Wanted to schedule an appointment and the receptionist never got back to me ! On top of the fact he doesnt see your pet in person

My dog, Lola, has had GI issues forever. I've switched up her foods and had her on different meds for four years. I even did a blood test for food allergies. Dr Bittan was able to prescribe herbs to help and Lola has not had a major flare up in the eight months since our office visit. Max is also super helpful running the office and talking through any health questions. read more

Our Beagle is doing great with Dr. Bittan's help! We wrote this update for Dr. Bittan: 1) Dr. Bittan helped us understand that we didn't need an echo from a cardiologist. We still decided to do it for peace of mind, but after talking to Dr. Bittan we didn't feel scared into doing it, which was a big relief. Max is 13.5 years old so now we are 100% confident about the status of his heart murmur as we go into his last years with us and we will have a baseline for comparison so we will be able to measure the difference from now in case it changes later on. 2) As we all expected, there was nothing exciting on the echo. Cardiac changes were mild and compensated, so no cardiac therapy warranted. 3) The most exciting news is that we lowered our dog's blood pressure enough that we are able to wait before having to put him on the blood pressure medications! Dr. Bittan helped us accept that he would need blood pressure medication and we are ready to start them if/when needed, but we were able to solve enough other issues to delay that for now! 4) Dr. Bittan's idea to have another vet come to our home to measure Max's blood pressure was huge! It was 30+ points lower just by doing it at home with his parents present! It turns out that Max hates the blood pressure cuff on his leg, so he jumped around and it spiked to scary readings when the vet tried to do it himself, but when mom and dad stayed there with Max to keep him calm, and when the vet took blood pressure readings on Max's tail, it was almost within reasonable every time. Still a little high, but not as scary or urgently high. 5) Fixing Max's nutrition immediately lowered his respiration rate and heart rate and likely also his blood pressure. 6) Finally, Max saw a chiropractor for the first time and got immediate relief from some pain in a couple areas of his back that we think we caused by being less active and not keeping his nails trimmed well enough during the pandemic (we bought clippers to do it ourselves but couldn't get them short enough for him to be comfortable). We would have taken him to Dr. Bittan if we were still in SoCal. Max is so much more comfortable now! All of this is such a relief for us. Max is feeling better, and so are we! read more

This is absolutely the only vet who can give Joey acupuncture. He won't tolerate it from anyone else. He comes in limping, goes out prancing. After 3 back surgeries, the poor little guy really needs the maintenance care. Great facility in Malibu, and Dr Bittan is a peach. read more

Marc Bittan, DVM - Holistic Animal Care Near Me - Malibu, California

See all

I was given the phone call every pet owner dreads, there was something wrong with my cat and that the only possible option was for him to be euthanized. I battled for a while with this as he didn't seem to be in discomfort. I was forwarded Dr Bittans information by a trusted friend who breeds cats. After the consultation I collected all of the medications recommended by the dr at his assistant maxs home and started my cats treatment. I've been administering the medications for several weeks now and wow what a difference. Not only is my cat gaining weight again; but he's looking and seems to be feeling much healthier and happier! I'm thrilled I got the courage to follow my instincts and ask for a second opinion and to have found such a great doctor for my cat. He was able to determine the problem from the blood work that was done at the previous vet, the previous vet weren't able to even figure out what was wrong and suggested my cat should be put to sleep at their negligence! Unbelievable. I'm just so grateful for Dr Marc Bittan and his team/ THANK YOU for saving my cats life and preserving his health and quality of life. I will forever be grateful, I found their calm and reassuring manner during my time of worry and concern for my cat very helpful too. 10/10 experience. read more

