A Well Adjusted Pet - They welcomed us with a sign! - Veterinarians Near Me - Pacifica, California

See all

I also got the nearly $600 fee emailed to me 6 weeks before the appointment was set up. The staff seems kind, they are very responsive and quick, and they have great service reviews, but requiring payment for the appointment just to *schedule* the appointment is really weird and unusual business practice. It's annoying and honestly kind of sketch. Still waiting to hear if they at least will move to a deposit structure or payment plan instead. I think in this economy businesses should be going extra mile for customer financial access, especially it's normal for bills to be more than $250 any given day. read more

A Well Adjusted Pet - My cat chillaxing with acupuncture. - Veterinarians Near Me - Pacifica, California

Co-worker: "You were out yesterday, are you ok?" Me: "Yes, I'm fine...I had to bring my dog for an acupuncture consultation." Co-worker: ( o_O ) Me: "What?" Co-worker: "Are you serious?" Me: "Uhh yea?" Co-worker: "Oh hunny, we must find you a man." Me: "Ok, but make sure he's a veterinarian!" Dogs can't talk so they can't tell us how they feel or when they're in pain. Several months ago, after launching off the bed, Tater Tot started limping and hiking up his leg. We went to see our regular vet and he said that Tater Tot had luxating patella and that if it didn't get any better, he would need surgery. (As a side note, Tater Tot has always had luxating patella but that one jump off the bed exasperated it and increased the severity of it.) NOPE. Surgery is out of the question because of the risks and it may not be 100% effective so I started researching alternative medicine. I read that acupuncture may be helpful so I started seeking out holistic veterinarians. Dr. IIana at A Well Adjusted Pet (inside The Rex Center) is one of two holistic veterinarians that I found on Yelp in SF Peninsula. I ultimately went with Dr. IIana because I had several friends whose dogs went to see Dr. IIana, and they spoke highly of her. Her only availability was 5 weeks out and it was a morning appointment on a weekday so holistic veterinary care for is a lot more popular than many people may think. Tater Tot's first appointment was a 90 minute consultation along with the treatment. Generally, medical professionals want to hit it and quit it. You wait and wait, only for them to spend 2 minutes with you and push you out the door. Not Dr. IIana. She is kind, compassionate AND incredibly thorough. She spent the time explaining Tater Tot's injury and how it's affecting him. She even went on all fours to explain how dog muscles and joints work. During the consult, Tater Tot was really nervous...probably thinking someone was going to stick something up his bunghole (again). Dr. IIana put Tater Tot at ease with lots of love and treats. After examining him, she suggested Shockwave Therapy (instead of acupuncture), Underwater Treadmill, and Adequan injections. Shockwave Therapy helps accelerated tissue repair and cell growth, and restore mobility. The Underwater Treadmill would help build strength and mobility. And, Adequan decreases inflammation and stimulates production of joint fluid and collagen. Dr. IIana also incorporated doggy pilates on the FITbone and physio balls for strength training. After 5 sessions, Tater Tot hasn't skipped, limped, or hiked his leg up! WHOO HOOO! He's doing great and is now in the maintenance phase. Instead of weekly treatments, we see Dr. IIana once a month and interchanges between Shockwave Therapy and Underwater Treadmill, and he does his FITBone exercises at home with the help of string cheese. It's not cheap (the 5 weekly treatments was close to $1,500) but totally worth it. Your furbaby's health is more important than a new LV bag right?! I think many people forget that animal care can be just as expensive as hooman care. Luckily, I have Healthy Paws Pet Insurance that covers holistic care so they reimbursed a good chunk of it. Dogs are family so you can't put a price on their well-being and quality of life. I highly recommend seeing Dr. IIana and her team (Dr. Laurie, Kimi, and Julie) for your dog's mobility issues, ligament injuries, rehabilitation, and spinal injuries! FIVE PAWS from Tater Tot because he always goes home with a belly full of treats. read more

