About Us
Dr. West employs her 21 years of Western medicine experience to offer integrated treatment options. The techniques of acupuncture, herbology and nutrition therapy can be applied exclusively, but the best results are often achieved when they are integrated with conventional treatment as recommended by your regular veterinarian.