Please look into other Holistic vets before coming into Marc Bittan's office. We ended up seeing him out of desperation due to our circumstance, but please take your time and research for a better Holistic vet. PLEASE NOTE HE DOES NOT HAVE AN OFFICE ANY LONGER. HE ONLY WANTS YOUR MONEY. We booked a consultation that costs $200-250 for just a conversation with the doctor. When we first arrived, he was rushing looking over our dogs paperwork. Clearly, he was not prepared/cared to even review his paperwork. During our conversation, he kept blabbing on and on about situations that he has experienced and it was hard to even get a word in about our dog and his diagnosis. He ended up prescribing our dog about 7 different pills which cost us about $350/month. The prescription seemed to work, but at the same time, we decided to switch our dog to a raw diet and that seemed to be the best for him. One year after his diagnosis, our dog started having seizures. We reached out to the Bittan to help. He and his assistant, Max, were EXTREMELY hard to get in contact with. We were desperate to get any new medication that would help our dog with his seizures. Bittan and Max prescribed random medication that costs us up to $400. Bittan also didn't have an office any longer so we had to pick up medication from his assistant, Max's, house which felt sketchy. In the end, our dog passed away after 1 year after his diagnosis. I notified Max, the assistant and they went completely radio silent. They only responded when we were paying for their product. If you didn't read any of the above...read this part. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE research into other Holistic vets. I promise you will find a better doctor than Dr. bitten. read more

My first visit to Dr. Bittan to treat a yeast infection my dog had in 2011/2012 was fine. He was very caring and treated the issue well with (mostly) natural remedies. After this experience I naturally returned to him a couple of months ago for a general check-up. I got the feeling he was in a hurry to get me out the door even though it wasn't busy. I had to prompt him to do the check-up (look at her teeth, eyes, etc.) He gave me a referral to have her teeth cleaned and sent me on my way. After doing some research on my own I made an appointment with Dr. Bittan's referred location for the initial check-up to make sure she is healthy enough to be put under for a deep cleaning. Imagine my surprise and horror to be notified at that visit that she has a heart murmur. I honestly don't remember if Dr. Bittan mentioned a murmur when he listened to her chest but IF he did, he downplayed the situation. Now, instead of having her teeth cleaned I am having her treated for heart disease which could have cost her her life if not caught when it was. I am normally all for holistic health care, but I will not be taking my furry child back to this doctor...ever. read more

Dr. Marc is a very caring, knowledgeable and resourceful vet who took part in saving my cat Charlie's life when he was hit by a car at a mere 6 months old. I was out of town at a funeral and my landlord was taking care of Charlie for me. They were out in the yard together pruning roses and Charlie decided to chase a squirrel and got hit. He was rushed to the nearest Vet who called me to say that Charlie wouldn't live through the afternoon. My friend took Charlie to 24 hour emergency hospital in West LA where Dr. Bittan had sent two remedies along with her for Charlie, one for trauma and the other for brain injuries. To my surprise, the hospital allowed these remedies to be put in his IV. Within hours, he was moving around and aware of his surroundings. 3 days later I arrived to find Charlie with internal bleeding, frontal lobe damage and not eating.. However he was ALIVE.. After 10 days of around the clock care, Charlie was released form hospital.. The Vets said that he would probably never really be able to walk very well again.. I kept up the remedies for brain injuries and trauma.. Charlie could only walk a few steps and then fall over, so I kept him in a playpen.. One night I was fast asleep in bed with my other kitty Ruby, and lo and behold, Charlie jumped in bed with us! I know all the Vets care helped Charlie survive, but I attribute the life saving remedies that Dr. Marc Bittan made up to having a HUGE part in saving my dear Charlie's life who is now almost 15 years old. read more

