Center for Integrative Animal Medicine

Dr. Yamate and her staff are simply the best! Having lived all over the country, I can say with 100% certainty that she is one of the best, gifted and kindest practitioners. My girl isn’t an easy case either. You and your animals will forever be thankful for the treatment she provides.

My now 10 yr old English massive was having problems with the hip dysplasia the first visit. She was nervous after that she couldn't wait to go in. They're absolutely amazing. She went from struggling to go up the stairs to running up the stairs and running down the street on our walks. It was absolutely the most beautiful thing ever highly highly recommend to any pet owner.

Our cat was experiencing weekly bouts of severe vomiting and diarrhea. Our western vet wasn't sure what was wrong (suspected kidney disease and pancreatitis), and we aren't willing to put our kitty through invasive testing at her age (~16). We decided to make her as comfortable as possible until the bad days outnumbered the good, and then a friend recommended CIAM. We figured we'd give it a shot. That was about a year and a half ago, and I'm convinced Dr. Yamate saved our girl. We administer the prescribed supplements with food; it felt like a lot at first, and our cat can be picky, but we figured out what treats worked and fell into a routine. After a couple of consistent weeks, our cat's "episodes" became far less severe. After a few months, they became more spread out, and as I write this review, she hasn't had one at all for five months! We went from planning our goodbyes to almost having a kitten again, and I could not be more grateful. 5+ stars!

We brought our beloved dog Basil here for acupuncture and holistic care when he was diagnosed with lung cancer. Due to the nature and location of his cancer, other treatment options were not available to him and we were hoping to make his remaining time with us as happy and healthy as possible. We wanted to give him as many good days as we could. We could not have asked for better care or kinder care givers. Basil was always anxious and scared at the vet, but not at CIAM. I could tell he felt safe and relaxed with Dr. Yamate and at peace in the office. They gave him their very best for his last few months. And when it was time to say goodbye, not only did Dr. Yamate take my personal phone calls after hours to walk me through the painful process, but she helped us decide when he was no longer well enough to continue at home under our care. I will be forever grateful that we got to bring him to a place where he was loved and felt at peace for his final moments. It was evident how much every staff member loved our dog, even though we were only with them for a short time. He was so cared for, and we were so cared for through every step of the process. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for holding me and my family through this experience. Dr. Yamate is an absolute gem and we wholeheartedly recommend this practice to everybody.

The results of laser acupuncture, needle acupuncture, and chiropractic care are incredible! This is true for people and animals. Dr. Yamate and Dr. Stevens are fantastic. The staff at CIAM is knowledgeable and very kind. They truly care about your pet's well being and health.

Our ancient and medically complicated animals have been benefited infinitely by Dr. Yamate’s amazing counsel! Could not possibly recommend them more!!

It's about time I wrote a review for Dr. Yamate and Candace. It's been over 2.5 years since I took my boxer Chief in. He has just had an emergency surgery, had been diagnosed with blood cancer...oh, and he was given 3 months to live. Dr. Yamate was phenomenal. I was just getting ready to move to Texas and had no idea what to do. She gave me a list of approved foods to start cooking for my Chief, and made a blend herbs and supplements tailored to him and even recommended similar vets to go to that live out in Texas. During the next year, they sent me his medicine when I had ran out and were always happy to answer any questions I had about which shots to give him, or what to do about heartworm, flea and tick prevention...or really anything. I still send them pictures of Chief and my parents still stop in to pick up their all-natural treats for him. They still remember and ask about his progress and truly care about him. I'm so incredibly grateful to Candace and Dr. Yamate.
