From Dr. Laurie's website: When Dr. Laurie started her family, she started on the path to wholistic health care and whole organic foods. Dr. Laurie’s best friend in veterinary school had studied many wholistic modalities immediately after graduation, and Dr. Laurie realized it was time to follow in her friend’s footsteps. She retooled her practice and retrained her staff. Stephanie immediately saw the results and starting incorporating wholistic health care into her family.
