Our 10-year-old Golden Retriever, Bella, was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic oral melanoma at the beginning of September. After consulting with both our primary veterinarian and an oncologist, we were faced with the difficult reality that advanced cancer treatments were financially out of reach and carried only about a 15% chance of extending her life. Bella was given a prognosis of 1-3 months. Our veterinarian suggested exploring holistic care and referred us to Dr. Haley. From our very first visit, when Dr. Haley came to our home to meet Bella, we felt reassured and supported. She developed a thoughtful treatment plan focused on comfort and well-being, and because of her care, we were blessed with five and a half more months with our girl. Our priority was Bella's quality of life, and that goal was not only met but exceeded. Dr. Haley is professional, kind, punctual, and generous with her knowledge. We will forever be grateful for the compassion and care she showed Bella and our family, and we would recommend her over and over! read more

I don't know where to begin to express my gratitude for the amazing care our 11 year old golden retriever Fiona has received over this past year. Daphne first treated Fiona for her arthritis and hip dysplasia with marked improvement In the next few months Fiona was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma in January 2025 s/p splenectomy. Hemangiosarcoma can virtually be a death sentence. With acupuncture and several supplements, Fiona, has made remarkable strides and not only has her strength improved but it seems the progress of her cancer has slowed. Her spirit is amazing, she plays with our other golden Quinn, gets up and downstairs on her own. Takes a little longer, but she does it! She was actually swimming this summer with no problem. Thank you so much Daphne for your continued care of our beautiful Fiona. read more

I can't say enough about how happy we've been with Dr Daphne. It's truly a blessing to have a vet who makes home visits. We have a couple of senior pets, with medical issues (speedy has severe dry eye, Lexi, kidney disease). Not to mention anxiety about going to the vet. So having a vet meet them on their turf so to speak is everythin! read more

Dr. Daphne is absolutely wonderful. She has helped to care for our two oldest pets, a 16 year old dog with stomach and mobility issues, and a 15 year old cat with congestive heart failure. Her treatment definitely helped both pets and extended their lives, allowing them to live comfortably. Our dog regained mobility after receiving acupuncture treatment from Dr. Daphne. It was amazing to see him get up and walk again with ease after just one treatment. Dr. Daphne is very sweet and caring, she will come to your home which makes things very easy and convenient, especially for pets that are hard to travel with. I cannot recommend her enough. read more

She was great when she didn't cancel appointments, which was often. Be prepared to have a flexible schedule if you work with her. Her acupuncture and Chinese herbs were helpful for my cat that had terminal cancer. read more

We Love Daphne! She gave my senior terrier an extra 1 1/2 years extra to spend with him. He was 15 1/2 years young when I had to let him go. Daphne coming to my home any time I needed her, Holidays and weekends were made things so much easier and stress free then getting him in my car and bringing him to the vets! He received Acupuncture and was prescribed herbs to help him with his liver problem, stroke and other problems going on that senior dogs have. She send me instructions after her visit and I Loved that she went home and thought about her treatment. She is very kind and concerned about your pet! We adopted a stray and had Daphne come over to help her with our new girl too! read more

My cats' health is failing. Given that his doctor of many years suddenly left the practice, and my experience with other vets at that practice left a lot to be desired, I sought out Dr. Daphne who was not available by telephone. Weeks after my first email attempt to schedule with her, she finally replied that she is a mobile vet and asked where we live. In my reply I briefly described my cat's medical condition. Dr. Daphne replied that she was on vacation, had been since I first attempted to contact her, and, ultimately, that she could not see my cat for another week. She then made lame excuses that indicated to me that she is not a serious medical professional. How I regret waiting for unprofessional Dr. Daphne to disappoint. read more

Dr. Haley is an incredible human being and I am very lucky and honored to have her as my cats holistic veterinarian. When Fluffy was diagnosed with GI lymphoma I was devastated. I've always been interested in holistic medicine for myself, as well as my pets, so when our regular veterinarian told us that at his old age chemotherapy might be too hard on him, and due to tumor location and other factors, surgery was too risky, we opted to treat him with holistic medicine. If he was able to receive chemo, we probably would have done a multi step approach and complimented his "Western" medicine with holistic medicine and acupuncture as well, still, but in our case holistic was our only option. That being the case, I am SO glad we found Dr. Haley. I could not have asked for a kinder, gentler, sweeter, or more caring veterinarian to treat him. Honestly, I was skeptical at first. Again, I do believe in holistic medicine and natural treatments but in cases like cancer, I always believed that was one thing you should never try to treat with holistic medicine alone. So I was really sad thinking that we would be basically just "keeping him comfortable" with the acupuncture and herbs and that it wouldn't be an actual "treatment" but I was quite wrong. Dr. Haley has actual herbal medications that literally attack tumors and strengthen the immune system to actually help TREAT the cancer, not just make the animal feel better (though they DO feel better on her medicines and with her acupuncture!) this treatment as opposed to how Western medicine attacks the tumors by lowering the immune system, you know, wiping everything good out along with the bad. I'm not saying that everyone should say no to chemotherapy. Not at all. Particularly in younger animals and ones with very treatable cancers known to respond well to chemo, it is a viable option. But if your pet has cancer I'd highly recommend seeing Dr. Haley even if you go the route of chemo she can do acupuncture to help them "bounce back" and combat the negative side effects of chemo. If you don't choose chemo she has herbal medicine that have very little, if any, side effects, and in our case increased Fluffys energy and helped him feel much, much better. We are even seeing some tumor shrinkage on the herbal meds. Also I researched some of the medicine she gave us and there are a few studies, not many since it is holistic and there aren't many studies on them, but the few legit studies I read showed very real, positive results, so none of it is "snake oil" I can promise. Any way, this review is getting long, but I just want to say that it is truly a blessing having such a fantastic veterinarian and having a much happier, healthier cat who is definitely going to live longer because of Dr. Haley and that, to me, is priceless. Oh and she always talks about how she loves her clients so much, and can talk at length about how awesome this cat or that dog is. You can tell she's a genuine animal lover and not just in it for the money. Which is a big deal to me. Because the best medical care in the world is useless if you hate your doctor, right? Good thing we absolutely love ours! Absolutely recommend 200%! read more

My cat has been seriously ill since 2010 when he went into hospital and they found he had Inflammatory Bowel Disease, kidney disease and thyroid issues. I had been to different vets for years previously to find out why he was vomiting so much and nobody helped. The doctors at the hospital cut him open, then closed him up and told me he needed to take steroids, eat special foods which only they sold at a ridiculous price and said he probably had a year. Thank heavens I found Dr. Haley. She has been treating my cat since and he doesn't vomit anymore, he looks amazing and has a fantastic quality of life eating well but not that hospital food. I don't hesitate in recommending her but please don't be like me and wait until hospitalization - she was my last resort, but should have been my first long before. Dr. Haley is amazing and even my cat likes her... and he likes no-body except me! read more