I brought my 22-lb. dog to Dr. Bittan for chiropractic treatment and I am very pleased with the results. Unlike the bad habit that my regular vet has gotten into lately of promoting whatever treatment or medicine he's just learned about, DR. BITTAN DID NOT TRY TO UPSELL ME AT ALL, and low or no pressure goes a long way toward earning my trust these days. He performed the consultation, with a thorough explanation of everything he was looking for and why, and then did a chiropractic treatment, as I'd already guessed would be necessary. At the end he provided some low-cost herbs for back pain. He didn't insist I would need to come back for follow-up treatments, nor did he try to convince me to buy into any other procedures or regimens. He simply said to come back again if it seems like the dog needs it! My dog RAN back to the car, which he hasn't been able to do for several months. I could hardly keep up with him. This experience has led me to trust Dr. Bittan's competence and professionalism. If there is any insignificant downside, it's that the doctor's office isn't modernized or clinical looking, which might turn some people off. But don't let that mistakenly influence you to undervalue his services. I think he's highly skilled, compassionate, and down to earth. read more

Dr. Bittan is an excellent vet who has a wide variety of knowledge from Western ways of handling animal health to Acupuncture, Herbology and Homeopathy. My dog had horrible allergies where she would scratch her skin raw and was always on steroids and antibiotics. I wanted to try a curative approach instead of a palliative one. He used a vial of my dog's blood when she was at her worst allergic state and created a homeopathic based on it. Each month the dose strengthened and after 6 mos. she was so much better without meds and then after 1 year she was almost completely cured. He is an excellent diagnostician and often gives me advice when I stop in to pick up frozen raw dog food that he always has stocked in a large fridge in the back. I am always made to feel welcome. He will be my vet for any subsequent animals I rescue. His right hand gal, Judy, is also very helpful and goes the extra distance. Please call this office for any of your veterinary needs. read more

My Vizsla sliped a disk in his back, 2 years ago when he was 12 years old. After a MRI and steroid injection, we took him to Dr. Marc for treatment. He has been treating him for the last 2 years with Acupuncture. The results have been fantastic! My dog is now 14 years old and thinks he's a puppy.....Jumping in the car & up on the bed. I know, that had we had not found Dr. Marc we would have had to put our dog down. I can't recommend him enough. I sure that you will also find him knowledgable, caring & professional!!! read more

This review is LONG OVERDUE because Dr. Bittan is a LIFE SAVER!!! 2 years ago one of our dogs, a 9-10 year old Yorkie Silky, was having a terrible time with his allergies. We tried the conventional route of steroids; from weekly shots to pills, the symptoms never went away & we ended up with a "zombie" dog whose spirit was so broken by the side effects. He gained weight, had the droopy belly, could barely walk down the stairs; we had to test his blood every 6 weeks to make sure he wasn't getting Diabetes...it was not a fun experience but unfortunately those were the only options...until I found Dr. Bittan!!! I was in Chicago visiting my family & did research on Holistic Vets; thank goodness I found Dr. Bittan. As soon as I got back from my trip, we took Maddox (our Yorkie Silky) in for a consultation. Dr. Bittan was VERY informative & knowledgeable; he explained the treatment plan he had in mind for Maddox & mentioned that although the allergies might not completely go away, he expects that this would relieve most of the problems Maddox was experiencing. We started the treatments which included herbal tablets, pro-biotics & an AMAZING allergy symptomatic liquid formula that Dr. Bittan mixes himself. Well, immediately we noticed a difference; Maddox wasn't licking as much & his skin went from dry & irritated to "normal" within weeks. We are still on the same protocol 2 years later & are very happy with the results. Just recently, like last week...we had another experience with Maddox. This time it had to do with Maddox, all of a sudden, waking up in the middle of the night; he was barking, panting, really anxious & wouldn't calm down until we took him outside for a walk. This started on a Saturday & continued through Monday night. Thankfully Dr. Bittan was available the following morning on Tuesday; we called his office & luckily got in the same day. Right away, Dr. Bittan addressed all the possible scenarios & spent quite a bit of time examining Maddox; other than the peculiar episodes the previous 3-4 nights, Maddox seemed OK but was most likely experiencing anxiety. Dr. Bittan suggested we put him on some natural stress & anxiety remedies; an herbal tablet & a liquid stress/anxiety formula which we give him about 10 drops per night as needed. Well, once again...Dr. Bittan is a LIFE SAVER. That very same night, with just one herbal tablet & 10 drops of the anxiety/stress formula (which we gave him twice that night; 2 times, 10 drops each time before bed) Maddox slept through the night; didn't disrupt our household for the first time in 4 nights...we all got sleep that night & it's all thanks to Dr. Bittan. I can't recommend him enough; in fact, I recommend him to EVERYONE I know that might be dealing with ongoing health related pet issues. On our last visit we met a 19 (!!!) year old Yorkie who Dr. Bittan is also taking care of...and a beautiful chocolate lab who, per her owner, was diagnosed with incurable cancer 6 years ago...well, thanks to Dr. Bittan, that doggie is doing just fine without all the horrible side-effects from chemo & radiation; in fact, I believe she's alive because of Dr. Bittan & his amazing treatments. I know there are a lot of skeptics out there who don't believe homeopathic or holistic treatments work, well, Maddox's "daddy" was ONE of those people...until he saw first-hand the results we got after seeing Dr. Bittan. Do yourself a favor; if your pet is diagnosed with a serious illness or has a chronic health problem (including allergies or anxiety, as in our case), call Dr. Bittan. I can't thank him enough for taking such great care of Maddox & also for giving ME peace of mind. Whenever I can skip conventional meds & the side effects, there's no question it's worth discussing with Dr. Bittan. He is THE best! read more

