Healing Hope

We’ve been taking our pets to Dr. Hebbler and Healing Hope for years, and she’s proven to be talented, caring and compassionate with us and our pets. Thanks to her recommendations our pups are bright and healthy and happy. If you’re into holistic treatments for your pets, it’s well worth it to consult with Dr. Hebbler to look at avenues you may not have pursued before and to consider the myriad of things you can do to treat existing pet health issues, as well as great practices for helping to prevent them occur! Thanks so much to Dr. Hebbler and her team!

I have been going to Healing Hope for many years now and I can’t recommend them enough! When I found no answers anywhere else, Dr. Hebbler was there to help! Now I’m seeing her to treat my own digestive issues… and it’s working! She’s so thorough, patient, and above all else, compassionate. She really cares about her clients!
On a side note, I was perplexed by Conrad’s review below. That description doesn’t describe Dr. Hebbler at all. And their rates are clearly stated on the website, so there’s never any confusion. As usual, take negative reviews on Unilocal with a grain of salt. :) Many folks take no personal responsibility for their own part in the equation.

Don’t even bother. Charged almost $ 225.00 for a 45 minute phone consultation. Not to say that veterinarians shouldn’t be compensated reasonably but I’ve paid a good bit less than that to see the my own therapist for the same amount of time. In any event, I learned nothing that I didn’t already know. She was more intent on talking and talking and wouldn’t let me hardly get a word in edgewise. When I expressed confusion over the cost she became beyond rude and completely thoughtless.

Dr Hebbler is a very talented and caring vet with so much knowledge and expertise. She is extremely skilled at homeopathy and is very in tune with the animals. She works with an integrative approach, which includes diet, supplements and homeopathics flower essences and more. I trust her 100% with my dogs and value her opinion and treatment plan options.
I have read the reviews of some people who were not happy. Those reviewers do not understand how holistic therapies work, not do they understand the value of this amazing woman. The traditional vets prescribe so many medications which can have many side effects.
I have had all my dogs on a raw food diet for many years and they have all been so healthy, which I believe is largely a result of the excellent diet the are on.
I have a senior pet now and Dr Hebbler is helping us to support her immune system, help with some arthritis and keep her happy.
I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because it can be very frustrating not hearing back from the staff when you leave messages.

Lots of money, her muscle testing contradicted blood work so is she right? Waited very long and saw something horrific going on at her office that was the final straw… be prepared to do raw diet not really an option for our group– she made it clear after spending HUNDREDS that was the only way and if so then why all the other stuff she sold me? Disappointing to say the least. Very money driven, lots of rules, charged by the minute and we still need our regular vet as she is not a regular vet! Lots of promises nothing delivered.

I am extremely unhappy with Healing Hope. I brought our pug, Chuck, to this vet specifically to get an anesthesia free dental cleaning. The website for Healing Hope does NOT say they outsource the teeth cleaning to Qualified Pet Dental. It only states that it is performed by a professional dental hygenist. When I spoke to Healing Hope on the phone to make the appointment, they do not tell you this either. When I was contacted by Healing Hope two days prior to my dog’s appointment (to give them a $ 50 deposit), it was suggested that I also spend an additional $ 35 to have Dr. Hebbler give my dog a dental exam so that if there was additional dental work that needed to be done besides the cleaning, it would be authorized. I agreed just in case there were some bad teeth (pugs are known to have dental issues).
First of all, our dental «exam» with Dr. Hebbler, was a waste of time and money. My dog was a bit squirrley, even with the holistic calming aids and it was difficult for the vet to look in his mouth. Dr. Hebbler proceeded to tell me that my dog should be on a raw diet, doesn’t need yearly vaccines, shouldn’t poop four times a day, and is WAY too thin. As pugs go, he IS quite thin and muscular, but he has been that way since he was a very small puppy. I have had him since six weeks old, we have always given him very high quality kibble, not a lot of people food (except fruit and veggies), and lots of exercise. He also also has a luxating patella, and our regular vet likes us to keep him thin so his knee doesn’t bother him. Our other pug gets the same food and exercise, is not quite as thin, but also has a stockier build. Both dogs are extremely healthy with no breed related health issues.
I listened to Dr. Hebbler tell me that I needed to bring my husband in to discuss switching to a raw food diet. I just wanted to get to the cleaning and get the hell out of there.
As for the teeth cleaning, I was in the waiting room, not even ten feet from where Chuck was getting his teeth cleaned. If there was a problem, the hygenist could have come out to talk to me. Instead, when she was finished, she came out holding two of Chuck’s front bottom teeth (a bit bloodied, too!)!. She told me they were very loose and causing him problems. She kept saying he would be much happier now! I knew that they were loose, and had been for quite some time, and were part of his under bite. I asked if she had used anesthesia and she said no, but it only hurt for a second! What the #^!*&^%!!! I was furious and dumbfounded! Who pulls a dog’s teeth without consulting the owner and without anesthesia??? Before I could go off on the hygenist, the office manager comes up to collect more money from me, and to ask when I want to schedule an appointment for blood work because Dr. Hebbler thinks that Chuck is VERY sick and there is something VERY wrong with him. I explained that he had a full physical in May, by our wonderful vet, Dr, Nancy Bushnell, and he is fine. I told her he had also been to the vet the end of September for urinary tract infection, so the vet had recently seen him. The office manager said, «well, if you want a second opinion… and he should have bloodwork every year». These people are QUACKS. I was so upset, I paid and got out of there as fast as I could. I couldn’t even think straight I was so angry. After I got home and talked to my husband about it, I calmed down a bit. I am still considering legal action. Dr. Hebbler has no idea about my dog, and Qualified Pet Dental should NOT be allowed to clean dog’s teeth. I would give zero stars, but Chuck’s teeth do seem cleaner, so I am giving one. Do NOT use either of these companies for your dog.

