Quick information
About Healing Paws Center
Healing Paws Center is a veterinary practice in Ft. Lauderdale, FL (Fort Lauderdale area) that lists acupuncture, rehabilitation, cold laser therapy and Chinese herbal medicine for dogs, cats and small exotics (by request).
According to the practice, Healing Paws Center was established in 2017 and is a dedicated integrative and rehabilitation-focused veterinary practice in the Fort Lauderdale / Wilton Manors area.
According to the practice, the practice was founded when the founding veterinarian's own dog, Duke, developed a rare condition that prompted her to explore integrative medicine as a path forward. That personal experience shaped the clinic's whole-pet philosophy and its emphasis on combining Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) with modern rehabilitation techniques.
The practice also coordinates with each pet's primary care veterinarian when necessary, so treatment plans remain aligned with the pet's overall medical care.
