Animal Acupuncture Westside Albuquerque, New Mexico

Had a wonderful experience! Dr. Schlesinger is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and kind. Luckily my dog is young and doesn't have any real issues to treat however, I wanted to establish care and am grateful to know a vet that can truly provide nutrition counseling as well as services that are highly effective such as acupuncture. Fantastic!

My big older doberman was falling down and in constant pain when we first visited here. Now, two months later, she runs and even plays with our other dog. What a joy to see her so happy and able to move!

Dr.S. is fabulous!!! I have a 14 year old lab with back issues arthritis issues..and injury of shoulder. I came to get Mobility back in my dog.. Doctor S treated her with acupuncture and herbs and cold laser therapy. For the first time in over 30 years that I have owned dogs this is the first time a veterinarian has done a thorough exam and asked many many questions and truly had compassion to get to know my Dog and answer all my questions. I saw immediate results within the 24 hours. Doctor S was so compassionate and very very patient with my senior dog. He explained everything to me. He treated my senior dog with the utmost respect. He was very detail-oriented on instructions and educating me about the treatment and what to expect. I have had three visits for my senior dog now with Doctor S and I have seen extreme improvement! I can't say enough about his practice and how my dog was treated and how patient and educated this doctor is. He has the best options available for your animal.. technology-wise herbal wise It's been a blessing since I found this doctor I can't thank you enough Doctor S. Beverly and Chaco.

Dr. Fred Schlesinger has been such an ally in helping heal our dog Sausha. We were very worried that she would never walk again after finding her paralyzed in our backyard after work one day. Within a few weeks Sausha began to walk and wag her tail! We would highly recommend his treatments. She started out on electro-acupuncture and Chinese herbs. We now go just for regular acupuncture.

Dr. S continues to help my elderly Puppy Love age gracefully.

Very good alternative medicine for older dogs. Most likely all dogs.

An amazing transformation! I took my foster dog to see Dr. Schlesinger due to fear of people. At home she was a very sweet dog, but in public she was scared, probably due to isolation and abuse at her former home. Dr. S did a thorough evaluation asking me lots of questions and taking a lot of time with the dog so she was comfortable with him. We started herbs and accupuncture. Within a week I saw a drastic difference in her. She started wanting to meet people. Still apprehensive, but better. After a couple more treatments, with me working on behavior modification, the people at adoption events were amazed at the difference in the dog. I contribute a lot of the positive changes to the herbal and acupuncture treatment. I had the dog for four months before beginning treatment with slow progress, but the pace and amount of progress greatly improved after seeing Dr. S. I would use Chinese Medicine and Dr. S again!

Our 6 year old Beagle/Dauschan mix, Angus had hind leg paralysis. Our veterinarian of many years recommended surgery to the tune of $5000-$7000. We found Animal Acupuncture Westside Online and started acupuncture and Chinese herbs. …

Excellent for your pets mental and physical state.

Dr. Schlesinger is a very knowledgeable veterinarian who has always done his best to take care of my dog. With his knowledge in traditional veterinary medicine and in oriental medicine, I know my pet is in good hands.

We first took Snowbelle, a then 8-year-old boxer, to Animal Acupuncture Westside about two years ago. She suffered from a case of sciatica which made it very challenging for her to get around in addition to affecting her appetite and zest for life. Originally, I had my doubts about what acupuncture could accomplish, not just in dogs but also in humans; thinking that perhaps a good amount of what gets reported is placebo. After visiting our western medicine vet clinic, we soon reached the limit of what western medicine could accomplish. So as a last-ditch effort, we decided to take Snowbelle to Animal Acupuncture Westside. Dr. Schlesinger was very competent, knowledgeable and informative. He walked us through some of the rudimentary terms of the eastern medicine approach, explaining some of the ins and outs of Snowbelle’s chi. In just three weeks, Snowbelle started showing a drastic improvement . And after six weeks, she made a full recovery having undergone Dr. Schlesinger’s treatment plan. While I initially had my doubts, I can say without reservation that Dr. Schlesinger’s practice is unmatched. He has since treated Snowbelle’s GI issues to great effect and her sciatica has never returned. We continue to see Dr. Schlesinger and would highly recommend this practice to all pet owners. We give Animal Acupuncture Westside a 5 out of 5 for competence, professionalism, friendliness, convenience and affordability.