Absolutely amazing. He gave me more time with my dog while another vet told me to put my him down. Dr. Bittan got my yorkiepoo on a new antibiotic and he lived several more months. I am so grateful. He took the time to really talk with me and explain. He is extremely knowledgeable unlike other vets. If he doesn't know something he will tell you and not pretend. Max runs the office so well and you will feel at home there. Don't hesitate to visit Dr. Bittan! read more

My Dog Groover after follow up with Holistic treatment by Dr Bittan his recovery is 10 thank you

I am sooo grateful for Dr. Marc Bittan's help and would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone. My cat was diagnosed with cancer and I took her to several vets including City of Angels cancer center before going to Dr. Bittan. The type of cancer she had was terminal and there were really no options for a cure. I could have done radiation treatments through City of Angeles but that cost well over $8,000 and still wouldn't have extended her life much as well as causing horrible pain with no guarantees it would even work. My primary vet ended up recommending I take her to Dr. Marc Bittan to look into Chinese medicine treatments and I did. I can not say enough about how wonderful Dr. Bittan was. While 3 other vets said she only had a MAX of 1-2 months to live, Dr. Bittan said it was possible with proper alternative medicine that she could live more than 6 months. He actually met with me for a full hour to sit down and talk! He explained all the aspects of this particular type of cancer, what all of the traditional and alternative treatment options are, how they affect the cancer, what would happen as the cancer progressed and even gave me some helpful caring advice on how to prepare for it emotionally. He provided me with more through information than many human doctors I have encountered. I had no prior experience with Chinese medicine but I figured in this case I had nothing to loose and it was worth trying if it could slow the cancer down and extend her quality of life. WELL IT WORKED!!!! My kitty ended up enjoying life for 9 months after her diagnosis!!!! And she was happy, enjoying her kitty life right up until the end. I took a chance and it payed off and gave me many precious extra months with my best friend. I will truly be forever grateful to Dr. Bittan for his help with extending my cat's life far beyond what anyone else said was possible. When I finally had to put her to sleep, the vet that did the euthanasia said she was absolutely shocked and amazed that Onyx had lived so long. She said "Cats with this type of cancer do not live this long so what ever Dr. Bittan gave her absolutely helped to extend her life a great deal/" What else can I say but I would highly recommend anyone to take your animal to Dr. Bittan. Western medicine is not the only or best option for every case. read more

Dr. Bittan is THE BEST! My dog had an unsightly growth on her face. I took her to a different veterinarian first who estimated an $800 fee to snip this off her face! I then visited Dr. Bittan who applied an herb (for a minimal cost) that within two weeks dried the growth and it fell off. I highly recommend him to any animal lover. His knowledge is vast! read more

