Dr. Halle's Healing Hands Salem, Oregon

My 9 yr old Service Dog, Dexter, was suffering from stiffness in his neck and would suddenly let out a yelp when you barely touched him. He was especially sensitive around his ears and suddenly it got to the point where he would just be standing there doing nothing and let out a Yelp. When I took him in to his vet they did a complete workup including a biopsy on the swollen glands in his neck and it turned out he was in good shape for, a puppy mill rescue, his age except for the bacterial and yeast infections in both ears. They put him medication for his ears as well as for pain to help with the discomfort the ears and neck seemed to be causing him. The ears cleared up beautifully but his neck still seemed to be stiff the open hadn't quit. This led me to look at alternative approaches and Dr Halle. I love the fact she's 15 minutes from where I live, she does acupuncture and chiropractic work and she can come to us or I can take Dexter to her. I called as a new client and was thrilled they could see us in about two weeks. Dexter's visit was awesome. First, I actually got to go in with him to the room where Dr. Halle works! He was pretty relaxed as we discussed his issues, she determined he needed chiropractic work, and she working on him. When she found the problem spot (right behind the ears on his neck) and made the correction he let out a small yelp. I could see right away in his eyes that he was relaxing. She checked the spot again and got no response. When she released him he just melted down to the floor. It was surprisingly obvious that he felt so much better than when he'd come in. In addition to his physical treatment she also gave him some herbal pills that would help with the pain. It is so great to see him feeling like his younger self and knowing that he doesn't have to be on pain meds anymore that could possibly damage his liver with long term use. I would say Dr. Halle is an excellent choice for anyone looking for chiropractic assistance or a holistic medicine approach for their pet. All 93 lbs of Dexter, my German Shepherd/Standard Poodle rescue, would agree!

Dr. Erika is amazing! She provides amazing, not pharmaceuticals solutions for my Basenjis health issues, that get results with no side affects or guess work Saving me hundreds of dollars, and excessive office visits.

My husband and I have lived in this area for three years. We are seniors and have a few rescue babies. It's been very hard to find a vet as we are more into more natural alternatives. Found Dr. Halle and had her come over to help with our 12 year old Blue Heeler. It was a great visit! Best ever. She was very good with our pup and gave her a good exam and excellent advice. She also gave our pup a chiropractic treatment. Before that treatment, our pup was having trouble with stiffness and pains from a few injuries. Since the treatment, our pup has been great. When we would go on walks, she could only do half the walk before she would start limping and she slowed down quite a bit. After the treatment, she plays full speed ahead with energy and now when we walk, she does the whole walk with NO limps and does not slow down. I am very glad we found Dr. Halle. She was very professional, easy to talk with and very compassionate with our pups. For what you get, the price is excellent compared to what we have gotten before from other vets and ending up with NO solutions. I'm thankful for having found her and will continue to use her services as I trust her completely.

My 10yr old dog has been with Dr Erika Halle for a few years now. He absolutely loves her. He is not always the easiest dog to work with. Especially when he needs his nails cut. His immune system is compromised and needs extra attention. …

We have been using Dr. Erika for several years now. First, for our elderly cat to help make her "golden years" as nice as possible and now for our two shelter adopted cats, Juno and Hathor. She treats each of her furry patients as individuals and has such a way with animals. She's so knowledgeable and caring. I've recommended her to other friends and family.

Dr. Erika has kept our old cat Pumpkin going for the last 2 years since he was diagnosed with pancreatitis. She has kept him comfortable with acupuncture, and prescribed holistic supplements that have really perked up his appetite. I am sure that without Dr. Erika's TLC Pumpkin wouldn't be with us today.

I’m glad other people had good experiences, but I can’t help but feel buyer’s remorse. Erika seemed like a nice person, but in all honesty, way overcharged us for what was basically a 30 minute conversation this past Friday. Aside from discussing the supplements and diet that we’d already been giving our dog, I sought her advice for the Chinese herb we learned about and bought online. She listened and agreed with the treatments we’d chosen, but all we really gained was her advice for the Chinese herb. Yes, she listened to her heart and did the standard visual analysis that you’d expect, but that and the basic conversation isn’t worth $123.00 for 30 minutes. It’s noteworthy that the veterinary clinic up the street only charged $30 for a more in depth 30 minute visit the same morning. Considering they have overhead expenses and other employees to pay, how does Dr. Halle feel that her 30 minutes of talking on our sofa is worth 4 times as much?... There were no drugs prescribed or administered, blood work, biopsy samples, or anything involved enough to be worth that kind of money... Also, with gas at $2.50, the short travel to our place doesn’t add up the cost either. In my life, I’ve never payed more than $50 for a visit to the vet that only involved visual analysis and conversation. Just wish I’d known ahead of time before I was out $123... Doesn’t give me warm fuzzies.

Dr. Halle is the miracle worker! From the very first visit for my 13 year-old FIV Kitty I knew I had chosen the right veterinarian. She and her vet assistant, Ezra came in and sat down on the floor and let Theodore come to them. They were …

Dr. Erika has completely changed our cat’s life. From the time I got Egypt as an adult, she had aggression and anxiety issues to the point that she would attack other animals, go after guests, and even bit my mother to the point that she …

We are so glad we found such a knowledgable and skilled practitioner for our pets! Dr. Erika has worked wonders with our Newfie's knees and health issues. He loves acupuncture and the gentle chiropractic treatments. I appreciate her …
