Dr Barotz is a real find. She is the best of both worlds; a Cornell Vet school graduate and…read moreextremely knowledgeable in a Chinese medicine approach. She believes in both, each complimenting and supporting the other. That's what I wanted and need for my best friend and little boy, Trooper. On top of that, she is happy to work with a patients' regular Vet and studies their medical records thoroughly. She has a gentle, caring manner and spends the time to fully explain her analysis, opinions and reasons for her recommendations. Dr Barotz has a 360 degree approach and the education, knowledge and experience to carry it out. I am so very happy to have her at our side through what is a very tough time. My Trooper has liver cancer. Thanks to her, I have a much better understanding of how I can give Trooper's body more support and comfort, as well as other options I might have for his care. I wish I had known her when I first adopted Trooper 11 years ago, through sickness AND health. I think we can take better care of our little friends with her full approach.

So besides needing eye drops for glaucoma and a cataract she required Prednisone. Well we all see these commercials for wonder drugs ( the wonder is why we take them with all the side effects) so even though the Prednisone gave my girl relief it slowly started to effect other systems. Last week in what appeared to be overnight she slowly stopped eating but only drank. That was a red flag. Took her to an emergency facility which was a nightmare. Four hours sitting around waiting for some diagnosis. Every so often someone would come out and give some empty info. Finally a vet came out and provided me with a 3 page plan with an estimate that sent me to the cardiologist. This where Zen Dog comes in. Based on the diagnosis and the plan with no light at the end we felt the best most humane course of action was to euthanize. Spoke with Dr. Ray., he could not have been more understanding and compassionate. He showed up at the house took the time to explain the process. Once comfortable with what was going to happen he started. Dr Ray gave us time to be with her and comfort her until the end. It was a very tough thing to deal with but she went with family around in her home and peacefully. If anyone who reads this is at that point with their beloved pet, Zen Dog is in my opinion a great comforting option

All of this began after she was spayed at 6 months and developed a staff infection. I followed traditional medical treatment for years using steroids, creams and shots which only helped on a temporary basis and her condition continued to worsen. I then changed her diet to a raw and grain free food and began a more holistic approach to her care. I saw improvement but not rapidly enough. After reading about the benefits of Chinese herbs and acupuncture, I searched for a veterinarian that used these tools in their practice. I was very fortunate to find Dr. Gurevich to treat my dog, and the results so far are more than favorable. My observatioan of Dr. Gurevich is that she is a very knowledgeable and dedicated young woman who clearly has a great love for her profession and the animals that she treats. She examined my dog and reviewed all her medical records and stated that she would work along with my preferred vet if I wanted her to. After her evaluation, she prescribed two Chinese herbs to help with her skin and inflammation and then performed acupuncture and laser which also treats her skin and paws. After two series of treatments and several weeks on the herbs, my dogs coat is beautiful, and her constant licking of her paws has subsided to where the fur is starting to grow back. Her energy level is astounding to me! She has the energy of a puppy! The best part is that Dr. Gurevich comes to my home to treat my dog which has completely eliminated the stress and anxiety factor of going to the veterinary clinic! I am so pleased and grateful that I have found Dr. Anna Gurevich. I highly recommend her services for alternative therapies in treating your pet.

Helping your dog cross over the rainbow bridge is never easy but having a good experience is…read moredefinitely something everyone takes for granted.. our girl took an unexpected turn last Thursday and we made the decision to put her to sleep at home that night.. I stumbled on happy paws on google/facebook and I really wish another vet had an opening and was able to come to our home. From the second I spoke to Dr Mink I felt rushed. I initially called her around 12/1pm to ask if she had an opening and she did from 6-8pm that she can be here.. I tried to call her back to confirm but she said she was in a house call and she'll call me back.. call back never happened.. turned into just a text exchange confirming she can come between 6-8pm. When she got here at 6:30 all we wanted was 10 extra minutes with our girl.. she made it seem like I was asking for an hour and said she can give us 5 minutes as she has another appointment right after.. I already got annoyed at this comment right from the beginning. When she came in first thing she asked for was payment.. no asking of what our girls name was, how old she was, what was going on.. nothing.. zero sympathy.. went straight for payment and then straight to almost giving her the first shot to put our baby to sleep.. she then gave us maybe 5 minutes and went straight to shaving her paw and putting in the IV line.. After our girl was gone the Dr gave us zero information about cremation.. all I got was can you pickup her ashes in Clifton? That's it.. no name of the company nothing.. we were also in total shock still so even asking these questions then completely went over my mind. I had to text her the next day asking when we can pickup her ashes and when they will be ready.. all I got was an excuse saying she sent the information already but the text didn't go through so she will resend them. In the end we picked up our girls ashes and paw prints on Tuesday, all no thanks to the Dr, I called the cremation place myself and was told everything was ready for pickup. I just hope this review helps others.. we were going through one of the worst days with our girl and looking back at all the things that happened I really wish we went with someone else.

I made the unfortunate mistake in seeing Dr. Yasson two years ago…read more Initially, she was able to help with diarrhea that our cat was having due to antibiotics when she recommended slippery elm which cleared it up quickly. After that though I wish I'd known to find someone else. At the time my cat was having a lot of issues with IBD and constipation. We had tried a number of diets and kept having to switch things up because nothing was helping. By the time we started seeing Dr. Yasson we had her on novel protein freeze dried food, which helped her stop vomiting, but the new problem was constipation. We kept having to up the amount of pumpkin purée in her food to try and keep her regular that we were giving her a full tablespoon each meal. I started seeing Dr. Yasson because she advocated for feeding raw and tried three different times to get her help in switching over to raw. She told me initially how to transition by doing half ground turkey cooked with half ground raw but nothing more. I didn't know what to put with it to make it complete with the right amount of nutrition nor how quickly to transition her to being completely raw. I brought it up again and she told me to hold off until we were able to get her teeth cleaned. Fast forward a few months and I made another appointment with Dr. Yasson specifically to get our cat switched over to raw. When that time came and I brought it up her words were, "Let's not fix what isn't broken." How could she not realize how much she needed to be taken off of the freeze dried food? She was having terrible constipation issues. A few months later we had to run her in to the ER to get her unstuck and that's when I knew I needed to find someone else. Unfortunately the damage was done. I found out she was in stage 2 renal disease. The last year and a half has been a nightmare due to her kidney disease and it has been extremely costly. I regret with every fiber of my being that I didn't go to someone else sooner as this window of time was crucial to stave off kidney disease because the freeze dried diet was way too hard on her kidneys. I do not feel that she listened to the severity of her symptoms nor that she cared. I blame both her and myself for not having sought out someone else as soon as it was clear she wasn't going to assist with what our girl needed.
