Testimonials

Jessica and Baxter

Baxter was facing the possibility of paralysis and being on medication for the foreseeable future. Dr. Joyce offered us the opportunity to try acupuncture in conjunction with modern medicine in hopes that paralysis would not set in and medication would be temporary. Thanks to her Acupuncture treatments and Herbal Medicines Baxter no longer shows signs of impending paralysis and is no longer on any other medications. He’s back to his old self! I am forever grateful to Dr. Joyce and how she helped Baxter and will always be a supporter of Kindred-Canines In Motion (KIM).

Jeanne Crockett

Synergy Intergrative Veterinary Clinic is a gem for pet owners seeking non-traditional appoaches to pet care. Their holistic approach of acupuncuture, thermal imaging, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, has been a game-changer for my senior German Shepherd, Davy. Under Dr. Girardi's expert care, Davy is aging gracefully, and I couldn't be more grateful. I expect to see a pep in his step for years to come. Highly recommend.

Marley May

It was such a pleasure to get a text update on one of our favorite patient and clients. Marley is a 11 yr Female, 75 pound, Labrador Retriever suffering from severe spinal and hip arthritis and limited mobility. She was treated with a systemic and local treatment of an Allogenic Amniotic Allograft to treat her painful arthritis and limited mobility concerns.
Today we got some good news… “My sister came for a visit and the first thing she said when she walked in the door, "Marley looks so good and acts differently". She continued to say this multiple times during her stay!”
