What recent reviews say

Dr. Jen Tucci and her team use acupuncture, manipulation, laser, and rehabilitation to help dogs and cats recover from injury and manage chronic pain. Owners report dramatic improvements in mobility and quality of life, even in cases other vets said couldn't improve. Anxious animals become calm here, and the office feels welcoming rather than clinical.

Praised for
  • Dr. Tucci's skill with rehabilitation and pain management
  • Gentle, low-stress handling; anxious animals relax there
  • Knowledgeable and attentive; listens and explains thoroughly
  • Clean facility with a calm, non-clinical atmosphere

Can Dr. Tucci help my dog if another vet said recovery wasn't possible?
Multiple owners report their dogs recovered mobility after other vets said it was unlikely. One dog paralyzed after spinal surgery regained the ability to walk; another with back-end injury others couldn't diagnose improved significantly after acupuncture and chiropractic.
Is this clinic suitable for anxious pets?

What services does the clinic offer?
According to their website: acupuncture, chiropractic (medical manipulation), massage, cold laser therapy, physical therapy, and shockwave treatment. Dr. Tucci also offers herbal medicine.

Most visits go smoothly: Dr. Bob and staff (Dana, Natalie) build trust through attentive exams and fair pricing. But two detailed negative reviews describe critical lapses: blood work results not explained before surgery, early kidney disease warning signs missed across multiple visits, and emergency care advice limited to expensive referrals. Front desk interactions also cited as dismissive and unwelcoming.

Staff and vets treat anxious and senior pets with genuine care, explaining options plainly and taking time with nervous animals. Reviewers credit Dr. Parker, Dr. Sylvia Berns, Dr. Bryan and staff like Kortnee and Allyssa for reducing pet stress and delivering felt competence. Prices often beat expectations, though phone estimates may differ sharply from in-person assessments. Their weekend and extended hours fit urgent situations. Many highlight how they detail treatment plans upfront and let you decide without pressure. Dental, surgery, and emergency visits all drew specific praise. One reviewer raised concern about a pricing gap between phone quote (600-1000 dollars) and in-office estimate (2300-4200 dollars) for tooth extraction.
