Advanced Care Veterinary Services

My 10 year old Chihuahua Truman, was having severe neck pain and muscle spasms. After a couple of months of trying different meds, My vet recommended us to Dr. Strammel for a consultation. We started aggressively with acupuncture and laser therapy. We were still taking pain meds and anti-inflammatoires during the first few weeks of treatment. After about 6 sessions, I was able to drastically reduce his meds and Truman was nearly back to his normal self. He went from hunched over, trembling and screaming if I touched him, to playing and running around like he had never been injured. Dr. Strammel and Emily gave my boy his spirit and his life back. I am so thankful for their care, knowledge and dedication.

Dr. Strammel has been our go to now for a couple years after our dog first tore her meniscus and then when she tore her CCL’s. Originally, our option was surgery, and that was just not something we were comfortable with. Dr. Strammel was able to give us options to avoid costly surgery, and he helped get our pup from barely walking, back to her energetic, running and jumping self! Even our primary care vet is extremely impressed with how she has recovered. Now, we work with Dr. Strammel to keep her muscles strong, and manage her pain as needed. Him and his staff are absolutely the best, and work hard to be sure the right options are available to help your pets!

Our almost 12 yo mini-poodle (Niki) had an ACL tear on her left knee in November 2020 and got operated in January 2021. As she was recovering she also tore the ACL on her right knee. Unfortunately we could not operate on her again as her blood reports were not favorable for another surgery. The vet who operated on Niki's left knee recommended doing therapy instead after giving her few days of initial rest. After lots of research and reading positive reviews of Advanced Care Veterinary we felt encouraged to setup the initial consultation with Dr. Stramel. He was extremely thorough in assessing Niki and recommended a plan to get her knees stabilized and stronger again, it included combination of water treadmill, laser, acupuncture therapy and home exercises. From April till date, Niki has responded extremely very well to the therapy routine and has made major strides getting better and stronger week over week. We also want to specifically call out the Heather and Lori for handling Niki with outmost care and making it a truly positive experience for her, they are simply amazing ladies and me and my wife feel very lucky to have found you. To anyone who is looking for help for their pet, I would highly recommend their services, they truly love what they do and will provide the best possible service your pet deserves.

I have a corgi puppy who was constantly limping and we were told before seeing Dr. Stramel that she would need knee surgery. I went to meet with Dr. Stramel to get a second opinion (thank goodness I did). With the tests he did we shortly realized that her hip was the issue. He diagnosed her with hip dysplasia and we did acupuncture, laser therapy, and stem cell therapy. Now Ava can actually be a puppy. She is not limping and has all the energy in the world. I am so thankful for this amazing staff! They are so warm and welcoming and always make sure I know exactly what is going on with my dog. Ava and I love Dr. Stramel and his staff and would highly recommend them.

My dog had a herniated disc that caused spinal stroke, So my vet Dr Mark O Gorman recommended Dr Stramel to help her to walk again with with acupuncture and was the best decision we ever made, This occur on June 4 and her back legs were paralyzed and now as of Aug 27, she can walk without difficulty, tile is still hard for her but everywhere else she is fine, Thank you from the bottom of our heart and will be forever grateful, Dr Stramel and Lori are both wonderful and very nice and caring. Jenny is so much happier now that she can walk and as the weeks went by you could tell she was getting better and stronger each week.
