Dr. Marc Smith offers three types of telemedicine consultations to meet the diverse needs of pet owners:
- TCVM Telemedicine Consultation
- Current Client Telemedicine Consultation
- Second Opinion Telemedicine Consultation
Dr. Smith’s virtual consultations provide expert guidance on holistic and conventional treatments, allowing you to make informed decisions about your pet’s health. Each telemedicine consultation costs $125 and includes a thorough review of your pet’s medical history, ensuring a focused and efficient discussion during the call.
TCVM Telemedicine Consultation
Every pet is unique, and their healthcare should reflect that. Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) takes a holistic approach by identifying the root causes of health issues instead of just treating symptoms. With a TCVM telemedicine consultation, Dr. Marc Smith provides customized recommendations to support your pet’s health and wellness naturally.
Why Choose a TCVM Telemedicine Consultation?
Most pet parents seek telemedicine consultations because their current veterinarian primarily practices conventional Western medicine. TCVM offers a proactive and integrative approach, incorporating herbal therapies, food therapy, and supplements with minimal side effects.
Most herbal and nutritional supplements Dr. Smith recommends can be safely used alongside conventional medications. His complementary approach enhances your pet’s treatment plan, offering a balanced path to long-term health and recovery.
By combining Eastern and Western veterinary principles, TCVM helps pet parents optimize your pet’s wellness through personalized, holistic care.
