Healing with Heart: Meet Our Veterinary Team in Oakland, CA
Holistic care works best when it feels personal. At Holistic Veterinary Care, our veterinary team in Oakland, CA takes time to look at the whole picture, from your pet’s symptoms and mobility to their lifestyle, comfort, and long-term needs.
Led by Dr. Gary Richter, our team provides wellness consultations, acupuncture, chiropractic care, rehabilitation therapy, and advanced integrative treatments. We are also home to Oakland’s only dedicated pet rehabilitation center and the Bay Area’s only veterinary hyperbaric oxygen chamber, giving our patients access to treatment options that are difficult to find elsewhere.
We frequently work alongside other veterinarians in the area, adding holistic therapies to a pet’s existing medical plan when that approach makes sense. That collaboration allows us to build care around the individual rather than forcing every pet into the same path.
Just as important, we want this to feel like a place where you can ask questions, feel heard, and know your pet is being treated with genuine attention. Our doctors and staff bring curiosity, experience, and warmth to every visit, with care tailored to the pet in front of us.
Meet the people who make that kind of care possible.