Dr Bittan was the 5th doctor we went to to help our dog with Allergies...and we have never looked back. Time after time both traditional and so called alternative doctors directed us to dangerous and life shortening drugs to deal with the severe skin allergies. Dr Bittan's Knowledge base is so deep, his experience invaluable and his approach- heal the dog, dont bury the symptoms. After two years of treatment our dog is completely drug free- and a happy healthy dog with many good years ahead of him. Homeopathics and Isotherapy were MORE effective than steroids and lupis type drugs we had been using before. I recommend Dr Marc Bittan to all!!! read more

Dr. Bittan has cared for my pets for many years. Always knows what to do and always prescribes the right medications and protocols. His knowledge of the eastern and western meds is amazing. His office hours are limited, so it's good to plan ahead. There is an emergency vet next door if you find yourself needing a vet when Dr. Bittan is booked solid or closed. read more

I had an informative consultation at Dr. Marc Bittan's local office in Los Angeles. Dr. Bittan is a seasoned doctor and had a handful of practical solutions for my golden retriever that were common sense. It's a relief for me to have a doctor who understands what caring for animals is about as opposed to using pharma as the first approach to anything. read more

Doctor Bittan is literally a life saver. I was referred to Malibu Holistic Healthcare and Dr Bittan by a close friend who raved about what he had done for her dog. He saved her from a $4,000.00 surgery and all that goes along with surgery. At the time I was desperate and in dire need of a miracle and he has delivered that miracle. My 6 pound yorkie was diagnosed with CIL Canine Intestinal Lymphangectasia and IBD in mid March. We nearly lost him. He lost a pound and was having labored breathing and retaining fluid in pockets around his heart and lungs. My regular vet sent me to VCA which was a horrendous experience. We saw a cardiologist and internist and had a series of ultrasounds. At around $3500.00 I stopped the testing and declined a $3000.00 endoscopy. My dog's condition was guarded and touch and go. I was advised to keep him on the same diet he'd been eating and give large amounts of medication. I knew this wasn't right, and researched the disease and changed his diet immediately with the help of a nutritionist. He started to improve a little. Once we found Malibu Holistic Healthcare Dr Bittan put Ziggy on homeopathic remedies and supplements and spent over an hour with us explaining everything. The VCA spent maybe 5 minutes with me and told me to go home and research the disease. This man is a genius and knows health better than anyone I've ever come in contact with. I finally felt hope, like I hadn't been given a death sentence. Now 8 weeks later Ziggy is spunkier than he's been in years. We're still on the protocol and will be for life, but I've gotten my dog back! I have no doubt that he would have died already had I just listened to the advice of the internist and not sought alternative treatment as well. Dr Bittan is about "Quality of Life" I can not recommend him highly enough and am forever grateful to him for being the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm hopeful that I'll have Ziggy not only alive, but thriving for years to come. read more

Upon looking the Yelp Website regarding Dr. Marc Bittan's comments, I saw one letter in particular that referred to Dr. Bittan's Isotherapy that had not worked. I have used that therapy on a couple of my cats with great success. My daughter did the therapy on her cat who suffered from Chronic Asthma. The cat was completely cured. Dr. Bittan is amazing. He has cured so many of my rescued animals when no one else could. There are always those out there that will never be pleased. One letter I saw on the Site was absolutely hateful. But I'll say it again, Dr. Bittan is brilliant and I recommend him highly. J. Sachs Los Angeles read more

