comprehensive and gentle medical care to thousands of animals each year. From multi-modal Eastern Medicine to the latest technological diagnostics and therapies, Balance Veterinary Center focuses on healing your pet through wellness, prevention, and loving care

Mission — Balance Veterinary Center will be recognized by pet parents, animal lovers and the veterinary community as a welcoming place to go for animals to receive optimum care, integrating natural and holistic modalities with modern medicine. Balance Veterinary Center will be known to bring balance to the lives and lifestyles of people and their pets by blending a foundation of prevention and wellness with comprehensive strategic options for the elimination of illness and disease. Balance Veterinary Center knows there is more than one path to optimum health and as such we will be the first choice for those seeking informed alternatives to prevention and elimination of illness. As such we will always strive and take the time to educate our clients allowing pet parents to feel completely comfortable and in control of their pets’ health. Balance Veterinary Care clients and partners will recognize our unparalleled reputation for quality, compassion, and warmth understanding that our success comes from going beyond simply curing disease but rather fostering a sense and focus of whole life wellness. Balance Veterinary Center will be viewed as the ideal place to work for our staff and veterinary employees in the region. We will do this by providing a work environment based on teamwork, self respect and pride. Our philosophy of promotion from within, and our ability to provide the education and tools to make this happen, will result in low turnover and high morale. This in turn will allow our clients to feel comfortable with the familiar faces of their pet care family. Balance Veterinary Center will manifest our core values in everything we do: Integrity, Compassion, Accountability, Teamwork and Balance
