First, we must talk to our pet parents..
As a pet parent, you play a vital role in delivering important information from as far back as you can remember in your pets life. From where your pet was originally obtained, to the order of birth and weeks after, to the first year of life and everything leading up to the point of illness…this is all valuable information to formulate a treatment plan.
Therefore, a holistic approach will include a thorough examination of the physical body, emotional state as well as behavioral and environmental impacts on your pet. This detailed information is crucial to understand your pet in totality.
After spending valuable time understanding your pets comprehensive medical history, it is important to evaluate the body in its state upon presentation. This includes but is not limited to:
A thorough physical exam including both Conventional diagnoses as well as Traditional Chinese Medical diagnoses.
Comprehensive lab work including a Minimum Data base, Thyroid function, Vitamin panels, Inflammatory markers, Heavy metal screening, Toxin panels, Microbiome analysis and much more.
Ultrasound
Echocardiography
Radiographs

Preparation for your visit
For Integrative appointments & integrative oncology appointments, our team takes time going through history, speaking with owners at least 1 week prior, and curating a plan for your visit. Normally, integrative appointments more new patients range for anywhere from 1 hour to 2.5 hours based on the severity of the chief complaint. During your appointment you will receive a variety of resources based on Dr. Brown’s knowledge and recommendations.
After each appointment, our team members will create an appointment summary, and it will be emailed to you within 24-48 hours. Email is the best and most effective way of communication between Dr. Brown and clients.
To help us reserve this time for you and your pet, a non-refundable preparation fee for integrative oncology is taken upon booking.