Dr. llana Strubel is amazing!!!! Everyone that works there is so thoughtful, gentle, friendly, knowledgable and kind. Our dog got hit by a car in Sept of 2020. We went to another therapy clinic in Marin and they told us we would have to amputate it. Her nerve was torn. We ran into someone at the park with an orthotic leg and they recommended A Well Adjusted Pet. Fast forward Dr. Ilana tried everything to see what part of our dog's leg was salvageable. She walked me through everything she was doing and explained it perfectly. Our dog was able to get the brace and it has changed our lives. She can take long walks with us again without fear of hurting her paw. We have recommended A Well Adjusted Pet to several people. We are truly grateful for everyone working there, especially Dr. Ilana! read more

Dr.Ilana is amazing. She is the dog whisperer of the bay area for SURE! This is our 2nd time needing her expert help and guidance. The 1 st time - my very active labradoodle dislocated his ankle and was put in a cast for 6 weeks - by an Orthopedist - when we arrived at A Well Adjusted Pets - Charlie was happy to be there - he is a crazy labradoodle with way too much energy for an older dog - but the care and expertise that Dr.Ilana gives is unequalled anywhere else. With e-stim to bring back the muscle tone that he had lost and walking in the water treadmill he re - habbed super fast. Dr. Ilana has healing hands. Charlie has now dislocated his knee on his good back leg - so is getting used to wearing 2 braces - which in two weeks he has fully navigated with Dr. Ilana's help. I don't know where we would be without her help - luckily for us we do have pet insurance which has surely helped with the cost. Do not miss an opportunity to work with Dr.Ilana - she is one of a kind! Your pet will be forever grateful! There is an option other than surgery!! Madeleine and Charlie read more

We loooooove this place! Both of the veterinarians are amazing. All of the physical therapists, receptionist, and staff are the best I've seen. I started bringing my dog here to address his luxating patella. We came up with a plan to start shockwave therapy and water treadmill therapy and supplements. We've had two appointments out of the five of the package we purchased. He's much more comfortable with all the staff and treatments now. The first two shockwave treatments are done with the doctors to assess and develop a treatment plan, and the following treatments are done with a certified therapist. Everyone has been so kind to my dog that he loves coming here. And not just for the human grade cheese he's given to do the exercises!! We were also given a comprehensive List of physical therapy movements and stretches to do at home. It's too soon to tell if the treatment is working well, but we have high hopes with this clinic! It takes us about 3 hours of traffic to get to and from this clinic, but it's such a gem. They provide towels and blowdryers and snacks for the water treadmill work. We opted to not try the injection as my dog is scared of shots, who isn't really?! The doctor was so kind to provide us with a another supplement option, which we have started. They check in to see how he's doing at the start of every appointment and tailor the session to his needs. We opted to not go through insurance, but they can help out with paperwork if you do so. Well worth it to learn non invasive techniques to rehab your beloved pups. Can't wait to see my little baby become stronger with these amazing professionals! read more

I would recommend A Well Adjusted Pet to EVERYONE! I love my little Tucker Biscuit so much and was so upset when he injured himself after jumping off the couch. The staff at A Well Adjusted Pet have been absolutely amazing and so supportive of my little guy. Dr. Ilana is fantastic and has provided me with so much comfort knowing that my baby's getting the best care possible. Tucker did water treadmill therapy and electrostim therapy - their package deal was very affordable. 100% recommend them any time any day!! read more

My dog's knee went out and I was considering getting a custom knee brace for her hind leg but it ended up being a full tear so I think I'm going to the surgery route. I believe the brace is better for shorter hair dogs and can be worn durning their waking hours. For those who are considering a brace that may heal a partial acl tear or your dog is a lot older and want to avoid surgery and are wondering the cost involved it's $1850-2100 which includes the brace and PT or $375 for the evaluation if they can't help your pet. Surgery is about $3000 for my 20 pound dog cheaper if you want to drive closer to Sacramento: $2000 with a 8 week recovery time. A reclining baby stroller can be used to take your dog out for walks while recovering which is easier to locate used than a dog stroller durning the healing time. read more

Dr. Ilana and her team have done an incredible job quarterbacking our pup's recovery from a broken femur and torn cruciate ligament. After getting the diagnosis from our vet, we felt devastated and helpless. We had so many questions and felt like no one could give us honest guidance. Thank g-d we found Dr. Ilana! She dutifully answered ALL of our questions, even though I'm sure we started to get annoying with all our emails. Dr. Ilana gave us the confidence we needed to ensure our pup had the absolute best, safest, and quickest journey to a full recovery. We're happy to report that 12-weeks post diagnosis we have our happy, healthy dog back! We're so grateful to Dr. Ilana and her team for all their support! read more

