“Prior to the surgery Dr.Ava worked with my holistic vet and came up with a series of supplements to prepare her for surgery.Dr.Ava also perscribed Alpha-Stim treatment to manage the pain.
“After the surgery, Dr.Ava developed an aggressive rehab plan for Amalia to get her back on track. It consisted of underwater treadmill and a series of exercises to target her mobility and muscle growth as well as supplements to boost her immune system.
“April 2nd & 3rd,only 3 months after surgery.Amalia was back in the ring and earned her 1st & 2nd RAE leg in AKC rally obedience toward her RAE title and scored in the 80′s & 90′s out of 100 pts.She has since earned 3 more legs.

“Auryn was indroduced to the Alpha-Stim machine to which she responded well. Dr. Frick is one of a kind… She takes the time to discuss her impressions of the pet’s condition with you and explains the treatment plan and objectives in detail. She researches past history and consults previous veterinarians, keeping you advised all along. Her follow-through is exceptional. Dr. Frick’s expertise should be promoted throughout the veterinary community as most pet owners are not made aware of its availability.”

A Story from Jake
| “One day I was out doing my rounds monitoring my territory. As I was crossing the street I was struck by something and felt intense pain as I was hurled into the air. The next thing I remember I was laying in a doctor’s office with all these strange people hovering over me. I had an unbearable pain in my hips and couldn’t’ move my back legs. I also had a ferocious headache and I couldn’t see out of my left eye. The room was spinning and I was frightened, but these people seemed nice and were trying to help me so I calmed down.”A couple of days later they brought me to another doctor. I still hurt really badly but I knew they were trying to help; the only problem was that they all looked so sad when they looked at me. Then a great thing happened! My parents came to visit me, but they had such sadness in their eyes. They pet me and cried and told me goodbye. I still don’t understand why, but I never saw them again.
“After a few more days at the doctor, a nice lady came and took me to her house. She would pet me and rub me all over. It felt very soothing. Then she put little things on my ears and would touch me with little probe-like things that created a good feeling in me. When she was with me she would talk to me and soothe me. When she was gone, there was always real nice soft music and the scent of lavender in the air I was always calm. She fed me special vitamins and put these magnets in my bed. “I could drag myself out of my crate and go potty on a mat and slowly I began to get stronger and could drag myself farther, but I would have to rest. Then little by little I began to walk a little bit, kind of wobbly-like. “The lady began taking me to see a doctor lady and at first I was scared to see her because it always hurt me when anyone but my lady touched me. After a while I noticed that after I went to the doctor lady I would feel a little bit better. This was especially after the time I slipped and hurt my shoulder real bad. They said it was dislocated. Well, that doctor lady made it better! After a while I started walking better and my lady would take me to the doctor’s place and put me in the water with her. I could walk and she would help my feet because I couldn’t control my left rear leg very well at all. Slowly I began to walk and feel better and better. “Now, I am happy to say that I can run, jump and swim with my new family. I am seven years old and love my nice lady and her family of dogs as though I have lived here my whole life. As a matter of fact, I owe my life to her with the awesome help of the doctor lady called Dr. Frick.” Jake is a 7 year old Jack Russell Terrier who had a broken spine and blind eye as the result of being struck by a truck. His owners declined any treatment but I felt he deserved a chance so I took him and along with my compassion and diligence, my skills partnered with Dr. Ava, he is now able to run, jump, swim and go on trail rides. He is a very happy dog and acts as though he has been a part of our family his whole life. When he was brought to me, he could not walk. I used the Alpha-Stim on him daily along with a few chiropractic adjustments, magnetic and acupressure therapy as well as aroma and music therapy. Slowly he began dragging himself about, getting stronger and stronger, and then I began bringing him to Dr. Ava for the underwater treadmill therapy. At first, he was so delicate and painful I had to carry him into the office as he lay in his little bed. His muscles were so atrophied it was just skin and bones on his little legs. He had therapy 2-3 times a week and little by little he regained his strength. In the water he could move in a way that he could not move on the ground. Now, he is strong and active and happy thanks to my devotion and the expertise of Dr. Ava. - Jakes’s Owner |

“Elka was suffering from sever arthritis in both hind legs. She could hardly get up a flight of stairs and worse, cried going down the stairs. Her regular vet gave me a newsletter from Dr. Frick, what a good send. I called for an appointment in May and two months later my Elka was back to playing and going up and down stairs like a champ. When we came in, I thought that Elka wouldn’t see her 8th birthday, now she is a whole new dog. She is back to instigating her brother and making him look like an idiot. I can not say enough about how wonderful Dr. Frick and her staff are. Dr. Frick is truly an angel from heaven. Thank You!”
