Pet Parent Testimonials
What our pet parents say about our Specialty Integrative Veterinary Care
“Dr Bhatt is a miracle worker, who has been caring for Cloud, my 8-year old Great Pyrenees mix for several years. My boy had started limping, and lost his zest for life when I first called Dr. Bhatt. She combined acupuncture, chiropractic and holistic supplements that have brought Cloud back to a happy dog who plays daily like a puppy again! Thank you for healing Cloud!”

“Run Don't walk to get appointment here!!! I was about to put my baby boy Maksiu down in November, Dr helped him so much ❤️
He got ozone therapy and B12 shots and acupuncture and magnetic therapy and adjustment! Maksiu was prescribed dementia medication too. I saw huge improvement after just 2 sessions! Maksiu started to walk again. His dementia improved. He liked coming here.
Unfortunately, his condition was too advanced when he came here and he passed away on Christmas eve. I wish I knew about this place earlier. Doctor gave him extra two months. Now my 2nd Yorkie is getting her treatments here.
I highly, highly recommend this place!! Miracles workers”

They treat my babies like family! They've helped my life-long suffering allergy pittie/frenchie get regulated, kept his many mast cell tumors at bay, and help keep his bad back-end mobile! So blessed to have started going there last year! It's worth the almost hour it take to get there!

Dr. Bhatt and her entire team are truly angels. In the last six months, they have helped my sweet girl navigate through some pretty tough issues. They have always been so kind, gentle, and loving which allows my girl to relax while receiving treatment.
The office space is always neat and well kept. The energy is very welcoming. The office setup allows for pet parents to be with their babies during treatment. The team does a really good job providing an educational component to treatment as well. This allows for parents to walk away feeling better informed on their pet's healthcare.
I could go on and on about all of the reasons why this practice is amazing. Posted are photos of my sweet girl at her first visit; so calm and relaxed

Very happy I found this clinic! I like the "open space" design and that I can stay with my dog during treatments. My dog enjoys picking toys from the toy box :) And the doctor and staff are very nice. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for alternative treatments for their pets.

Malbec, my baby boy, is the most precious being in my life. Dr. Bhatt, Halia, Tori, and EVERYONE at Arya acupuncture treat him like the precious soul that he is. I cannot say enlighten great things about the human beings that work with dr Bhatt, her work, and their practice. Malbec has been at deaths door, and Dr Bhatt has brought him back to life. Of course, not literally can anyone bring anyone back to life, but they can give him quality of life. QUALITY. Dr Bhatt has taught me so much about my connection with Malbec, his health, his care and so many other things. She is considerate, caring, intelligent, strong willed, and kind. Her staff is nothing short. Halia and Tori Love my baby up, leave a fan out for him, and his favorite sleeping mat all for his comfort. My eyes water with how GRATEFUL I am that they are part of his journey. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH

Dr Bhatt and her team are top notch. There's no doubt in my mind the acupuncture saved and extended my dog's life many times over. I'm forever grateful to have found these great people and I recommend them to every one of my friends in the state.

I love Dr. Bhatt and the Fantastic Ladies of Arya. They are kind, have an Amazing way with animals and are so very patient. Dr. Bhatt is a wealth of knowledge, she offers a great insight into other modalities (herbs, supplements, acupuncture, chiropractic and so much more). If you are looking for proactive ways to help your pet, call Arya!

I cannot say enough positive things about Arya Accupunture. I entered with very low hope after spending nearly $10,000 at the vets no answers to my dogs sudden paralysis. Dr Bhatt is extremely dedicated and passionate. I left the office without tears and even A SMILE, most importantly hope. I am so grateful to have found her and her team , even just after 1 session my dog was trying to stand/ walk . We look forward to continuing our journey with Dr Bhatt and her professional team. Thank you all so much for what you do.

"Beefy's gnawing and chewing at his skin has persisted. My regular vet had run out of options for him, so I took the recommendation of my good friend [ ] and called Priya Bhatt, D.V.M., MS, CVA, CVMMP of Arya Animal Acupuncture. She came over tonight and spent nearly 2 hours with us, educated me a TON, did a complete exam, treated Beefy with acupuncture, and prescribed herbs and a new diet to cool him (following Chinese medicine concepts which are new to me). I'm doing a total review of possible environmental allergens, and will keep him on a low dose of prednisolone until Dr. Bhatt wants him off. We still may need to see a veterinary dermatologist, but I hope we can make progress with holistic medicine via Dr. Priya Bhatt at https://www.aryaacupuncture.com/."