When your dog suffers a stroke and you have no idea where to go and what to do to help him recover. I'm so glad I found the Well Adjusted Pet. They are truly lifesavers and helped my dog Oreo walk again after my dog suffered a stroke. His left side was completely paralyzed this June 2022 and now he's been improving a lot. They have the most caring, patient and accommodating staff. Dr. Laurie evaluated Oreo and recommended treatments and exercises that I still use until now to help with Oreo's recovery. He did water/ treadmill and laser therapy. Robin took care of Oreo and helped him get better. She's truly an angel and she never gave up on him even when he was so anxious. She went way above and beyond in helping him get better. Through the rehabilitation he got from his treatments he is walking now at home. I'm truly grateful for Robin and Dr. Laurie for all their help in the recovery of Oreo. read more

Our 11-1/2 year old pug Pete approves! Pete has been through a couple of tough years with eye cancer and a degenerative spinal condition. We have been working with Dr. Llana and staff for over a year and it has been a definite improvement in Pete's quality of life. He recently put on almost a full pound of muscle (pug weight) and is doing pretty good all things considered. He does 15 minutes on the water treadmill and laser treatments when he is at AWAP and is now enjoying his golden years with charisma and a home workout routine! We commute down from San Francisco to get our PT it is an easy drive and well worth the trip. read more

We were extremely fortunate that a good friend recommended Dr Ilana to us for our 7 year old German Shepherd Rex. Rex was starting to become stiff in his movement and we had heard incredible things about her mobility work from her treatment of our friend's older large breed dog. In a single session, Rex not only received manual therapy and ultra-sound, which greatly improved his mobility. We also gained beneficial insight into : - What could be causing the tension - Proper movement recommendations to alleviate the issues - Home stretches to perform with Rex in order to improve his mobility - How home injections of adequan could reduce his joint inflammation and assist with improving his pain-free movement I always compare our session to the idea of seeing an extremely talented physical therapist for dogs. Now several months later, Rex has held his improvements and is far more functional and balanced in his body movement and activities (fetch, swimming, hiking, etc). As we have additional questions arise, Dr Ilana is always extremely helpful and responds immediately to our questions. THANK YOU Dr Ilana ! read more

Last year I brought my dog to Dr Strubel for some rehab after surgery on his elbow. I saw that she is thoughtful, thorough, and skilled. She examines your pet with the care you would want. That dog is perfect today. When my other dog developed a limp, I mentioned it to my regular vet, showed them videos of him not using a leg, and the advised me that 1) it's nothing and 2) if he limps, put him in a cage to 2 weeks. Seriously. So I thought expletives and made an appointment with Dr Strubel. It takes a few months and it's not cheap. But IMHO worth every penny. She examined dog2 expertly and diagnosed a ruptured tendon, he got some treatments, and after that he was so happy and perky that I realized how much discomfort he must have been in before. So we're going to keep coming back for 5 more visits, my lovely dog will hopefully recover some muscle strength, and I am looking for a new vet. read more

I cannot thank Dr. Ilana and Dr. Laurie enough for the amazing care that they give my dog Spanky. Even though I do not have any insurance plan that helps cover my visits, there is so much value in the service they provide. And it really helps the pocket that they accept Care Credit. My senior dog was beginning to lose function in his hind legs, and all that was prescribed by my primary vet was arthritis medication. But after our initial consultation with Dr. Laurie, she evaluated and treated Spanky with stretches, laser treatment, an Adequan shot and the Assisi loop. She also emailed me with a summary of our visit, complete exercise plan and suggestions for treatment and supplements. The next day, I saw an immediate improvement with Spanky walking and without needing assistance from me. A few weeks later, I decided to get Spanky treated using Shockwave with Dr. Ilana to see how that would improve his mobility. She also handled Spanky with great care, takes her time, and tries to keep him very calm. The next day, I was worried that he was very tired and did not feel like walking or exercising. I emailed my concern, and both doctors emailed back that same day. I have a few more treatments scheduled which I got under a packaged deal. Julie, the Client Services Manager, makes the process of getting scheduled very easy. Everyone's kindness, patience, responsiveness, and compassion for my pet and me goes beyond any pet care I've experienced the 15 years of being a pet owner. read more

