I’ve had an increasingly difficult time finding a vet I felt I meshed with. In the past 5 years I’ve become more educated in nutrition and alternative care and most traditional vets are about pushing medication and terrible kibble - so vets who continued education after vet school and who enjoy alternative medicine are harder to find.
That being said, after my first visit with Dr. Buchoff at Longevity, I finally felt happy and knew that I found my new vet. Their facility is IMMACULATE, their technology is top notch (they offer services like acupuncture, chiro, light therapy, stem cell therapy, non anesthetic dentistry, reiki, oxygen therapy, etc), they do surgeries in a beautiful surgery center, they treat exotic animals, and… they’re not owned by corporate or private equity.
Dr. Buchoff actually spent time with us and I never felt rushed, unheard, or dismissed. I work VERY hard to do (what I consider) to be the best for my dogs, and I was so happy I found a professional who saw that, and encouraged good nutrition and didn’t push over vaccination and unnecessary medication.
Having a vet who offers traditional AND alternative medicine, in my opinion, is the best you can ask for. If you’re reading this bc you’re thinking about either changing your current vet, or looking for one for a new dog, I HIGHLY suggest you stop after this and make an appointment. I promise, coming from a person with high standards when it comes to my vet, you will not be disappointed.