So grateful we found Dr. Hebbler! Our little pug Raisin had a horrible reaction to her puppy vaccines, they left her paralyzed and we were at a loss. Her treatments at the neurologist were making her worse. Dr. Hebbler brought her back. She detoxed the vaccines, strengthened her immune system and got us connected with the right physical therapist to get Raisin strong again. I am forever thankful for all she has done for our family. Raisin is a happy, healthy and strong (running and jumping) 4 year old now! :)

Dr. Hebbler has treated 4 of my animals and has done an amazing job! I brought my Westie mix Sunny in and she was very aggressive at first but within 5 minutes of being in Dr. Hebbler’s lap receiving energy work she calmed right down and actually started falling asleep!
Dr. Hebbler ended up making a house call that same night and treated Sunny as if she was her own.
She really brings a calm and loving energy into the practice, which is important when dealing with animals. They truly feed off of this energy and it creates a calm state for them when dealing with usually high stress situations.
I highly recommend Dr. Hebbler! The calming energy and comforting exam room really make all the difference!

I brought in my then 11 year old blue weimeraner (Rocky), who we thought was nearing his end, he couldn’t walk very far and would spend most days in bed. Rocky saw Dr Hebbler and she totally changed his diet and put him on a series of supplements. I’m happy to say that Rocky is going to be celebrating his 14^th birthday in a few months. He is doing great. He gets his daily walks and enjoys sun bathing.

Dr. Hebler and her staff are exactly what I want for my dogs. Natural, caring and excellent with animals and people. We’ve been going for a couple years now and I am entirely confident referring them to anyone.

I wrote to this hospital and left a voicemail telling them about my dog with cancer. They never even bothered to email or respond to me. What an awful way to treat a person going through a terrible time. I heard great things about holistic treatments but I won’t find out through this place!

My experience with Dr. Hebbler has been very frustrating. Available on very limited occasions, very expensive, non-​responsive to e-​mails and telephone calls, and charges you for a telephone call (if you’re lucky enough to get one). Just mail her a check and don’t bother her with your animal’s problems.
The office is very ill run and dirty.
Not a professional group by any means and I’ve never seen the loving heart mentioned by another reviewer. Since she has not responded to 5 recent phone calls and the same number of e-​mails, I fail to see any «caring» in her nature.
Don’t waste your money — or if you do — don’t expect much in return.
Namaste.

Dr. Hebbler has been seeing my dog for 4 years now. She is a well-​qualified veterinarian who is genuinely concerned about the well-​being of all animals. She has help my little dog overcome digestion and colitis issues. Thanks to her, he is happy and healthy. She knows her stuff!

Healing Hope rocks! Dr. Hebbler is a one of a kind veterinarian and healer. I speak from personal experience for my animals and myself. She has opened my eyes to the bigger picture of why our animals are here and their purpose in our lives. She walks the talk and lives the life she asks pet owners to consider, to be open to healing through our animals and to allow our animals guide us on our path. She asks us to ask the tough questions and to consider for a moment the alternatives to what is currently not working. She believes in an integrative approach to our pet’s health and wellbeing and is an advocate for empowerment through education and truth. And in response to the person who wrote the not so kind review; holistic veterinary care is not the same as standard veterinary care and neither is the cost, but consider the cost of kidney disease, malnutrition and cancer. One visit to Dr. Hebbler can literally change the course of your life and most importantly your pet’s. Peace and love people, peace and love.

Have tried contacting this place 3 times via email and once left a phone message. NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME!
I have heard this vet is very, very expensive and really lacks some veterinary skills.
I would stay away — there are better vets that show they care. ESPECIALLY when they don’t return messages!