Dr. Ilana is very, very in tune with her fur patients and their humans. She truly loves her job and it shows. I had my first visit to her new office in Pacifica. It's like a big hug going to visit. It's all about the dogs and their care. It's not fancy and there's plenty of dog hair and toys all around. She kept all three of my dogs entertained during their exams. Normally my dogs shiver and shake when entering the vet's office, not here. It's more like a happy dog daycare vibe. For me, the knowledge, the quality of the care, the compassion and the enthusiasm for my dogs really matters. My dogs are my fur babies. If you are looking for all of the above and a less corporate experience - this is a great option and it's so close to San Francisco. Additionally Dr. Ilana is cooperative with pet insurance, has tons of recommendations and tricks for empowering me to be a better owner. read more

Dr. Strubel was the guiding light in the care of our older Chiweenie (Dachshund/Chihuahua mix), Dinky. She helped us with Dinky's mobility and digestion issues. Dr. Strubel was with us right up until the end, and helped us when we needed to let Dinky go. Dinky was 3 days shy of her 19th birthday, which is a testament to Dr. Ilana's knowledge and meticulous care. Dr. Ilana has a real gift with animals, and humans. She explained medical, and nutritional issues to us in terms my husband and I could understand. Also, when we forgot what she told us (as I am prone to do) Dr. Ilana explained everything again without hesitation. Simply put - she is an extraordinary vet, from her expertise down to her toes. As they say in the South, I could sing her praises until the cows come home. She is truly the most compassionate person I have ever known. She knows animals and their human sidekicks in a way that makes you believe she has known everyone in your family her whole life. When Dinky died, I was so heartbroken, I decided I could not adopt any more animals. They simply don't live long enough, and the fact we outlast them seemed (at the time) to be a set up for heartbreak. Fortunately, Dr. Ilana saw through the fallacy of my thinking, and found me a little older Dachshund who needed a home. I love him with all my heart. He makes me laugh every day. And of course, he sees Dr. Ilana on a regular basis, and he's always so happy to see her. So am I. read more

We had a wonderful consultation with Dr. Ilana for our 13 year old Basenji who has arthritis in her back legs and was recovering from a partially torn ligament. Dr. Ilana was very thorough in her consultation and recommended an herbal/supplement treatment for our dog to support her joints. She also showed us stretches and exercises to strengthen her back legs to further support her recovery. Dr. Ilana sent us a follow-up email with all of her notes and detailed recommendations. This was well worth the expense. Plus, the whole visit happened in the comfort of our home. Our dog wasn't stressed at all! (she is highly stressed at the vet office) We are very happy with Dr. Ilana and highly recommend her services for veterinary physical therapy and rehab. read more

Our little doggie, Rambo, has had surgeries in both patellas. The combination of shock wave therapy, treadmill and therapeutic exercises for the past 4 plus years has significantly improved his muscle strength, flexibility and agility. Rambo loves Pilates! The supervised swimming at The Rex Center is a valuable addition. Thank you so much Drs. Ilana and Laurie. Rambo was recently diagnosed with anal gland cancer. Dr. Ilana went above and beyond what we expected. Her advise and follow-up with the surgeon were valuable in ensuring that Rambo gets the best medical help possible. Heartfelt thank you! read more

We're so happy we found this place. Both Dr. Strubel and Dr. Pearlstein are excellent. Our dog has been doing so much better with his treatment here. Everyone that works here is very friendly and helpful and it's great to see our dog doing better after each visit. We highly recommend it! read more

