Acupuncture and Herbology

Acupuncture is rooted in the Eastern philosophy of medicine. It is a holistic approach based on treating the entire body as a unified whole. Every part of the body is considered inter-related. It is a proactive approach to medicine that emphasizes the maintenance of health at all times. This differs from Western medicine which more often tends to treat a specific problem after it surfaces.

Dr. Summer Godfrey believes firmly in the principles of wellness and treating the whole pet, not just treating the diseases that afflict our pets. She will always remain a Western medical doctor first, but she will supplement her western training with complimentary medicine when appropriate. She graduated from the Chi Institute of Traditional Chinese medicine in 2008, and has successfully treated many ailments including upper respiratory infections, anxiety issues, chronic urinary tract infections, arthritis, IBD, and palliative care to cancer patients with acupuncture, whole food therapy and herbs.
