These are real healing stories from pets receiving integrative and rehab care. Each journey represents our dedication to helping pets move better, feel better, and live better in the comfort of their own homes.
"Dr. McFaddin has been seeing my Dachshund Clancy since his back surgery in 2021. She helped him through recovery, and now just sees him for "tune ups" and any acute pain episodes. I love how dedicated she is to her specialty, her patients, and her clients and she always takes her time with her exams and explanations. Highly recommend!"

Dr. McFaddin has helped us keep our Flynn happy and moving around. Several times over the last 18 months our family thought we may be looking at making hard decisions for our 12 year old. Dr. McFaddin has helped keep him happy and continues to give us more time with him. So thankful for her expertise and guidance.

My senior Cocker Spaniel Angel is not a fan of the vet, but always enjoys seeing Dr. McFaddin! Angel saw her several times after some weekend warrior syndrome, and she was able to get her back to her normal self after acupuncture and muscle work. I love how well she always stays on top of the latest research and therapies; she recommended a supplement that Angel has thrived on!

"Dr. McFaddin cared for our two Cavaliers and taught us so much about integrative medicine we did not understand until we saw the positive results on both our dogs. One suffered from IVDD and the massage and needling worked wonders, bringing greater spine health and function to a previously active boy. The other had various issues in the final stages of his wonderful life and her knowledge of medicine, treatments and her talented hands were worth driving 45 minutes (would have driven further too!) to have her help our beloved dogs!"

Dr McFaddin is amazing. My 13 year old pup, Lucy, had 2 ACL repairs and has a pacemaker. Obviously I’m cautious with any treatment with Lucy’s pacemaker. Dr McFaddin immediately assured me and eased my anxiety. She uses acupuncture, tuning forks, aqua puncture and manual adjustments on Lucy. After her visits, my sweet Lucille has a pep in her step and a lot more energy. Friends and co-workers that see her often have commented on Lucy’s energy level and that “she’s getting around much easier” and I didn’t tell them she had a visit w Dr McFaddin. Total game changer. Lucy’s quality of life has increased tremendously and that makes my heart happy. Dr McFaddin makes my heart happy. She’s a wonderful doctor and a wonderful person.

"Our miniature schnauzer, Lucy, had been having some mobility issues for several months. She saw a few different practitioners who provided some tips and relief, but no one provided comprehensive treatment. Our primary vet recommended Lucy see Dr. McFaddin, and we are so glad we did! Dr. McFaddin provides true 'w'holistic care...the perfect blend of Western and Eastern medicine techniques. Lucy wouldn't continue to have her trademark schnauzer-tude without Dr. McFaddin's care!"

Dr. McFaddin has done wonders for Allie! Allie began seeing Dr. McFaddin once I noticed Allie had trouble finishing her walks due to changes in her hips. There was an immediate improvement after Allie’s first appointment, which included spinal manipulation, trigger point therapy, and massage therapy. Allie went from only walking 1 mile to walking 3 miles! We added laser treatment and tuning fork therapy, which ensures Allie can keep up with her spry doggie brother, Gary. Dr. McFaddin easily adapts to the needs of each of my dogs. She takes the time to listen to your concerns and never rushes through an appointment! My dogs would give a 4 paw out of 4 paw review! Thanks to Dr. McFaddin’s treatments, Allie and Gary are back to enjoying hikes through the woods together!

"With Dr. McFaddin's expertise in integrative medicine, we have seen not only life longevity but also the best quality of life possible! And this is huge when you are the owner of giant breeds."

We are incredibly grateful to Dr. McFaddin for her professionalism, knowledge, and care. She takes the time to understand our dog’s specific needs and approaches his health from a whole-body perspective. The combination of traditional and integrative care makes a meaningful difference in his comfort, energy, and overall well-being.
Dr. McFaddin is thoughtful and thorough, explains options clearly, and creates a personalized plan. Her compassion and dedication to long-term health and quality of life are very evident, and we highly recommend her for integrative veterinary care.

Dr. McFaddin has taken care of all three of my Great Danes—Granite, Loki, and Luna—and I truly cannot recommend her enough. I first found Dr. McFaddin after Granite underwent a complex hip replacement at the University of Pennsylvania that did not go as planned. Without her help, I truly believe I would have had to put him down.
She was able to restore Granite’s quality of life and mobility through integrative therapy, chiropractic care, rehabilitation, and laser treatments. Watching him improve under her care was nothing short of amazing.
Since then, she has also cared for Loki and Luna through multiple illnesses andB.rehabilitations with the same compassion, skill, and dedication. She always takes the time to explain everything clearly, answer questions, and make sure both pets and owners feel comfortable. It is obvious how deeply she cares about the animals she treats.
We are so grateful to have found such a knowledgeable, compassionate, and trustworthy veterinarian.

Oshie is a very active Border Collie who struggled with pain in both her front and back end for several years. Despite seeing multiple specialists and being on constant pain medication, we were unable to find the source of her discomfort. After being referred from a sports medicine veterinarian to a physical therapist, we were fortunate to be directed to Dr. McFaddin.
Dr. McFaddin was able to help Oshie when no one else could. Thanks to her expertise and care, Oshie has been off pain medication for over a year and a half and is back to living the active life she loves. We continue to see Dr. McFaddin every three months for adjustments, and the difference in Oshie’s quality of life has been incredible.
I am so grateful that our path led us to Dr. McFaddin. Seeing Oshie happy, comfortable, and pain-free again has been an incredible gift, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about her.

I have been working with Dr. McFaddin for a year now to help my boy, Oliver, achieve comfort and mobility. It has been a successful relationship for Oliver. Oliver has mild IVDD and arthritis. Dr. McFaddin has taught me at-home physical therapy while offering Oliver a variety of treatment options to include acupuncture, manipulation, cold laser treatments, and massage. He recently suffered a very painful episode and Dr. McFaddin worked collaboratively with his veterinary team, used appropriate medicine, and incorporated her integrative and rehabilitation therapy skills. As a result of her commitment, compassion, and continued support, Oliver is very comfortable today. Oliver and I so appreciate her dedication to his care.