On Dec. 4 our 4 1/2 yr old golden retriever Calli had an accident & ended up with a spinal chord injury. She was diagnosed with either a shattered disc or a Fibro Cartilaginous embolism. She was paralyzed in both her rear legs. After 24 hrs. She started to get some movement in her left rear leg, but the right leg was completely immobile. She spent 4 days in the local hospital & we were advised to take her to Sage Hospital where they had a neurologist. The doctors at Sage said we needed to keep her on bed rest for 5 weeks & then start physical therapy. They couldn't guarantee she would ever get movement in her right rear leg. There was even some talk about possible amputation of the leg if movement didn't return. Dr. Strubel from A WELL ADJUSTED PET was recommended by both our local vet. & our dog groomer. When she heard our story, she had us come in right away. After she did a 45 minute evaluation, she told us she would be able to help Calli walk again! She immediately started therapy, which consisted of laser therapy, underwater treadmill, stretches. & the Assisi Loop. She gave us a sling to keep Calli's right foot in the proper position & suggested the correct harness to get for her so we could carry her up & down the stairs. 10 weeks after her injury she is able to walk with a slight limp & is going up & down the stairs on her own. Thanks to Dr. Strubel & her assistant Kimi!!! They provided her with a loving & playfully stimulating environment, where she flourished & looked forward to going to. All our hopes & expectations for recovery were exceeded and we are very thankful for A WELL ADJUSTED PET! read more

There are not enough stars in the galaxy to represent the likes of Dr. Ilana Strubel at A WELL ADJUSTED PET !!! I have been akin to animals my entire life and always somehow found something lacking in the way veterinarians connected both with dogs they were caring for as well as their humans...

You'll know from the moment you and your pup meet her that angels do exist. read more

Dr. Strubel was the perfect "midwife" to help my beloved 16.5-year-old lab transition out of this world. She is my neighbor too and was right there when it was time to put Jessie down, plus she did it in my living room. A lot of vets are not very good with people, but Dr. S was warm and loving with us and quick and efficient with Jessie. I wish I had discovered her earlier in my Jessie's care, but she did provide some awesome VSMT (chiropractic doggie care) and massage therapy before she passed. The day of the treatment she was more mobile and seemed like she was experiencing less pain. Dr. Strubel is going straight to heaven (if there is a heaven), or at the very least, she is going to have a place of honor on the rainbow bridge! read more

I could not be more appreciative of Dr. Ilana's kind guidance and expertise. I came to her as a mess after my 9-year-old Boxer had fallen down our stairs, because I'd just come from a veterinary neurologist who immediately recommended a $3k MRI and a $7k back surgery, which was both financially impossible and medically undesirable for a Boxer at that age and who has a heart condition. Anyway, Dr. Ilana gave a thorough evaluation, including a full battery of range-of-motion tests, and determined that she had a sprained ACL in her knee as well as the initial back injury. Using a combination of home exercises and hydrotherapy sessions, I have had resounding success maintaining my dog's leg strength and keeping her pain-free. Dr. Ilana has comprehensive knowledge as well as a kind bedside manner and a respect for her clients' financial limits. She was never pushy; instead always supportive, constructive, and positive. I am grateful to her and cannot recommend her highly enough. In fact I've already recommended her to multiple friends an acquaintances. read more

I highly recommend Dr Ilana!!! We had to wait 6weeks due to her availability but she was so worth the wait! My dog had injured his right hind leg back at Christmas and went to rehab and chiropractic care but didn't seem to get better. He was barely walking which didn't make sense. One provider was concerned it was a neurological problem. Thankfully after an evaluation by. Dr Ilana, she diagnosed his condition as an autoimmune poly arthritis. We started meds and in two weeks he was almost 25%better! We have done laser and shock treatment and underwater therapy with the medication adjustments and happy to say my little guy is more than 50% better! Office staff friendly and helpful and like someone previously wrote, Dr Ilana totally has a way of understanding her 2 and 4 legged clients. She is a must see for any of your special furry family members in need of rehab!! read more

I'm an overprotective dog mom, but too many very expensive vet bills and idiopathic conditions have taught me to wait a little while before seeking medical attention, because most of the time, the vet just says to wait it out and let the issues resolve on their own. Recently, Beatrix developed a persistent, debilitating limp that was not going away despite nightly doggy massages. I don't know which aspect of Dr. Pearlsteins multi-faceted approach did it (more likely it was the combination therapy), but within two weeks of our 2-hour session with her, Beatrix's limp was gone. She's back to her normal, pushy, alpha self. It was an amazing transition and I'd go back to AWAP in a heartbeat. Not to mention that everyone there has been incredibly responsive and helpful in terms of getting the necessary records to our insurance agency for reimbursement. Thank you so much AWAP!! read more

