Took my senior dog there regularly for 4 years and they treated her like family - Dr Strubel was more than a physical therapist, she was a medical advocate for my dog up until the end, incalculably improving and prolonging my dog’s quality of life. We are so glad we found her!

I am so grateful for the physical therapy and care my dachshund received after his IVDD surgery. It took some time to get him in, but I’m so happy we waited. With my past dachshunds and their IVDD, I didn’t have a resource like this nearby and their recovery was slow. He was so happy to show up every week. It’s the only gym where you get treats for exercise. It’s been about six months since we completed treatment and a year since his surgery. He has regained most of the movement in his hind legs and is back to jumping into the bed for snuggles.

My dog has arthritis in both his elbows and shoulders at a young age. Dr. Illana and her staff are all very friendly, helpful people who helped my dog strengthen his body in five short weeks. She is clear, accommodating, and very thorough with her assessments. I would highly recommend her if your dog has trouble moving.

The moment you set foot as a patient in Dr. Ilana's practice, you feel as though you are being lifted up by two very capable hands. Truly, Dr. Ilana cares about her furry clients (and their human companions) more than any other vet we have seen for our 15 year-old Shiba Inu. Dr. Ilana is thorough at explaining symptoms, treatment and follow-up care to us, and has been instrumental in keeping our dog healthy and pain-free for the past several years as he enters the geriatric phase of his life. Dr. Ilana and her phenomenal staff are caring individuals who spend the time with each patient and give you the attention that you deserve. She is the living embodiment of a healthcare practitioner, and I would even suggest she should be teaching other veterinarians how to do their job. Dr. Ilana's practice focuses on the holistic well-being of your pet, so there are modalities that she is highly trained in assisting with -- for example, rather than put our dog through surgery when he tore his second rear CCL ligament, she fitted him with a custom-made brace that allows him to stay active and without putting him through surgery at 13 years old. This, in tandem with the Rex Center's amazing hydro-therapy techniques, has allowed our dog to stay active and mobile without going through the expense and recovery time from surgery, particularly for an older dog where using anesthesia is always a risk. We routinely see other pet success stories when we visit the clinic, which means she clearly knows what she is doing and has the expertise to back it up. I truly believe that Dr. Ilana is amazingly caring human being who puts your dog's health and best interests ahead of everything else, and that she doesn't suggest "extra" services or unnecessary treatments just for the sake of lining her own pockets. She will tell you in a very straightforward manner what is needed, and let you decide what options you want choose for your pet's well-being. I recommend A Well Adjusted Pet wholeheartedly and would never even dream of going elsewhere for my dog's medical services.

My super active 11 yr old labradoodle partially dislocated his ankle 8 weeks ago and was put in a very think cast for those 8 weeks. I was not happy with the care he received from the Orthopedic surgeon. However - from the minute we arrived at A Well adjusted pet - Charlie couldn't wait to go in and see what was going on in there. He was relaxed ( for him) and loved the delicious treats and the very caring and attentive care he received from Dr.Ilana and her co - workers. We are so happy to have found A Well Adjusted Pet for his recovery and getting him back up and running again. I was highly recommended to Dr. Ilana by multiple people and I can see why after only 1 visit. She truly is a "dog whisperer"! THANK YOU Madeleine
