Don't just take our word for it, online reviews tell the story we never could  tell.

My dog Franklin is a Frenchie/Boston mix and was diagnosed with hip dysplasia. My regular vet talked me through the options for him and suggested aqua therapy.

Franklin has been in aqua therapy for almost 2 years and has made so much progress thanks to Jamie and Dr. Nixon.

Every dog’s condition is different and requires different approaches. They are also considerate of how dogs behave around other dogs or people. They really care about the experience of each of their clients.
They help more than just dogs too. I recommend them to anyone whose pet is struggling and needs rehabilitation for their physical needs.

Sarah

The best rehabilitation group. They have helped my dog regain walking from being paralyzed with MUO through acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, water treadmill, and land exercises. Love Dr. Nixon, Jamie and Dr. Gabriel.

Cat

Dr. Gabriel gave our sweet girl an extra nine months of life from the recommendation of our vet to consider euthanasia. I strongly recommend Dr. Gabriel and the use of electro acupuncture and cold laser therapy. It was astonishing to see the reduction in pain this delivered.

Doug

As a practicing Dermatologist involved in laser practice research for many years, I was very hopeful that Dr. Ashley Nixon could help my beloved 16 year old toy poodle Boyd regain some function in his weakened hind end . And she has done so with incredible skill and knowledge and helped his cognition and hearing as well!