Horrible experience with this "doctor" and his nasty receptionist. I only use alternative healing for myself and want that for my pets too, but this guy I would classify as a quack. I was new to LA and my cat was having a crisis with allergies and asthma. I did not want to go the steroid route conventional vets would take me on so I went to Dr. Bittan. I didn't mind that he was late, but I did mind that he seemed unkempt and out of it and not at all present with me or my pet. He loaded me down with expensive medications and told me that I needed to go get blood drawn and that he would make my cat a serum from his blood, but for some inexplicable reason, would not draw the blood himself and didn't have anyone to do it in the office. This created a real crisis for me because I didn't have a car at the time or know my way around the city. You would think that if he was going to outsource blood draws that his office would have a ready list of places to go for that and a system to facilitate their patients to get the procedure done. But no. As I said, when I asked for assistance with this, his receptionist was quite nasty about it and she also wouldn't let me talk to the doctor again even though I had some pressing and valid questions. Her helpful and caring attitude in making the appointment completely disappeared when I needed help. Long story short, I never got the blood draw or the very expensive serum because the next morning, when my cat's symptoms got worse after giving him the Chinese herbs and other supplements, I called Dr. Bittan and his immediate, unqualified reaction was an alarmed "Take him to the emergency room." Not any kind of reassurance that this could be a healing crisis and that the medicines were working, not any suggestions about what I could try or do, just take him to the emergency room, goodbye. It completely disabused me of any trust I might have had in his expertise when he had so little trust in his treatment. I felt like I'd thrown my money away. And then when my cat didn't get better, I had to take him to a conventional vet after all. read more

Beware! This "doctor" almost killed my cat a few years ago! I came to him for asthma treatment. Didn't want to drugs all the time. He took blood, put it back in and said my kitty would have a "healing crisis." He sure did! Within a few hours, my cat was having the worst asthma attack I'd ever seen--laid out behind the couch gasping for breath. I called the office and they told me to just "wait it out." I called back a few times, pretty hysterical and worried--NO ONE EVEN HAD THE COURTESY TO RETURN MY CALL. I finally took my kitty to an emergency room. read more

Marc Bittan has been my vet for almost 20 years....even before the days he opened his office and traveled to your home in his shiny van. Over that time, I've had three dogs that have received his care....each carefully and individually considered. He's a veterinarian, trained traditionally, whose philosophy is holistic....only employing the use of heavy drugs when absolutely necessary. He treats the cause, not the symptom, is patient, listens well, remembers, is gentle, honest and oh so generous with his time, and he educates his human clients so they have a good understanding of their pet's condition. His facilities are limited in that he does not board sick animals, nor does he do surgery, and that said, he works with referring/well respected vets who can do what he does not. In these 20 years, I've seen a reciprocity between these specialities, which confirms my faith in Marc's ability to diagnose and treat. I can't imagine having a dog without Marc as my vet. read more

My golden retriever was diagnosed with nasal carcinoma. Specialists in the Western medicine world said the tumor was inoperable, chemo wouldn't work for his condition and radiation would give him maybe 6 months. He was only 9 at the time. I googled best holistic vet in L.A. and found Marc Bittan. With his extensive knowledge of Chinese medicine and new advances in holistic medicine from Germany, Rolfe lived a year and a half virtually symptom free. He was happy and healthy while living with the tumor until a few weeks before he passed. Sadly, he developed complications from the tumor and we lost our battle. Dr. Bittan was with us every step of the way. Coming in on his day off when we were having an issue that needed immediate attention and was always, kind, caring, and available to us. He really cares!! Rolfe loved Dr. Bittan. I really can't thank him enough or recommend him highly enough for giving us an additional year and a half with our beloved pet. And his office is unlike any other vet you'll go to. It's like visiting someone's living room. It's super clean, comfortable for you and your pet and smells great! It's a pleasure to go there and again you can't ask for a better, more knowledgeable, caring vet! Thank you, Dr. Bittan. read more

Dr. Bittan has been helping our animals for years. I work for Voice For The Animals Foundation, an animal protection organization (we also do animal rescue), and we have been continually impressed by the amazing healing Marc does for our animals. A few years ago, we had a dog who was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given a bleak prognosis. Marc was able to cure him so that he lived many happy years. It is a huge relief to have a vet like Dr. Bittan who doesn't stay within the narrow confines of traditional western medicine. With his help, our animals have been given more options to a healthy life. read more

