We are excited to announce...
Dr. Julie Grimes recently achieved a significant milestone in her professional journey by completing the TCVM Acupuncture Course at Chi University. After a year of extensive course work, hands-on labs, and a comprehensive written exam, Dr. Grimes passed with flying colors and will soon receive her certification in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM). This accomplishment reflects Dr. Grimes's commitment to expanding her knowledge and embracing alternative approaches to animal healthcare.

Chi University, a renowned learning institution located in Florida, is known for its comprehensive and rigorous TCVM program, providing veterinarians with an in-depth understanding of ancient Chinese healing practices. This achievement not only showcases Dr. Grimes's commitment to continuous learning but also positions her at the forefront of veterinary medicine, where a holistic perspective is increasingly recognized and valued.

As Dr. Grimes integrates TCVM into Altadena Valley’s practice, our furry friends will benefit from a more comprehensive and personalized approach to their healthcare. The certification from Chi University represents not just a professional accomplishment for Dr. Grimes but also a commitment to elevating the standards of veterinary care and promoting the well-being of all animals under their care at AVAC.

Congratulations, Dr. Grimes!
