MEET DR. JESSI TURNER

Dr. Jessi Turner DVM, CVA

INTEGRATIVE VETERINARIAN

Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist

I'm genuinely thrilled to be a part of your journey to ensure you and your pets enjoy long, happy lives together! I’m not only a veterinarian who has spent over a decade providing integrative veterinary care for pets, I’m an animal lover, passionate about sharing my expertise and supporting you by treating your pet as if they were my own.


I specialize in traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM), acupuncture, and photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) [also known as light/laser therapy] for companion animals, including dogs and cats. I have achieved incredible patient outcomes using these modalities and wholeheartedly trust that your pet can have a better quality of life because of these specialty treatments.

VESPER AND ME OUT FOR A WALK

I’m a proud pet parent of a Working Kelpie named Vesper. My previous dog, Chloei, was a big part of why I pursued a career in integrative veterinary medicine. In my free time, I love spending time with my partner Ben, working with Vesper on herding and nose work, being outside, hiking, dancing, reading, and playing Dungeons & Dragons and tabletop games.

Things I support:

Western Veterinary Medicine


As a specialist, I have additional training beyond my veterinary degree and provide  services not offered by most primary veterinarians. While I am not a replacement for their services, my services complement your pet’s regular veterinary visits. 


Treating Early


Addressing concerns early results in smoother, less expensive, and more effective treatment in the long run, ultimately ensuring your pet's health and well-being for years to come.


Highly Bonded Pet Owners


You know your pet better than anyone. This is why having you, the pet parent, actively involved in your pet’s preventive and therapeutic treatments increases effectiveness and provides a quality of life you both can enjoy. 


Things I DON'T support:

One-Treatment Option


I use a combination of highly personalized integrative treatments along with your primary veterinarian’s recommendations to bridge the gap between conventional and alternative medicine, offering a balanced and effective approach to your pet's healthcare.


Treatments that Make Pets Uncomfortable


There is no need to force a pet to sit through an integrative treatment. I will work with you and your pet to find treatment modalities that feel good for both of you. My goal is for your pet to enjoy my visits and minimize any fear they have surrounding veterinary care.


One Size Fits All Treatments


Using my integrative expertise, I provide custom treatment plans for each individual patient based on their specific western and traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM) diagnoses. I take pride in providing pets with loving, thoughtful, premium care.


Patient Highlight


"I called Dr. Jessi when my dog, Natalia, lost mobility in her hind legs. Dr. Jessi is beyond courteous and kind when it comes to caring for animals. She immediately made room in her schedule to do an on-site visit at my home. Natalia immediately loved her, which was important to me. Dr. Jessi provided Natalia with acupuncture and got Natalia back to hiking, which is both my and Natalia’s passion. She got my best girl moving again and the love and compassion she provided to Natalia goes beyond words. Natalia had helped me through an incredibly rough year and Dr. Jessi helped put her back together again for me. If you need an excellent, kind veterinarian, contact Dr. Jessi Turner. From the bottom of both my and Natalia’s heart, we highly recommend Jessi."

WHEN YOU CHOOSE HEALING HANDS HOLISTIC VETERINARY SPECIALTIES, YOU VALUE THE KIND OF CARE THAT GOES BEYOND THE CLINIC.

My values are the guiding principles that align with my practice to ensure pet families under my care receive unwavering attention, support and expertise.

NURTURING

I recognize that each unique experience requires a delicate balance of care, attention, and closeness. Mobile veterinary care allows me to give your pet a positive experience and support both of you in a way that is nurturing and comforting.


PROFESSIONAL

I place a strong emphasis on upholding necessary standards and providing personalized attention, allowing me to make a direct connection with you and your pet within the home setting to ensure your pet receives the best possible care. 

HIGH QUALITY

By taking the time to truly get to know you and your pet, I gain a deep understanding of their unique needs. This allows for tailored, high-quality veterinary service on an individual level for overall wellness.

KNOWLEDGABLE

A blend of ancient wisdom and modern knowledge is integral to my holistic practice. I am highly dedicated to integrating science and evidence-based veterinary medicine into my care of your pet. In turn, my communication and commitment to pet parent education empowers you to provide excellent care for your furry companions.

SUPPORTIVE

Whether in the services I provide, relationships I build, the products I use, or the time I spend listening and collaborating with you, my desire is to provide a team-based option for vet care, no matter the challenges.
