Dr. Brown is an Integrative Veterinarian with advanced training in TCVM
She started her veterinary journey as a Western practitioner and is slowly adding the holistic options that she is most interested in. She is a life long leaner and very passionate about her career and patient care
Dr. Brown believes the best approach to patient care is an Integrative approach: a combination of Western Medicine/Diagnostics and TCVM
The main holistic services that she currently offers are TCVM Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine and TCVM-specific Food Therapy. She also offers select Western herbs, PEMF, whole food supplements, etc. Along with a wide array of Western/Conventional Medicine
Future goals of Dr. Brown are to offer laser, Chinese Medical Massage (Tui Na), Equine/Small Animal Chiropractic and Equine Sports Medicine
She does not currently offer homeopathy, chiropractic, laser, fecal transplants, Vit C infusions or non-TCVM specific diet formulations
She is not opposed to the holistic options not currently offered and is happy to give referrals to patients seeking additional holistic support

Vaccine titers available upon request for distemper & parvo

Short answer: No
Explanation:
Dr. Brown understands that pets are family and that choosing a veterinarian is an important decision however it is not possible for Dr. Brown to personally respond to interviews or chats prior to scheduling. Dr. Browns main focus is the care of her patients. She spends her time either with patients or traveling from patient to patient. The only way for her to respond to such requests is to charge a fee for her time as the accommodation of such requests would diminish schedule availability for appointments and patient care while quickly leading to burn out. In a profession that has one of the highest rates of compassion fatigue and suicide amongst all other medical professions this type of request adds undo stress to an already fragile profession
