At no other vet's office has my dog been so relaxed. Hence, I'm relaxed. Lisa Pesch, DVM listens well and communicates clearly and succinctly. Glad I found this place!

Dog whisperer and now cat whisperer. Dr. Marinho is a gift. It started with our Bernese Mountain Dog. He was beginning to have frequent neck pain. It was painful to watch him. He is 10.5 years old. So that is awesome for a Berner. His regular vet put him on Gabapentin daily which takes a toll on a dog’s liver/kidneys. I refused to give him daily. Since Sterling has been seeing Dr. Marinho for acupuncture and taking muscle and neck supplements, he’s like a 2 year old. He has not shown any neck/spine discomfort for months. On his walks, people ask if he’s two. Now our Ragdoll cat is 12.5 years old and got very sick. So is it hyperthyroidism, IBS, or lymphoma? So now Dr. Marinho is treating him as well. We now started acupuncture and supplements on him. She is so knowledgeable, patient, and kind. She is a delightful partner in figuring out the best options for my senior guys. I’m grateful for Dr. Marinho. Selfishly with all the kudos, I fear she’ll get even busier. Oh well, she is amazing. With thanks, Kimberly 12/29/2022

We love Dr. Lisa Pesch! She consistently goes above and beyond and provides knowledgeable, compassionate care. She takes her time to really listen and get a comprehensive idea of the issues at hand. All of my questions and concerns are thoroughly addressed and I always leave feeling positive. I also love the homey, laid back atmosphere in the office. My usually reserved and anxious Poodle is always willing and happy to come here. Needless to say, we will continue to see Dr. Pesch for our homeopathic needs as she has our complete trust and confidence!

A big thank you to Dr Lisa Pesch for all the support and care that she gave to Oliver, my cat, in his lasts days. Her office is cozy, comfortable and designed to calm your pet. Dr Pesch is a trained veterinarian that also has trained in alternative animal medicine. Her love for animals shines through.

My dog and I had our first appointment with Dr. Ilsi Medearis today. Overall it was a great experience! I can already tell my dog is in good hands here. They are a holistic vet practice located in Rhonert Park. I am new to town, just moved to Santa Rosa and was nervous about finding a TCVM doc for my pooch. My dog has food/skin/allergy issues and had been seeing a holistic vet in our old city. I am happy I found this place! My dog had a general first time wellness exam today, she got weighed, a physical examination, eyes / ears checked, medical / general history reviewed. The doc and her assistant were both really good at handling my dog while doing not-so-pleasant things, so much so that they were able to draw blood (heartworm check) and do the rear-end temperature / gland check without issue. Super impressed. They gave my dog all the same / similar supplements she needs for daily maintenance and sent me on my way. I'd recommend them to anyone. Dr. Medearis was very thorough, thoughtful and caring - and the vet tech / assistant was too (I think her name was Kelly). The vet even sent a follow up email with notes on our appointment which is very helpful!

I took my puppy in for an initial visit and I was very impressed with the time and passion that Dr. Marino provided to thoroughly answer all of my questions.
