I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Carrie. I had to make the heart wrenching decision to say goodbye to my best friend. It was the hardest thing to do, but Dr. Carrie's warm and compassionate way made it less painful. She is a very kind and genuinely caring person. The world needs more like her. Read Less

Oh thank you so much for your kind words, Jean. That means so much, truly. Winston had the absolute best life a dog could have with you, he was so loved and cared for, every step of the way. Take good care, ok.

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Carrie, Autumn, and the staff at Full Circle! I started going to here in early 2016 because I was at my wit's end with a very sick dog. After multiple vets, thousands of dollars of tests and special food, I took her to see Dr. Carrie. She helped me create a balanced homemade diet for my dog that has restored her health, without the use of steroids and other drugs. One of my other dogs is also very fearful of the vet due to some mistreatment at another clinic. They have been wonderfully patient and gentle with him so he doesn't leave traumatized after a visit. They let us come in to practice in the lobby too and give treats to make it a happy experience for him. As an animal professional myself, I wouldn't take my pets anywhere else for their veterinary care, and recommend them to my clients whenever possible. Read Less

I love Dr. Carrie. She is one of the most caring and compassionate people I have ever met; also bonus that it is a holistic vet clinic! A few months ago one of my cats was suffering from Congestive Heart Failure and it was time for my kitty to be at peace. So, Dr. Carrie had come over and we were able to do it in the comfort of our home. My dog and cat always respond so well to Dr. Carries calm and caring nature, and the clinic itself is so warm and home-like that even my cat is relaxed and calm while in the clinic! We will always go to Dr. Carrie! Read Less

Dr. Carrie came to our house for in home euthanasia. This was clearly a very sad time for our family and we were devastated that it was time to put our sweet Scout to sleep. She was very caring and showed so much compassion. We were not rushed and were able to take as much time as we needed to say goodbye. It was as relaxing and calm as it could have been and we didn't have to stress Scout out in her last hours of life. Read Less

This place is incredible! It doesn't feel like a vet at all. It is so warm and welcoming that our dog and kitten were calm the whole time. We spent an hour and a half (an hour and a half!!) with Dr. Carrie discussing everything from a holistic diet for a dog with bladder crystals and what vaccinations are necessary for our rescue kitten. We even discussed natural flea treatments, behavioral and more. It was amazing. This is our vet from now on! Read Less

Can't say enough about the excellent service and high-quality care provided by Dr. Carrie and the staff at Full Circle. Theirs is truly a holistic approach, which even allows for components of conventional veterinary medicine. We feel like we have had the option of tailoring or approach to our dog's veterinary care, which in our case, minimizes the use of potentially harmful medications (like antibiotics) whenever possible and reasonable.

I can't say enough great things about dr. Carrie. We brought our 6 month old Olde English bulldog in to see her after two month of struggling with allergy type symptoms causing severe itching. Or conventional vet went round and round with antibiotics and chemical-based topical sprays that did nothing but make the situation worse. Dr. Carrie spent over an hour listening to us and offering great advice including a food allergy tests we didn't even know existed. The Standard Process antihistamine started working immediately as did the topical spray she recommended. Within a few hours our puppy was feeling 90% better. Literally a life-changing experience.

I can't say enough great things about Dr Carrie and her staff at Full Circle Vet. My 9 year old Pug's Mast Cell Tumor Cancer returned with a vengeance a little over a year after a mass was removed with 'good margins'. The surgery was done by my previous traditional vet in Chicago. I wish I would have known then what I know now about dogs and cancer. I would have taken my Pug to see Dr Carrie right after surgery. Dr Carrie treats the body as a whole by offering nutritional recommendations, Chinese medicines, herbs, acupuncture, essential oils, etc....Healing and strengthening the immune system, blood flow, inflammation, pain relief, etc.... My dog had other health problems that were exacerbated by the cancer. In the end, we talked about her quality of life. She transitioned this world in a most peaceful and dignified way. The room was filled with so much love. I'm very grateful for Dr Carrie and a very special person who was also in the room with us. I believe in using both holistic and traditional vet care. If you're on the fence about holistic vet care, stop by Dr Carrie's office. I highly recommend. Read Less

I have lived in a half a dozen states over the years with my various pets. Of all the vets I have brought my pets to since I was a young child, Dr. Carrie is by far the sweetest and most compassionate vet I have ever interacted with (and that says a lot since most vets are incredibly kind). She empathizes with the animals' owners and truly wants to help the animals who are fortunate enough to come into her care. I have recommended her to several people and will continue to do so.

I can't wait to see them again when my cat needs to get his new shots in a few more months.

I'd like to update my review. I work regularly with Dr. Carrie for the animals in my rescue, but I saw her today with my 16yo Shih Tzu Sasha. Sasha is really slowing down, and we discussed her comfort level and what we can do to make her feel her best/keep her quality of life as high as possible. I felt really good about the plan. She is good at what she does all around, but where she especially shines is in helping older animals live out their golden years with less pain and more enjoyment. It's so great to have a resource for holistic care and advice for our companion animals! Kindred Spirits is not a 'normal' vet. While Dr. Carrie has great knowledge and know-how of western medicine when it's needed or desired, her knowledge of alternative options is very mind-opening and can improve pets' lives. I completely trust Dr. Carrie with my pets' care and her compassion for animals is clear from the moment you meet her.Read Less