"Dr. Bhatt has been a welcome addition to our family over the past 2 years. She was recommended to us by a Neurological Vet at Arboretum View and we are ever grateful to them and her! She came into our home and helped our 12 year old French Bulldog through acupuncture and electrical stimulation and herbs.
"Our dog Paris' rear legs didn't work anymore although she could support herself. We feel that through the regimen of herbs and acupuncture, we were given more quality time with Paris. Dr. Bhatt would change her herbs to suit our dogs needs. I was always amazed at how she just knew which herbs were right for her. She was always on top of giving her the best care.
"Paris was almost always willing to have acupuncture and loved Dr. Bhatt. We did our best together to keep Paris healthy and happy. When that was no longer possible, Dr. Bhatt, was there to help us say goodbye to Paris and help her to the Rainbow Bridge. She was 14-1/2 years old. We may not have Paris anymore, but we have gained a wonderful friendship with Dr. Bhatt. She will be our "traveling vet" when we decide to get another dog."

"I have known Dr. Bhatt for more than 5 years. She is amazing - as a doctor and as a person. At one time I had 5 cats and 2 dogs. She is so wise and compassionate; and I could trust that she would be honest with me about when it was time to let go. Because of her integrated knowledge and experience of western AND eastern medicine I was able to keep my wonderful Buddy for two years after the onset of his issues related to aging. I lost him when he was 18. I would follow her anywhere to take care of my remaining family."
— Marty K., Franklin Park, IL
"Dr. Priya Bhatt is an incredible veterinarian, and is highly knowledgeable in many protocols and alternative therapies. She is such a compassionate and caring person and I am proud to call her my friend. She cared for Sonny the past few years and recommended supplements and Chinese herbs to help him keep his immune strong while fighting cancer. She definitely had a place in Sonny's heart! Ron and I both highly recommend her. Here is her new website - check her out!"

"My 5 yr old Ellie- She and her 2 sisters were abused by a man and his son when Great Lakes Lab Rescue saved them at 5 months old. The external wounds healed and her 2 sisters, Sadie and Peanut, found their furever. But Ellie suffered brain damage from the abuse and was not able to be adopted out. We had her on 2 different meds in an effort to help her but she's just not right in the head. It took us years to get her to where she is now. She never relaxed enough to rest comfortably in the grass, or roll around on her back. She always had to be touching me in bed or on the couch and never came looking for affection. We thought this was as far as she'd get. Until Dr. Bhatt & "Arya Animal Acupuncture" came into our lives (she's treating Duke for his disc issue). She put Ellie on herbs and look at her now! We've had such success we pulled her off one of her meds. Hopefully the other will follow. I have lots more room in bed and on the couch now, and she comes up to me looking for love as you see in the pic below. I'm incredibly thrilled with how much better Duke is, but to see the change in Ellie brings happy tears to my eyes. Dr Priya Bhatt is a miracle worker IMO, and proof that there's a place for eastern medicine in veterinary care. Thank you Dr. Bhatt from the bottom of my heart!"

HUGE thanks to our fantastic veterinarian Priya Bhatt for coming to our house tonight to check on our dog, Angel! Angel, Chloe, and Bailey enjoyed the visit. We appreciate the continued care and compassion that all three receive to ensure they are healthy and happy!

"After 8 acupuncture treatments by Dr Priya Bhatt of Arya Animal Acupuncture Speciality Integrative Veterinary Medicine Duke is doing great! He's off all pain meds and steroids. No signs of pain at all. The lump on his spine (site of disc bulge/inflammation) is nearly gone. He's slightly wobbly but nowhere near what he was. I know he'll never be 100% again but if this is as good as it gets for him at 10ish, I'm thrilled!! Duke will now just get acupuncture every 3 weeks and will continue taking herbs. And maybe an occasional trip to the Chiropractor.
As if that wasn't enough, his Psychogenic Polydipsia has gone away too. It caused him to drink excessive amounts of water cuz his brain wasn't getting the "I'm not thirsty anymore" signal, making him pee for days. So we had to closely monitor his water intake. Not anymore.
I'm beyond grateful to Dr Bhatt for her help with my boy. She can help your pet too as acupuncture helps a wide variety of maladies. And she comes to your house for treatment. How great is that? Tell her I sent you.
Some think I go to crazy lengths to help my pets. But I have to know I've tried EVERYTHING I possibly could for them, turned over every rock, otherwise I'd never forgive myself. And if you say - it's just a dog. I'll tell you you're just an idiot."

