Edwards Kristin DVM

"I had a Jack Russell over 10 years ago who had colitis, diagnosed at 6 months of age. Dr Edwards treated her successfully, so much so that her colitis healed and she did not need to be on any special food or medicines and live to be 13 years old, dying of congestive heart failure. Now I have a 3 year old who has back tightness, rescued at 12 weeks and no injury reported when I rescued him.. he turned 3 years old he turned 3 years old in August and Dr Edwards has helped his back problem, even suggesting I might take him to a chiropractic vet. He gets relief from Dr Edwards who is a wonderful veterinarian who does acupuncture and has a full clinic of patients wherever she travels. She is wonderful with the animals she works with."

"Dr. Edwards is compassionate (with patients and caregivers), thorough, and detail-oriented, always seeking the best outcome for a quality life of the pet. When it was suggested I try acupuncture for my 11 year-old border collie who had lost much of her stamina and had difficulty getting up (forget about chasing her beloved Frisbees), I took her to Dr. Edwards for acupuncture. After the initial visit, my dog was again lively, playful, and able to stand without difficulty. I returned for another visit or two just to be sure, and 2 years later my dog is still able to stand on her own and chase Frisbees! I would like to add that due to Dr. Edwards dedication, insight, and plain old "caring," she recently suggested my dog's symptoms might not be old age but instead early stage renal disease which can be treated if caught early. Thankfully, we had the test done and are now on a protocol that we hope will keep my best friend feeling AOK until the time we need to part. Your pets can't talk to you but Dr. Edwards has the experience, education and innate gift to understand what is troubling them and successfully treat them. If you love your pet as much as it loves you, and it hasn't been feeling well, I'd suggest giving it the gift of a possible new lease on life by making an appointment with Dr. Edwards. My dog is sure happy I did and so am I."

"During our 1st visit, Dr. Edwards performed acupuncture on our otherwise healthy 9 yr old Boxer whose back legs and hind end had been deteriorating for the past year due to arthritis and suspected degenerative myelopathy (DM) (DNA tests pending.) I was referred to her by a family member who'd had her do chiropractic work for their horse. Dr. Edwards was quite proactive knowing the situation & actually called me to let me know she had hours at a vet's office close to my home in Montrose 1x per month so I could schedule an appointment sooner. She was extremely professional, courteous, compassionate & knowledgeable. Her bed-side manner, if you will, is positive & reassuring yet she is honest and fully transparent. This was my first time using an acupuncturist & not only was it a wonderfully positive experience, it yielded terrific results as well. It is yet to be seen as to how long the results will last or what frequency the visits will need to be in order to maintain the them. The irrefutable fact is that upon returning home from our visit, our dog got out of the car & walked up the steps by herself. This was the first time she had walked up the steps without falling or without help in over 6 months. That being said, I will definitely be returning to Dr. Edwards for subsequent visits and am anxious to see if what remaining ailments my dog does have will also be eradicated. As a responsible & loving owner of 3 Boxers and an AKC registered breeder, I highly recommend Dr. Edwards and also, acupuncture to anyone who might be skeptical."
