Testimonials from parents.
Dr. Kumiko Ogawa has been our most treasured vet since our Westie Dolly developed pulmonary fibrosis.
“ She uses laser therapy on Dolly's lungs and it has been the most beneficial treatment. Kumiko is the most caring, knowledgeable vet and treats Dolly as one of her own. It’s so nice to have her by our side when fighting this awful disease and her compassion is wonderful. “

Dr. Kumiko is a truly gifted practitioner!
“ We initially sought treatment for our dog's arthritis but Dr. Kumiko takes a holistic approach to health and immediately sought to help our dog live a better quality of life. She is attentive, kind, patient and understanding. Buster really enjoys his visits to Dr. Kumiko and we have seen an improvement in his overall health. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you! ”

We have been visiting Dr Kumiko as one of our bunnies has severe arthritis due to a broken leg as a rescue.
“ He also developed chronic kidney disease recently, that was when we decided to consult Dr Kumiko. Dr Kumiko is one of the most patient and dedicated veterinarians we have ever met. She was so gentle with my bunny and allowed him to warm to her before she commence any treatment. She formulates a specific treatment plan targeted at your pets problems as well. My little bunny always feels a lot more energetic and lively after each session (acupuncture and laser) with Dr Kumiko and he gives her kisses in return (for those who are not aware, bunnies only give kisses when they are comfortable and likes the person!). His recent blood test results have also showed improvements! We will also be commencing herbal therapy under the directions of Dr Kumiko. We highly recommend her services to anyone with a dog or cat and also pocket pet! Dr Kumiko truly lives up to the name of an empathetic and lovable veterinarian! We cannot thank her enough for the beautiful work she's doing to help animals in Melbourne! “

Dr Kumiko Ogawa has been a huge contributor in improving the quality of life of our beloved dog Moko.
“ We originally met Dr Kumiko after our dog Moko suffered from Vestibular Disease (a sudden, non-progressive disturbance of balance). Moko was tilting her head constantly and her balance was suffering. Moko struggled with stairs, and could only take a few steps before losing her balance. After Moko had finished her course of medication Moko still wasn't quite right. Dr Kumiko suggested trying some acupuncture to aid in her recovery. Moko seemed to enjoy the acupuncture sessions calm and relaxed in her fortnightly treatments. The acupuncture treatment made a great difference. Physically; her head started to straighten out, and her mobility and balance improved. As she was turning 13 years old and seemed to have some arthritis issues in her spine and legs we continued the acupuncture treatments changing to monthly sessions for the remainder of her life. She was very relaxed and seemed to take comfort in the treatment sessions often leaving looking a lot lighter and we feel that Dr Kumiko most certainly contributed to Moko's improved quality of life in her senior years. Thank you. “

My nearly 8 years old dog (miniature dachshund) was diagnosed with Mitral Valve Regurgitation in Feb 2019.
” She has been taking tablets for the disease as well as Chinese medicine as Dr. Kumiko recommended to maintain her health. As a result, she has been healthy and surprisingly she has grown healthy hair on her chest and neck (she did not have much hair on her chest and neck before). I really recommend giving these Chinese medicines to keep your fur friends healthy with extra small money! “

鼻腔腫瘍と診断されてからパンデミックになってしまったため適切な治療が出来ず絶望的でした。
“そして友人の紹介でクミコ先生と漢方(ハーブ)に出会いました。処方し始めてから７ヶ月くらい経ちますが腫瘍は大きくなっているものの余命日を２ヶ月も越えた今も奇跡だと思うくらい元気な日々を送れています。クミコ先生には本当に感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。メールやお電話でも相談に乗っていただきありがとうございます！”

We are extremely happy with the treatment our Westie, Robbie, has received in the months he has been seeing Kumiko to have laser treatment for pulmonary fibrosis.
“Kumiko is thoughtful and caring and has much valuable insight into all health aspects of our dog. Her monitoring of Robbie’s condition is excellent and she always provides us with clear updates on how he is progressing. Importantly, Robbie loves Kumiko, as she is able to reassure him and put him at ease. Kumiko is an exceptional vet and we highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to provide the best of care for their animals.”
