at first we had a man, but then we switched to the holistic vet in the same clinic, and she is a woman. she is great, she has her own office in the basment while the other vets have to share, because she has all her holistic meds and such and does accupuncture and such. she lets the animals run around her office and explores and makes friends with them before she does anything, she takes the time to talk and explain everything etc.. she is an award winning holistic vet and does seminars and such, needless to say she is a bit expensive but she is the only vet we trust with our animals.