Dr Ilana was the 4th doctor I consulted for my dog Mojo after his bicycle accident and she was the first one not to suggest immediate surgery. She gave him an accurate diagnosis and created a plan for him that worked. She's also the first vet he's been to that he adores spending time with. Mojo is completely recovered. I can't recommend her enough, I wish she could be my doctor. read more

I have had a great experience working with Dr Ilana. A friend suggested we see her years ago for chiropractic which helped my then 8 and 10 year old dogs. A few months ago we returned - my dog is now 10.5 and had been showing some signs of mobility problems and pain. Dr Ilana put us on a plan with both prevention and PT exercises - my dog has so much more mobility and strength now, has lost weight and for the first time since I adopted him 4 years ago - likes to run at the beach! We could not be happier with the care! read more

My dear Panda (kitty who is 15 years young) has been dealing with congestive heart failure for over two years now and this is just a testament to how talented and diligent Dr. Ilana is with working with animals. I and all my babies are so glad we are able to continue to work with her in her new practice. Dr. Ilana always makes herself available to answers questions through phone calls/emails/texts. She provides you with notes from her visits and guidance on how you can work with your companions to help them thrive from adolescence through senior years. Dr. Ilana takes the time to explain what your companion issue/needs are and works out a plan that benefits everyone. She is so caring both with animals and people. Thank you Dr. Ilana for the special care you give to my sometimes complicated zoo crew - Panda, Simba, Hugo and Lola. I can't say enough great things about Dr. Ilana - if you are not already one of her clients you need to make an appt. ASAP! read more

This recommendation is WAY overdue. Dr. Ilana is, without a doubt, the best vet on the planet. I've moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles and will continue to consider her my pooches' primary veterinarian. Both Agnes (a ridgeback mix) and Tommy (a chihuahua mix) adore her. They are actually excited when they see we are pulling up to her clinic - that is a miracle! Before Dr. Ilana, both of my girls would tremble and resist getting out of the car when we arrived at the vet. Now they literally leap out of the car and run directly to her side gate. Agnes partially tore her Achilles' tendon last year and I can't think of anyone who could have done a better job seeing Agnes back to recovery. She is unbelievably gentle and so so thorough with her exams. She knows the best specialists and will do everything she can to help your animal recover and REMAIN healthy. The facility is clean and welcoming with the coolest rehab equipment and they have delicious treats for dogs AND humans. She has the best staff who are incredibly skillful, responsive and accommodating (Kimmy and Julie, you rule!). I don't have enough good words to say about everyone at A Well Adjusted Pet. Lastly, Dr. Ilana is also interested in finding natural remedies for your dogs which means she isn't jamming them full of antibiotics and other gnarly things. She is as genuine as they come, has tons of charisma and such an incredible mind. Thank you for everyhing, Dr. Ilana, you truly are heroic!!!! read more

My 11 1/2 years old Ridgeback has really been slowing down.

In addition to being a great doctor the facility is very relaxing - your dog will think they are at a spa rather than at the vet. read more

Our dog came to us as a rescue--his 7th home in his 4 years of life. He was abused during that time. He had arthritis in his front paws, little muscle structure in his rear such that he had a difficult time climbing the 20-40 degree 'hills' in our area. He would fall when trying to do so many times. After shock wave treatments and the water treadmill, he has had a real breakthrough and now can perform his responsibilities as a farm guardian dog. We are thrilled with this transformation in him as is he. read more

Dr ILANA is amazing. My 16 year old (15 at the time of her injury) was some disc issues. She never had anything wrong in all the years of her life. Dr ILANA introduced me into a world of mobility and holistic care which made the last year of her life way better for her. She didn't try to push anything on me that she knew would not work. She just helped me make her comfortable. I never knew the options that I had for my old girl. And when the time had come to say goodbye she was there for us and was very caring and loving. I trust her with my new dog too and I refer everyone I know. She loves animals so much and if there is something that can be done you will be certain she will help you. She is a dog whisperer! read more
