A note from Dr. Miller:

After seeing first hand how Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine helped my own senior dog Murphy years ago, I set out to become certified so my patients could benefit from the amazing world of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine. 

I am dedicated to improving and extending the quality of life of your pet as if they were my own. I have found that the most comfortable setting is for them to be in their own home so that is why I will come to you! 

Reviews

  • I cannot recommend Dr. Miller enough! We travel almost 2 hours round trip to see her. My cat was experiencing chronic GI issues for half a year with no end in sight. After months of vet visits, tests, medication, and RX food trials, an internist recommended surgery for an intestinal biopsy. We were concerned about moving forward with an invasive procedure only to hear “maybe it’s something else..”, so we decided to go the holistic route and try acupuncture first. Well, I’m glad I did because my cat has not had a single episode since starting acupuncture and the herbal meds, we’ve only had 3 sessions so far, and that can’t be coincidence. Dr. Miller is amazing with her technique and her approach towards treatment (eastern or otherwise) is 100% in the best interest of her patients.

  • Kristen has been so wonderful in helping my dog with his neck pain. Working with her has been so beneficial to his health. She has been treating him with acupuncture, cold laser therapy and manual manipulation. He always seems to feel SO MUCH better after a session with her, appearing significantly more relaxed and able to move more freely without flinching. She has a very caring and comforting presence that has helped him to build a trusting relationship with her. We are so thankful to receive her help!

  • Dr. Kristen Miller started as a valued dogsitter for our canines since her high school years. We loved her attention to our 1, 2 and finally 3 dogs while we were away. We always knew our previous pups had the best of care. Then we got the great news that Kristen was going to veterinary school. She has continued to be an indispensable member of our veterinary team taking care of our 14+ years golden retriever. We couldn't be without her compassionate care and expertise in herbal treatments and acupuncture. She has given us invaluable advice over the years.

  • Truly amazing. Our new vet had recommended Dr Kristen's services, after seeing that our elderly kitty had pretty severe arthritis in her hind legs. We were skeptical at first, since we've never really even tried acupuncture for ourselves, but wanted to give a fair try for our cat and we're so pleased with the results so far. We're so happy to see our cat more energized again. She also seems to really LOVE the acupuncture sessions (she literally purrs the whole time she has the needles on her), maybe because she understands it's helping her feel better? Needless to say, Dr Kristen has been so integral to our elder cat's health and needs. She's also so lovely as a person, and am so happy we were able to find her and support her business :) highly recommend!

  • Dr. Kristen has been treating my Frenchie, Munchie, for a few months now. She has some back concerns and had a hernia years ago when she was just a puppy. Dr. Kristen’s acupuncture has overall improved Munchies health and Munchie is so excited when she comes over! 5 stars!

  • Our Oliver is a 13 year old Westie. He has always had a little trouble with his back legs. Three months ago, he started having back problems. He saw Dr. Kristen Miller and had his first acupuncture treatment. I was amazed by the improvement of one treatment! Dr. Miller has recommended Chinese herbs for pain and a natural arthritis pain reliever. Oliver is doing so well! Dr. Miller is kind, caring and wonderful with Oliver. I am so thankful that we found her!

  • Dr. Kristen has been a life saver! She has been regularly treating my 10 year old, Shichon, Dollie for 4 months now. Her knowledge and skills in traditional acupuncture, laser, herbal medicines and beyond, have dramatically helped Dollies weak aging legs. Prior to treatments with Dr. Kristen, Dollie started limping/showing leg weakness everyday in normal, casual walking around our home. Her vet of course then prescibded NSAIDS, based on her diagnosis of normal 10 year old dog arthritis, but, I didn't want to treat her little 10 pound body with them everyday. Miraculously, and in a desperate state for an alternative, I came across Dr. Kristen and read her phenomenal reviews. Dollie and I couldn't be more grateful. Dr. Kristen always arrives on time, and is very flexible with my busy schedule. Dollie has shown tremendous progress, and her limping and weakness is down to once every 3 weeks or so, without any prescribed medication at all. This is a huge difference from Dollies prior everyday limp and pain. Thank you Doctor for improving Dollies quality of life 🙏 5 stars!

  • After recently finding out our beloved 13 year old dog, has a mass in his lung along with other growths on his spleen, we found Dr Kristen Miller. Dr Miller’s compassionate approach, along with her knowledge of alternative treatments has been a Godsend for all of us. Our dog has responded remarkably well to the acupuncture treatments and herbs. Seeing him with more energy and playful has given us hope that he can have a really good quality of life even as with this illness. Grateful to have found Dr Miller.

  • Dr. Miller’s acupuncture services have been life altering for our 8 year old, 50lb beagle mix. After two CCL surgeries in two years our dog Parker was still showing signs of pain in his right hind leg. Unfortunately the surgeries seemed to make his pain worse. Right before we found Dr. Miller and veterinary acupuncture, he was not using his affected leg at all, had severe muscle loss, and was in constant visible distress from his pain. After just 4 weeks of acupuncture and herbs prescribed by Dr. Miller, Parker is fully using his leg, is gaining back his leg muscle, and is much happier and youthful in spirit. We could not be happier with these results and are so grateful with Dr. Miller’s services and advice. She is professional, kind, and great with Parker- he greets her enthusiastically each week when she arrives. To anyone considering acupuncture for their pet we highly recommend reaching out to Dr. Miller!

  • Dr. Kristen Miller is a gifted and caring vet and vet acupuncturist. She treated our pup Luna who was battling Lymphoma and also knee issues. After her bi-weekly treatments with Dr. Kristen, Luna was happier and healthier. The treatments helped to maintain her general health. Occasionally Luna needed some extra attention and Kristen performed Reiki on her too. Dr. Miller is also knowledgeable with Conventional medicine as well as Chinese herbs and natural supplements that can help treat other ailments. She has a very gentle way about her that is comforting to both humans and our pets. I would highly recommend her!

  • Dr. Kristin's approach to treating my Tucker is an amazing experience. He had been suffering from joint problems, an inability to jump, and in constant pain. With her acupuncture technique and holistic medicine he has responded beautifully. He is different fur-baby who no longer suffers. I am not sure 5 stars truly suffice.

  • I can’t even put into words how much Dr. Miller helped my girl Penny. I tell everyone that she is the reason that my girl was comfortable and enjoying her retirement home. Recently I had to put my 13 1/2 shepherd mix down. She had terrible arthritis and had trouble walking and going down the stairs. Dr. Miller did acupuncture and new medications. Her last few months were filled with playtime in the backyard and being able to go on short walks again. I thank Dr. Miller everyday for the time she put in with her because I know she kept her going in her last few months.

  • Dr Miller is kind, caring and capable. She has connected with my dog energetically for Reiki Healing and helped him with integrative veterinary medicine as well. Mickey loves Dr Miller and so do we !

  • My dog Jake has been receiving acupuncture for over a year now and is benefiting greatly from it. It relaxes him, improves his mobility and he gets excited for his visits with Dr. Miller. So glad we gave this a try and so happy with the results!

  • Dr. Kristen Miller helped our bunny get better after his spine injury. He keeps getting better with every treatment. We're truly happy that we found her.

    Vlad Chebo

  • Dr. Kristen is incredible. She’s been so helpful and supportive through my kitty’s cancer journey. She’s worth every single penny. I’ve definitely noticed a difference in my cat’s demeanor, energy, and well-being after an acupuncture session. Dr. Kristen has also prescribed herbal supplements to augment his treatment which have been a huge help. Go book with her now!
