We combine alternative modalities along with conventional medicine to offer many options to restore Bear Creek Veterinary Alternatives
Welcome to Bear Creek.
(21)
Our philosophy is rooted in the ancient belief that all things are interconnected including our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health and that of our animal companions. Our holistic approach to veterinary care combines 22 years of conventional medicine practice along with emergency care experience, and holistic medicine including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture, homeopa
thic, nutrition, and other treatment modalities. As a holistic practice we respect your financial health. We keep our prices reasonable and maintain our excellent standard of compassionate care for your animals. Please have the same respect for our time and give 24-hours notice if you need to cancel your appointment. Many of the animals we treat are critically ill and we typically schedule 1 to 1½ hours of the doctor’s time for initial appointments. We appreciate your consideration. Our deep love of nature is reflected in the web site and we hope you will enjoy the photos from our travels and the news, articles, and classes we provide for your education. Voted Favorite Holistic Veterinarian by Sarasota Pet and Natural Awakenings readers. Bear Creek is now offering dental cleanings without anesthesia for animals that are pre-screened, suitable candidates. Older or chronically ill animals are particularly suited for this procedure as they are always at risk when undergoing anesthesia. Please call to schedule an exam.
Good afternoon! This is Susan Gonzalez, Dr Gonzalez's wife... we have an announcement to make! We are excited to launch an awesome new website (I hope next week) for our new in-house appointments and telemedicine business called The Red Fox Institute, LLC. Please call to find out more at 941-312-6825. We are still located at Bear Creek's former location 7509 S Tamiami Trl. Sarasota 34231.
