Veterinary Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine 90 Pond Meadow Road, Essex, CT 06442

"Kellee and Stephanie are unmatched in their passion for animals and their dedication to creating a comfortable environment for personalized care. We were sick of waiting in rooms for vets to pop in for two minutes and recklessly prescribe Big Pharma drugs without informing us of the side effects. The medical establishment in this country has become a disgrace that no longer serves patients and Veterinary Acupuncture is a much needed antidote to that. They are wonderful people who will take the time to understand what’s really going with your pet and they have done wonders for the health and well-being of our animals. We actually look forward to visiting with them and I can’t imagine going anywhere else."

"Dr. Torlone and Kellee are the dynamic duo that completely turned around the health of our beloved family dog, Dolly. We were dealing with her mystery ailments and reoccurring stomach troubles for months, and once we implemented their helpful advice and insights, we saw dramatic and immediate improvements. This has continued for over a year, and we highly recommend them to anyone who wants the very best care for their animals."

"Dr. Torlone and Kellee are both so wonderful and I’m so happy to have found them. Marley gets so excited to come and he is in the best health he has ever been since diagnosed with cancer. He barely coughs anymore since starting acupuncture and Chinese medicine with Dr. Torlone! Thank you so much for all the treats and toys he gets during every visit! Marley can’t wait to go back in a few weeks."

"Dr. Torlone is amazing! I came in with my 8 year old Pekingese experiencing paralysis in both legs. Due to the high bill for surgery and no pet insurance, I ventured into a holistic method to get my little Luna back at it walking again. Before I visited Dr.Torlone, most of the doctors I saw prior said if I did this without surgery, she probably wouldn’t walk for about 6 months…. and then I met Dr.Torlone. When I first visited came into the practice my dog, Luna, was walking on her 2 front legs and I would use a sling to keep her hind legs up. I came in for a few acupuncture treatments and she also recommended a herbal medication to help with the paralysis. Within a month or so of consistent treatment and medication, Luna began standing and then walking again without my assistance. Now, almost a year later my little Luna is running all over the yard again and begging for treats again. Overall going to this practice saved me thousands of dollars, and Luna was treated like the biggest princess in the world. When I told Luna we were going for a ride during that time, she knew they were for treatments and wouldn’t stop crying till we got there. Dr. Torlone was amazing with my Luna and with the stories she shared, she sounds amazing with all animals. Truly an amazing doctor and I recommend her to anyone needing animal assistance."

"Getting treatment the last 3 months for my 14 year old, advanced heart disease chihuahua has been nothing short of awesome. The transformation and genuine improvement that I've seen after getting consistent treatments has been really wonderful to experience. Angus had started having syncope episodes a few months prior to starting acupuncture sessions with Dr. Torlone. The episodes were happening about every 6 weeks, and even though he was managing fairly well with medications/supplements/diet/regular veterinary care alone, I wanted to add consistent acupuncture to his treatment plan. I am very happy that Angus was able to become a patient, because he has gone over 10 weeks now without collapsing which is already a noticeable change to what we've come to anticipate as a new normal. While Angus is already an easy-going chihuahua, he seems to have a really good time coming to Dr. Torlone's comfortable treatment space, and is so sleepy and relaxed after each visit. Dr. Torlone has done a wonderful job tailoring each visit to what Angus can tolerate, and he has improved with each session. I am so grateful to have such a great veterinary team involved with Angus's continued care. Thank you!"
