Veterinary Acupuncture
& Healing Arts™, PLLC
Holistic Veterinary Medicine encompasses any diagnostic or treatment modality that looks at the patient as a whole. This takes into account the mind, body and spirit of the patient (yes, our animal companions have a spirit), the human guardians and family, his or her environment, and diet. Due to this fact, Dr. Donato will need to spend a significant amount of time (usually 60-90 minutes) with the patient and guardian in order to obtain a proper history, analyze laboratory data, radiographs (x-rays) and other diagnostic test results, and perform a thorough examination.
For holistic veterinarians such as Dr. Donato, the word "holistic" is not merely a buzzword or advertising jargon. She has spent years in post-graduate education, learning and becoming certified, and then utilizing and mastering these therapies to help her canine and feline patients. This is because she truly believes that these therapies have made a huge difference in the lives of her patients and their guardians.
