Toni Forrest2025-01-06 Dr Marisa's passion and expertise are truly unparalleled. Her unwavering commitment to providing exceptional post-operative care for our beloved French Bulldog with IVDD has been nothing short of extraordinary. Her dedication to his rehabilitation journey shines through in every session, and it's evident that she genuinely cares about her patients. Our Frenchie absolutely adores her—he may even love her more than us! The holistic approach she employs, particularly the underwater treadmill therapy and acupuncture has significantly improved his strength and mobility in his back legs. Our journey is not over and will continue with the rehab for the foreseeable future. Dr Marisa’s work has given our baby a better quality of life, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her efforts. If you're looking for someone who combines expertise, compassion, and results-driven care, look no further than Dr Marisa and Holisticare Rehab. Highly recommended! Karishma Naraindath2024-09-19 I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional service provided by Holisticare Rehab and Veterinary Services. The ladies have truly gone above and beyond to ensure that my beloved Pekingese, Chai, received the best possible care. After being diagnosed with a spinal cord injury and undergoing emergency surgery, Chai was recommended for water therapy treatments. The staff's patience, meticulous attention to detail, and genuine love for animals made all the difference in helping her feel comfortable and cared for. Thank you for your outstanding support. S Mall2024-07-30 5 stars and more for a Dr that is knowledgeable and caring. Spoke to me for over an hour on the phone. Extremely helpful. Thank you Linda Piegl2024-02-01 HolistiCare was recommended to me and I'm so grateful that such a veterinary practice exists in Fourways! Dr Marisa has a wealth of knowledge and a special way with animals. She goes above and beyond to help them and to guide and inform you about how you can improve their health and wellbeing. After just one acupuncture session my almost 16 yr old dog became happier and seemed less sore. Dr Marisa is also available to answer your questions and concerns post-treatment, and despite being incredibly busy, she always gets back to you. Her recommendations for my dog's diet and existing supplements (correct dosage/frequency) resulted in his appetite returning. Following the second session, his anxiety has decreased and his back spasms are fewer. I'm so grateful to Dr Marisa and only wish I had found her sooner! She is my go-to now for all my pets! Valentina Pavlenko2023-08-25 Thank you for your love, care and professionalism. ❤️ Andrew Harding2023-05-24 I have been taking my Labrador George here for aqua therapy for over a year. Kayla and Marisa are both fantastic with their care and attention and George always enjoys his visits and sessions. They are knowledgeable and provide good advice on care and treatment. I highly recommend their services. Gillian Dawson2022-12-12 Fantastic staff always caring and helpful. Would not go anywhere else for doggie rehab Nicky Jansen2022-11-15 Kayla and Marissa are the most caring and amazing people. 2 of my huskies go to Holisticare and they love the care and attention they get when they visit. And most importantly, both dogs are coping so much better with physio and hydrotherapy than without.