This is going to be a busy day for my little man (Hayward) He has an appointment with [ ] for a blood draw to help us try to figure out how to further treat him. We will have the blood panel results on Wednesday. Then straight away to see Dr. Priya Bhatt for acupuncture.
We have seen improvement, but he still has moments of nystagmus, head swaying and circling. His appetite has improved and have seen him nibbling from the pellet bowl and eating hay.. He is still very enthusiastic about his Emeraid critical care and cilantro and parsley. Thank goodness!
Considering what he is going through and his age, he simply amazes me!
— Tammy J., Dekalb, IL
Dr. Bhatt and her staff are fabulous! They have cared for my pets for the past 10 years. I would not use anyone else for traditional veterinary needs (annual shots, ear cleaning, nail trimming, teeth cleaning, blood work, occasional infections or injuries) and alternative medicine (acupuncture, Chinese herbs, chiropractic, electrical stimulation, Reiki (energy healing), essential oils). Dr. Bhatt combines Eastern and Western medicine to promote an overall healthy pet. Her integrative approach to healing your pet while promoting the human/animal bond is beyond compare!
— K Harry (Google Review)
We love the team of passionate animal experts and Dr. Bhatt. Their approach to integrative medicine is fantastic and they provide a great deal of education and resources along the way. They've got a great system and provide an incredible amount of care in their work. My dog has received massage, acupuncture and chiropractic work and we even went ahead and purchased the Assisi loop and assisi lounge to get the whole healing package. Thank you all for your great work. Bubba sends his love and gratitude too 🙏❤

Dr. Bhatt came to the rescue and helped me manage my beloved senior cat's medical crisis when another vet clinic wasn't being proactive enough, and then she helped me manage his condition. Now she is my cats' primary vet because she is a great traditional and integrative vet! We've also met Weronika, who is also amazing! - Renee M. (Google Review)
Dr Bhatt has been treating my dogs for 5 years for a variety of maladies and injuries. She's saved me thousands of dollars in expensive orthopedic and neurological surgeries - which frequently have unfavorable post-op results - by treating my dogs with Chinese herbs, acupuncture, and chiropractic adjustments. Her knowledge, from a western and eastern veterinary medicine perspective, is outstanding and allows her to treat your pet from both disciplines, often catching medical problems in their early stages. As a retired licensed vet tech, who's worked in a number of facilities with many veterinarians, I know a great vet when I see one. Because of my experience working in the veterinary world I've, sadly, worked with a number of veterinarians who I would never allow anywhere near my dogs. Dr Bhatt goes above and beyond for both her patients and their owners, and I'm grateful for that. She's definitely a keeper! - Diane A. (Google Review)
Dr. Bhatt and her team are a godsend, especially during these times in Covid-19. Knowing that our dogs can be treated right at our home takes a lot of weight off our shoulders. Dr. Bhatt goes above and beyond without fail. She helped our black Lab extend his life by about 6 months with cancer, and when it was finally time to send him over the rainbow Bridge, she was there for us every step of that painful day. Having him go peacefully in our arms, and in the paw of our other Lab in our own driveway made it so much easier to send him off. We recommend her to everyone! - Denis A-V. (Google Review)
I don't even know where to begin! Dr. Bhatt is beyond your traditional "good" vet. Dr. Bhatt takes the best of both worlds, combining traditional medicine with acupuncture, manual therapy, herbal therapy and much more to give your pet the best health care possible. She is knowledgeable in all areas and takes that knowledge to assess how your pet is doing and treats from there, not just following the same traditional protocol over and over again, all pets are different, they have good and bad days and their treatments should change and be focused on how the patient is being presented, Dr. Bhatt does just that. Besides Dr. Bhatt's knowledge and skills, she truly cares about all of her patients and is passionate about being a veterinarian, those doctors are hard to find these days. I am beyond grateful that my fur children are in her care and I truly believe my sweet beagle girl is still with us today because of Dr. Bhatt. - Ashley J. (Google Review)
Highly recommend! Dr. Priya Bhatt is a compassionate soul who truly connects with animals. She has worked miracles with our little dog, Gigi, who suffered from a neurological lesion. When our dog first met Dr. Bhatt, she could not walk, had constant fits/tremors (possibly small strokes), and she was newly blind. Her tail was limp, she had no interest in life. After her first treatment of acupuncture and chiropractic adjustments, she walked and then ran. She perked up so much and got braver as she adjusted to her blindness. The Chinese herbs, some cool tech, and meds Dr. Bhatt prescribed balanced out her tremors and helped her have a better quality of life. I highly recommend Dr. Bhatt - she is truly invested in the care and well being of her patients (and their families)! Dr. Bhatt's treatment is both affordable and effective. I found her after not getting anywhere with a multitude of tests and no treatment by other clinics. Her treatments gave Gigi an extra year of her life before she passed on to the Rainbow Bridge. When Dr. Bhatt took care of her end of life care, I can’t tell you how kind, considerate and compassionate she was towards the whole family. Thank you, Dr. Bhatt. - Wendy M, Elgin IL (Google Review)
