We work alongside your primary veterinarian

Our veterinarian’s expertise and passion is treating holistically using principles of Chinese medicine.  Our focus is alternative veterinary medicine and our clinic is equipped for this purpose.  Our patients will continue to see their primary veterinarians for services that we do not provide such as emergency and urgent care, x-rays, nail trims etc.

Our veterinarian welcomes collaborating with your primary veterinarian and board certified veterinary specialists such as oncology and internal medicine.

What our clients say

Dr. Yamate sees all our “complicated” pets - they’re old and they have issues! She’s incredible!! She and her team have provided complimentary treatments for arthritis, kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, heart conditions, tumors, allergies, etc etc - they’re always kind, compassionate, and up to date on the latest therapies available. She caught several health concerns early enough that it made a huge difference in outcome, too. My only regret is that we didn’t know about her sooner!

When our previous Lab, Maxie was suffering from Laryngeal Paralysis, we took her to see Dr. Yamate. The Western Med vets said we would be lucky to have her through the summer. Two and a half years later, we had to put Maxie down. Dr. Yamate helped her not with just her Laryngeal Paralysis, but also with her arthritis and Hip dysplasia as well. The team is kind and caring. My only regret, we moved away, so our new dog, Ram won't get to experience the great care the team at Center for Integrative Animal Medicine can provide.

I highly recommend CIAM. We lost our dog to cancer last year and didn't find out about CIAM until her last month of life. It made such a difference for her. Wish we discovered Dr.Yamate and her clinic long ago.
