Marilyn M Maler, DVM

Philosophy

I believe the best choice of treatment for any animal is the one that works best on that day, is the least invasive and has the least side effects. Professionally, I now only practice Animal Chiropractic and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), including acupuncture and herbal medicine. But, after several years in general practice I have a solid foundation in traditional veterinary medicine and feel integrating Western and holistic approaches is often the best medicine. I am dedicated to lifelong continuing education on these and related topics.
