What reviewers say

88% Positive sentiment
based on 195 reviews

Set on a peaceful farm setting, this veterinary practice offers an integrative and holistic approach to animal care, specializing in modalities such as chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture for dogs, cats, and horses. Appointments are notably thorough and comprehensive, often lasting several hours to educate pet owners and address root causes of health issues. While many families travel long distances and praise the compassionate handling of nervous animals and the depth of knowledge provided, some experience communication barriers and difficulties with scheduling or phone access.
