I graduated from Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1998 and practiced conventional, Western Veterinary Medicine for 9 years. After seeing patients suffer from diseases Western Medicine was not able to treat or cure, I began studying Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine. I received my postdoctoral education at the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS). I am certified by IVAS in Veterinary Acupuncture and a member of American Veterinary Medical Association, Texas Veterinary Medical Association, International Veterinary Acupuncture Society and American Academy of Veterinary Acupuncture. I have studied additional parts of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine such as food therapy in 2008 and advanced acupuncture techniques at the Chi Institute in Florida in January, 2009. In addition, I have continued my studies at the Chi Institute in Herbology. Most recently, I was honored to have a publication of one of my cases (Cheeto, the cat- see her pic on page 4) in The Meridian from the American Academy of Veterinary Acupuncture.
I still practice Western Veterinary Medicine using bloodwork, imaging, and other diagnostics but integrate Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine using acupuncture, food therapy and herbal therapy to provide a balanced approach to the treatment and care of your companion.
My house calls are only for Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine. After taking a complete history, performing a comprehensive exam, and a Traditional Chinese evaluation, I may refer you back to your regular veterinarian for additional diagnostic tests or continue with acupuncture treatment. I do take referrals from your veterinarian or you may contact me directly.
