Jaqueline Gray, DVM
Dr. Jaqueline Gray is a 1997 graduate of Colorado State University. She came to Los Angeles for a rotating specialty internship in small animal medicine and surgery at the WLA VCA. She is a 2000 graduate of the IVAS course in veterinary acupuncture. She has also studied homeopathy with Dr. Richard Pitcairn, spinal manipulation at the Healing Oasis and completed extensive herbal training. She brings a form of integrative medicine to the hospital. She practices several holistic modalities and also combines them with western treatments and surgery as needed. Her addition to the practice opens the ability for the patient to receive complete veterinary care in the Limehouse Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Gray, as well as offering full service veterinary care and surgery, also has an interest in advancing holistic and medical procedures. She is now able to offer Stem Cell therapy for the treatment of arthritis and common ligament injuries. Future potential for stem cell therapy is endless, including kidney disease, heart disease, and diabetes to name a few. Dr. Gray continues to grow and expand her knowledge, from cutting edge medicine to ancient medicine. This is why we are excited to have her as a doctor here at Limehouse Veterinary Clinic.
