This holistic therapy complements traditional medicine, enhancing overall wellness for performance and companion animals. Certified practitioners ensure safe, effective treatment tailored to individual needs.

Dr. Steve saved my Nigerian Dwarf. She was rejected at birth and cold when i found her. I honestly think if he wasn't there then she would not be here today.

I highly recommend Large Animal Medical Associates. Dr. Angelos is our favorite. He is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate and has been a blessing to our goat farm. Life and death on a farm can often be an intricate web of happiness and sadness, and LAMA handles it all with so much professionalism. We are indebted to them for all their kindnesses. From answering my calls and emails, to examinations, to surgery, to euthanasia there isn't ever a detail missed and I am forever grateful.

These people were VERY professional and accommodating over the phone although we never ended up needing their service. If I ever needed them, I'd certainly give them a call.

The best, most personal vets around! LAMA cares about every animal they see at a personal level. We are lucky to have such caring and qualified vets local to us.
