Holistic Alternatives Veterinary Care

We were fortunate enough to find Dr. Lynda Wells after our dog Honeybear was unfortunately diagnosed with aggressive T-​cell lymphoma. Simply put, she is one of the best vets we have ever encountered.
We wanted to create a team to help us through this process. We combined our chemotherapy treatment with her alternative treatment to give Honeybear the best chance of living a happy and healthy life. She was very adamant that chemotherapy was the best treatment with the best results for longevity of his life, but the harmful effects of chemotherapy should be combined with alternative treatment to create the best possible outcome.
She provided one of the most thorough examinations on our dog and looked at many things other vets missed. She also spent more time with our dog than any veterinarian we have encountered.
Her treatment used a variety of different modalities that included homeopathy, acupuncture, chiropractic, and laser treatments. Our dog was able to live a happy and healthy life for the rest of his time on earth thanks to our team, but we feel Dr. Lynda Wells played a huge role in that process. We cannot thank her enough for all her help and support through this difficult time in our lives.
We would give 10 stars if we could.
Thank you Dr. Wells!

Saved my cat when the other vets wanted to put her to sleep. Awesome Vet!!!

A vet in Gilroy told us that our cat had a Mast Cell Tumor that could not be successfully removed and recommended chemotherapy, even though the vet also said our cat would be lucky to live 6 more months with the chemo. Between the fact that chemo didn’t sound like we’d be doing our part to ensure the best quality of life for his time left (it would have made him even more sick by killing the good with the bad), and the fact that I would always get a second opinion for myself, I set out in search of a second opinion for him as well. I personally seek a balance of Western and Eastern medicine for my our health care, so I decided to give the same approach a try for him. I figured there was nothing to loose, since Western medicine had already said he was a lost cause. After much research into holistic vets, I came across Dr Lynda Wells. And thank God for that! So far, we and our cat have enjoyed an additional year and a half of wonderful time together. While our cat does not like the drive from Gilroy to Aptos, we fortunately don’t have to go very often and he’s always amazingly calm on the drive home, compared to the drive there. I contribute that calmness to Dr Well’s calming nature and the acupuncture. Yes, he let’s her stick needles in him! Her knowledge of Chinese Medicine and herbs has kept him a very happy and healthy kitty. It hasn’t been a cure, but it’s been close enough and we are thankful for every extra day we have with him. And thankful for doctors like Dr Wells.
Note that Dr Wells does not perform all routine, traditional vet services. We work in tandem with the other vet in Gilroy when we need things like imaging, blood work and what not. But I feel it’s worth the extra effort and go between to ensure our beloved kitty has the best possible health care, and that comes from Dr Wells.