Dr. Bittan is amazing! He prescribed some Chinese herbs for my longhair cat who has very frequent hairballs, and the hairballs have decreased dramatically. He has fantastic bedside manner and is very knowledgeable and informative. Great Vet! read more

Since moving to California, my dog has had serious allergies. With Dr. Bittan's help, his allergies have significantly improved. Thank you Dr. Bittan! read more

I was referred to Dr. Bittan almost 3 years ago, with my Frenchie who was in bad shape. My Frenchie, Lily was near the end of conventional western Vet options and nearly catatonic, blind and stumbling when she walked, from a nervous system degenerative disease. After a consultation of reading her medical records then watching her carefully, He suggested adding various herbs and natural supplements which I agreed to try. I have to admit I was a little skeptical since she was so bad when I found Dr. Bittan. The Neurologist who had been treating her prior to this who was a great Vet said the only option left was chemotherapy on her brain, which "might work" as I remember him saying which I think would have slowly killed her and I just couldn't bring myself to put her through that, so I was desperate when I found Dr. Bittan. Well I am happy to say that within a few weeks Lily was so much better, it really was a miracle, she could see better, was alert more and was able to play again. Unbelievably wonderful to see, my little Lily had another chance because of Dr. Bittan, it makes me tear up just thinking about it. I truly am a believer in the power of the right herbs to heal. Dr. Bittan is good at reading what your pet is trying to tell you and He is the best of both east and west medicine for your pet, he is a DVM vet who understands when western medicine is appropriate, as well as a master herbalist in eastern medicine for pets, which He can combine both for powerful results. If it were not for Dr. Bittan, I know for certain my Lily would be dead years ago. I am forever grateful to him! read more

Dr Bittan is amazing and very knowledgeable. His knowledge of holistic remedies has saved the lives of many of our cats. We have had cats that we rescued who had extreme skin conditions (complete hair loss, scabs all over their body, etc) and Dr. Bittan has been able to completely cure them. He is a miracle worker! read more

My cat had horrible allergies, ripping out all her fur and huge sores all over herself from biting and scratching herself since she was a year old. She was up to one shot of cortisone a week at the regular vet and I tried so many other doctors, even the traditional cat allergist. I took her to Dr Bittan over five years ago and he gave her the Isotherapy treatment and she is a completely different cat. He has made her life so much better and she is so much more happy now she doesn't have to tear herself to shreds. Thank you so much!!! read more

BEWARE. Marc may actually cause your beloved pet to live longer and in less pain. He took care of both of my dogs when they got elderly, and were beyond the help of tradional Western Medicine. What's great about Marc is that he's a licensed Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, as well as a skilled Eastern Doctor. He brings the best of both worlds to his practice. I can't say enough to recommend him, and have done so to many friends. Even if your animal is not old and sick, I still encourage you to seek his care as a preventive measure. He gets an A++++! read more

My dog was diagnosed with discoid lupus. He looked like he had a flesh eating disease around his eyes. They were red, raw and bleeding and it was spreading to his face. Vets told me there was no cure for lupus and that my 8 year old German Shephered would have to take steroids for the rest of his life and they could not guarantee that the steroids would work that well. Well, I was desperate and got on the internet and found Dr. Bittan. I took my dog in, and what I liked is that he was very honest about everything. He first put him in herbs which seemed to stop the spreading of the tissue damage. Then he put him on isotherapy where he used his a sample of my dog's blood and a small piece of the damaged tissue from around the eyes. Eight months later, all the pigmentation around the eyes is back and the fur is slowly starting to grow back. He has scar tissue because he has had this disease since Jan. 2009 and Dr. Bittan just started treating him in the beginning of 2012. I am very pleased with the treatment. I know we still have a ways to go for his full recovery. I am so glad that I found Dr. Bittan. Well, that's my story. This is the first reviiew I have ever given for anything, but I thought this would be worth taking the time to do. read more
