She believes in both, each complimenting and supporting the other. That's what I wanted and need for my best friend and little boy, Trooper. On top of that, she is happy to work with a patients' regular Vet and studies their medical records thoroughly. She has a gentle, caring manner and spends the time to fully explain her analysis, opinions and reasons for her recommendations. Dr Barotz has a 360 degree approach and the education, knowledge and experience to carry it out. I am so very happy to have her at our side through what is a very tough time. My Trooper has liver cancer. Thanks to her, I have a much better understanding of how I can give Trooper's body more support and comfort, as well as other options I might have for his care. I wish I had known her when I first adopted Trooper 11 years ago, through sickness AND health. I think we can take better care of our little friends with her full approach.

A frustrating thing about being a dog parent in NY is, the boroughs and Long Island are full of organic, wholistic, integrative options for humans. From integrative wellness centers (usually unaffordable), to organic restaurants, organic coffee, wine, cotton, and yoga - there's plenty of wholistic/ integrative options for humans, and almost none for our animal friends. Seems like every veterinarian, even if they offer acupuncture, all operate on the same protocols, the same narrow areas of knowledge where they don't see the body as an interconnected system. It's a relief to know the folks at Williston Park Animal Hospital, to finally have a vet who offers things beyond the usual tweak-one-thing-but-worsen-another paradigm of allopathic medicine. 99% of vets should all have the same advertisement, at best - A comfortable waiting area, a team of people who genuinely love animals, but have such a narrow knowledge base that they may as well be interchangeable cogs in a machine, all offering the same things - that's how medical schools churn out graduates, however well meaning. Dr Hardoon knows about herbal medicine, noninvasive therapies, takes her time and answers my too-many questions. Their prices are challenging (if they offer a foot soak, ask the cost before agreeing!), but cheaper vets who have a smaller, more toxic toolbox end up costing more. On multiple occasions, I asked Dr Hardoon about additional testing, just in case, and when she could have pushed more things that resulted in a higher bill, she explained why she didn't think the additional testing was necessary. As my baby is getting older, there is huge peace of mind in knowing a vet who thinks wholistically and respects choices.

I was first introduced to Liz through a mutual friend. She gave me tools through patience, guidance…read moreand demonstration to care for my cat Fred and bring him to a full recovery. She allowed me to have many more years (he lived for 20) with my beloved furry companion. Now many years later she has helped me once again with a dog I inherited named Luna. She is a 7 yr old Chihuahua mix who suddenly started to suffer seizures, and became very wobbly and twitchy. Within the first couple of days the symptoms appeared we brought her to 2 different vet practices. They both drew the same conclusions of neurological issues (after ruling out toxins, injury, and tick borne diseases), but could not give a definitive answer without pricey diagnostics. So we started to medicate for one possible issue at a time to see which one would work (or not work) so we could rule out as we went along. In the meantime I contacted Liz looking for some guidance. I had a conversation explaining symptoms as well as sending her short videos during different activities. Immediately she recognized the involuntary movements, Luna was most likely suffering from cerebella ataxia. This made total sense to me as I have worked with cats that lived with feline cerebellar hypoplasia. Liz gave me a list of herbals for specific symptoms. Knowing I have some experience with natural medicines, she told me to "play with them" until I hit the right combination. I will not lie, I was reluctant to stop Luna's prescription from the vet as the pills seemed to be working; even though it was explained to me how the side effects may be preventing her from improving to the full extent. Then it happened, I accidentally dosed Luna twice one evening with her prescription meds. Luckily there was no harm done, but it was scary...and just the catalyst I needed to make the switch. Even though the first 2 nights she seemed to regress, I trust Liz. I told myself what I always told my customers, give it time. By the end of the 1st week, I started to see improvement. Over the past month I have tweaked her herbals (sometimes accidentally), and she is a completely different dog. She has not had a seiziure, nor does she twitch or wobble like she did a few weeks ago. She is now capable of eating, playing, walking on a leash and going to the bathroom like she did before the big seizures occurred and major symptoms appeared. Liz worked her magic once again...I used to trust Liz, now I have straight up faith in her!
