SHOW TOPIC

“Every animal is different. We have to pay attention to their constitution, personality, lifestyle, and diet. Only then can we tailor our care and therapy to maximize the benefits.” Dr. Lily Chen

Dr. Chen went on to the world-renowned University of California, Davis, to finish her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree, graduating in 2007. She completed an internship at an emergency and specialty animal hospital, and she has been in general practice caring for dogs and cats ever since.  Dr. Chen completed additional training and became a certified veterinary acupuncturist in 2013. Amazed by the miraculous results in many of her patients in response to acupuncture, she continued her training in veterinary food therapy and veterinary Chinese herbal therapy. In more than a decade of clinical experience, Dr. Chen has found that traditional Chinese medicine complements and balances conventional medicine. Many chronic conditions and diseases can be successfully treated and managed with a more gentle and holistic approach. Treating the body as a whole promotes natural healing and better health.
