Dr. Kim is an absolute blessing! Our dog Pearl (who is only 3) has had a history of food allergies and many chronic gut issues, and recently got very sick (possible toxicity) which hit her sensitive system extremely hard. Until now, we were struggling to find the right support and guidance especially from a more holistic perspective related to diet and gut support. Dr. Kim has such a wonderful energy about her, and is so patient with our pup who has developed such a fear around veterinary care. She is extremely thorough, knowledgeable and compassionate, and has many tools in her tool belt. Her perspective and experience is so complimentary to western care and I feel incredibly grateful to have her support for Pearl moving forward. She has helped us come up with an individualized plan that includes acupuncture, herbs and finding the right diet. I feel confident that Pearl is going to have the right support to feel her best moving forward, and live a much healthier life because of Dr. Kim. Highly recommend!

Dr. Leticia O'Hara, with Napa Valley Holistic Veterinary Services, has provided acupuncture for our Belgian Malinois, Brewster, for almost four years. Brewster suffers from arthritis and a number of neurological issues. Dr. O'Hara's skill, care, and compassion has made an immeasurable difference in his quality of life, and has given us greater peace of mind in the process. Each of her visits begins with her brief evaluation of him, and she is extremely adept at noting any changes in his condition since his last appointment. This has enabled us to pinpoint any areas of focus for treatment, which immediately helps any discomfort he may have been experiencing. Dr. O'Hara has also been very resourceful in suggesting changes or improvements to his care, and has become a great sounding board as we consider other options to his treatment plan. We greatly value her support and partnership.

I should also mention that Jan, who coordinates scheduling and other support, and Dr. Kim herself, are both wonderful to work with. Jan is always responsive and friendly, and Dr. Kim was a great help in providing us with a personalized nutrition plan for Brewster a couple of years ago, which significantly helped us understand his dietary needs.

I highly recommend NVHVS for any pet who may require holistic therapies beyond what their primary vet may be able to offer.

I was extremely happy with the level of caring for not only helping my precious boxer/pit mix's IVDD and arthritis but also the way Dr O'Hara took the time to really make sure he was comfortable and had a good experience. His first time having acupuncture both he and I were a little bit nervous but she did such a great job and we're excited to see his pain levels and mobility improve as we continue his sessions.

Dr Kim is simply the best. She has made the lives of several of our dogs better, and while doing so made ours better as well. At times of need, when we were anxious and concerned, she has shown great compassion. I think she knows everything! Thank you, Dr Kim.

Our dog Juno was diagnosed with a mast cell tumor late 2021. UC Davis told us that surgery + chemotherapy will extend her life up to 8 months but that this type of cancer would come back.

We reached out to Doctor Kim to seek her advice straight away and see if we could do something to ease her pain, the chemotherapy side effects and if there was something that could be done to extend her life.
Along with supplements and home made food (recipe given by Doctor Kim), our Juno has been in remission since the end of her chemotherapy in April last year. We continue seeing Doctor Kim and the oncologist at UC Davis, and so far she is doing great.

I would more than recommend Doctor Kim for every people that have an animal going through cancer. We've been blessed to work with her and we definitely won't stop! Her kindness and professionalism is fantastic!

First acupuncture session for my 12 1/2 year old golden retriever with Dr O’Hara : Dr O’Hara has such a wonderful calming presence with Auggie . He immediately felt relaxed around her and definitely helped that the sessions takes place at home. Dr O’Hara spent so much time assessing Auggie and his physical exam was so thorough . Auggie had his first treatment and he was so relaxed that he even fell asleep during the 20 minutes of acupuncture. I can’t thank her enough for her calming presence and expertise. Auggie continued to nap after the session was completed . A few hours later he was his normal self, going for his evening walk and dinner. Looking forward to addition treatments and hoping his mobility improves.

Highly recommend Napa Valley Holistic Veterinary Services! Dr. Kim and Dr. O’Hara make an excellent team, very knowledgeable and caring. Our Labrador is 12 1/2 yrs old and the acupuncture and laser treatments greatly improve his mobility, energy level, and overall wellbeing, while reducing/eliminating pain and stiffness. He relaxes calmly during his treatments. We are so glad that our dog’s veterinarian highly recommended this service to help improve our dog’s quality of life.

Dr. Kim is an incredible veterinarian. She takes so much time understanding everything and is very detailed and thorough. She gave us so much time to share our history and needs and was responsive and relational in her approach. We are so grateful we found her, thank you Dr. Kim!
