Holistic Veterinary Consultants

Dr. Lewter gave our sweet Perry the best last month of his life. My 12.5 year old rescue dog had been showing signs of trouble walking and limping in his back legs, and our previous vet said it was arthritis. We started a round of medicine, and it got better for a few days, but shortly after got even worse than before medication. They prescribed a secondary medicine that he reacted poorly to. I called that vet numerous times to explain new small symptoms I felt may indicate more, and they gave me the same answer each time. I knew something else was going on, so I called Holistic Veterinary Consultants, and Dr Lewter actually answered. She spent nearly an hour just talking to me, listening, suggesting a few things and genuinely wanting to learn more. She suggested I book an appointment but wasn’t pushy. It was a genuinely caring gesture. I ended up booking just in time for our sweet boy - he started getting weaker. We started with our consultation in person that went far beyond the set time due to my questions, but she answered all of them. We tried laser therapy, Bemer, and acupuncture. He was more comfortable and less tense the next day. We ended up taking off his meds, and he seemed better. We went back the next week, and we discussed what other causes my be impacting his mobility, and those options were all new ones - none the other doctor had explored. We talked about treatment, next steps, and again - no pressure to do more. She noticed his tongue was pale and gave us medicine that would help with that. At our third visit, we ran bloodwork that started revealing another thing - he was very anemic - eventually we discovered it was cancer. Dr. Lewter never said that word so we wouldn’t worry, and she needed to investigate more herself, and eventually suggested an ultrasound that unveiled the extent of his illness. She worked after hours to coordinate the ultrasound to be performed as soon as possible to ensure we got to the bottom of it. We had another two and a half great weeks with our boy and did all the great things we could with him with the time we were lucky to spend with him, and her team was there to answer any questions I had. She even came to our home to help him be at peace outside in the sun surrounded by familiar things to make it as smooth, peaceful, and loving as possible. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better last day with him. From the soothing words, kind understanding, flexibility, and even the thoughtful daffodils (she didn’t know at the time, but I had planted some in a planter with Perry a few weeks back so I could always remember that time together when they bloomed). Thank you, Dr.Lewter and team! We couldn’t recommend you enough - Maria, Norm & Perry

I was there two weeks ago to get my new puppy started on his shots. After the visit they gave me a little gift bag with four sample size bags of dog food. Wonderful dog food I will be purchasing some for my dog 🐕

Dr. Lewter is a great vet. She's so experienced and draws on a wide range of knowledge from both eastern and western medicine to treat animals. Her office is very calm and it takes a while for my pets to realize they are at the vet! She spends a lot of time with you and your pet. I only wish I could find a human doctor like her. My pets get way better medical care than I do!

1/12/21 around 1 PM. I called this doctor and was asking what the cost would be as I live on a fixed income. The receptionist informed me that there was a $50 non-refundable deposit to be payed prior to the appointment, which would be used towards cost of visit...but if the visit was cancelled this was non-refundable. This is robbery and I believe illegal. My dog needs medical help for his shoulder not a crook for my wallet. I don't recommend this business for your pet if you love them. This shows they're strictly concerned about MONEY 💰💰🤑🤑 How much goes in the doctors pocket.

I bring both of my cats here, Dobby and Harry, Dobby gets acupuncture and falls asleep while Dr. Lewter does it. He loves Dr. Lewter and the rest of the staff and gets excited when I pull up to the clinic. Everyone here knows what they are doing and is very professional.
