Drea and Dr Charoul are amazing. The care far exceeds expectations. I love the follow up emails because I generally feel taken care of. My 15 year old chihuahua feels extremely comfortable there and he even took multiple treats from Dr Charoul AND he has NEVER done that right off the hop of meeting someone! So I take that as another amazing sign. Beau seems to really enjoy the acupuncture and even keeps his little doggles on the entire time when he’s getting his last therapy.
Thanks ladies. You truly are doing something magical in the work you do. Helping our guy age gracefully is the only thing

Dr. Lex has been absolutely amazing, I would highly recommend her for your pets doctor or rehabilitation Dr.
Our dog blew out his hind left ACL six months ago, our vet recommended a $6500 surgery with 80% success rate so we were not into that. We found Dr Lex and have been taking our dog for regular acupuncture treatments ever since. In happy to say or dog just loves his treatments and is way farther ahead of his rehab than if he had surgery.
Try dog acupuncture, it works.

Thank you Dr. Lekx for taking such good care of our Ryleigh. I believe from the moment you plunked a acupuncture needle in Ryleigh’s head she fell in love with you. She always enjoyed coming to see you. Between her laser treatments with you and her swims with Carolyn kept her in our lives for 16.5 years. She did everything her way. Truly a special soul who will be missed. Barb
