Dr. Karen Collins, VMD, LCC - Holistic Pet Healing

Dr. Collins was able to alleviate a great deal of pain and discomfort from our dog's hips and spine, using acupuncture & laser therapy. She is truly a very caring and compassionate veterinarian. Thank you again for everything.

I am so grateful for Dr. Collins. She brings that special blend of professionalism, knowledge, talent, and personable. I have firsthand seen how her treatments have helped our dachshund live a happier, less painful life. But wait there's more!!! Dr. Collins has made me a better pet parent. She takes the time to educate on supplements, nutrition and helps with problem solving. Since the day I was referred to her, I have never felt rushed or pressured. Rather I am met with a welcoming smile and someone who honestly cares about the wellbeing of my family member. Dr. Collins is the total package, and I know just how lucky I am to have her on the team caring for my pets.

Dr Collins showed a level care to my cat and I that is not always common in veterinary practice today. She took the time to listen to all of my concerns and was very responsive and understanding. I was able to text at any time with questions and felt very taken care of. Dr Collins took the extra effort to make sure my cat was comfortable and happy at every appointment, and I could tell she was genuinely interested in his well-being and progress.

Dr. Collins is a gift. If I could give her more stars, I would. She has helped three of my dogs live longer and better lives. Each one needed unique care and she always exceeds expectations -- expertly providing acupuncture and laser therapy, recommending supplements, and searching out food that my pickiest eater will allow. She also guides me in helping them at home. I've always felt that she cares for my kids as much as I do, which is lovely. Her team is skilled and mirrors her kindness and compassion for animals and people. Pepper, Jada, and Pee Wee join me in recommending her!

If I had not met Dr. Collins in April 2021, I would not have my golden, Magoo, today. The first time Magoo came down the ramp out of my car, he greeted Dr Collins then promptly laid down in the parking lot. He was experiencing extreme lethargy and was starting to refuse his food. She noticed his tongue color was ‘off,’ and from that point I knew my pup was in excellent hands. Dr Collins advised me to get extensive bloodwork, which I did, revealing all blood values at less than half of normal. She continued acupuncture, started him on herbs and supplements , and put me in touch with an Internal Medicine vet specialist who diagnosed Magoo with 1/3 bone marrow scarring. Dr Collins and this IM vet have worked hand-in-hand and have kept my pup stable and as healthy as possible for now 3.5 years. She has suggested foods that help keep his body healthy, herbs and supplements to keep his immune system strong, and has counseled me every step of the way to keep my very health-compromised pup as healthy as possible. Dr Collins has a heart of gold, is compassionate, is open to my observations and suggestions, and gives every bit of her excellent extensive veterinary experiences, both traditional and holistic, to the health of my pup. I am forever grateful to Dr Collins for her excellence both as a vet and as a caring, loving, compassionate person. She and the IM vet are Magoo’s “Dream Team!” Magoo and I are her #1 fans!
