What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!
After graduating college in 1997 in exercise science & athletic training... I was determined to revolutionize animal healthcare, but animal rehab/chiro didn't really exist. So nearly 20 years after I graduated chiropractic school and had two decades of a very successful human practice, professional sports around the world and a corporate healthcare job for nearly a decade, I decided to finally make good on a life-long dream and become an animal chiro/rehab dr. I grew up with various dogs in childhood and college (German Shepherds, big mutts from the pound) but I have been a cat mom for the last 22 years and currently mother to two Ocicats who are both leash trained and registered show cats!

The most professional, skilled, and understanding chiro for us! I'm blessed to be leaving close to the clinic where she practices. I have a show & sport dog, so it's essential to get her adjusted from time to time. She has been our go to time and time again! Her schedule is truly flexible and she will do her best to accommodate you no matter what! I'm convinced that my dog is doing better and better every time because of the adjustments we started doing!
- Yelyzaveta NMila has been seeing Dr. Mar since she was a puppy, and I cannot recommend her enough. We go almost monthly as part of her preventive care, especially since Mila was born with hemivertebra, and I truly believe these visits have helped keep her healthy and thriving. Chiropractic care with Dr. Mar have supported Mila’s mobility, overall function, and well-being, and I have peace of mind knowing we are doing everything we can to keep her strong. Whether your pet is recovering from injury, living with arthritis, or you simply want to support their long-term health, Dr. Mar is amazing at what she does!
- Michelle WOur 12yo Chihuahua could barely walk and was in severe discomfort. The vet gave her some pain meds and blood tests. No results. My wife suggested Dr Mar and she took her to see her. I was very skeptical but agreed with her decision. Following the first session Daisy started walking and was clearly in less pain. Following the second session she was a puppy again. Bright eyes, appetite back and barking again. I am so amazed and happy with the results. I can’t thank my wife enough for taking Daisy to see Dr Mar. Thank you, Dr Mar!
- Rick ADr. Mar has been seeing my old man kitty for the past couple years. She has been a tremendous help with each chiropractic adjustment. My cat, Dexter, is 15 years old and has arthritis + GI lymphoma. He moves better and generally has better bowel movements after his treatments. Dr. Mar is very comfortable with cats and knows how to handle him for his treatments, even when he is having a grumpy day. I definitely recommend her services!
- Julia HDr. Mar has done wonders for our beautiful 13-1/2 year old lab with regard to his arthritis, limb weakness and discomfort in just getting older. He loves going to see his friend, Dr. Mar. she genuinely cares about my boy and has such a gentle way with him. Thank you, Dr. Mar! MJ and I love you.
- Elise BAfter our dog Bowie suffered a spinal injury from a fall, Dr. Mar’s expert care made a remarkable difference. His reflexes, gait, energy, posture, and even his ability to walk all improved - many changes were noticeable after his very first visit. Dr. Mar is a highly skilled and compassionate doctor, and as a fellow chiropractor, I wholeheartedly recommend her care and services. Thank you, Dr. Mar!
