'Holistic', yet the first words out of his mouth were 'need surgery'. I needed to ask him on other options, which after a round of anti biotics and a diet change, made a significant improvement. Archaic facilities and his 'bed side' manner with my dog was terrible. I've changed vets. Dr. Qi - please read these posts and make some changes. INVEST in your practice and don't be so bloody cheap. You're prices are high, why you so cheap?

This vet clinic is amazing! With same day appointments available and the care and love the staff has given is absolutely amazing! I was given choices for procedures instead of a quick one time option that usually requires a lot of money. I've never seen a more caring vet. When he comes into the room, you are immediately comforted by the doctors kind and quiet personality. He explains why he believes in certain treatments and understands when you are in a financial slump. I recommend him more then ever! Not to mention, he houses two of the most happiest cats I've ever met! Which means he's doing something right! Even after surgery, when a client is picking up their pets, he comes out to greet them! Front staff are also amazing, with wonderful attitudes and genuine care .

We have been taking our cats to Dr Qi for many years. He has been very compassionate and kind. When our elderly cat had to be euthanized, he made a house call to reduce the stress for both the cat and us. The staff are friendly and very caring.

I have been going to see Dr Qi and his staff for many years. I had a st poodle that was diagnosed with a stomach tumor. Other vets wanted to remove the tumor and only leave him with 1/4 of his stomach. Dr Qi put him on special herbs. I called them anti cancer pills! In under a year the tumor was gone. My poodle was about 4 years old then. He finally died at the ripe old age of 14. If not for Dr Qi he would have had a very serious surgery. Thank you everyone there. My other pets love going in to visit with the staff. They think it is the best place ever. Dr Qi is the only vet I have gone to that actually cares about the animals and what is good for them.

Fantastic! I have been bringing my Rottweiler, Diablo, and my 2 cats (Sam and Missy) to Dr. Qi at the Calgary Holistic Vet Clinic for years. I find the staff to be absolutely wonderful, and always very helpful. The front desk staff is always great with Diablo and truly are animal lovers. They always remember our pet’s names and always have their favorite treats on hand. I have never seen Dr. Qi show any fear towards Diablo who is fearful of men and can be slightly aggressive. Dr. Qi is very good with him, and takes everything very slow.
Two of our pets have been on different herbs for different issues (bladder stones and stomatitis). In both cases, the herbs alleviated their suffering and helped control the issues.
It is very unfortunate that so many people are so quick to call Dr. Qi a cash grab. He is a wonderful Veterinarian who, in my opinion is well educated and truly cares about each individual pet.

I took my beloved 13 year old dog to this clinic and I can tell you that I wholeheartedly DISAGREE with those of you who say that DrQi doesn't know much about Holistic medicine. He was very kind toward my dog. She was diagnosed with Cushings disease which has no cure. The medications to treat the symptoms of this illness do more harm than good, so I decided to try traditional chinese medicine to alleviate the symptoms being that my own vet basically sent me off saying that there was nothing she could do. Dr. Qi told me that he has formulated his own herbs and treatment for this disease and has had great success over the past 10 years in treating it.What you must understand about TCM is that it is not a quick fix. I told my regular vet about the fact that my dogs back legs seemed to be a little bit weaker than her front legs. She did nothing about it and blew it off as nothing.Dr.Qi immediately saw that my dogs right leg was weaker that her left leg. Overall, he was great!

I was not happy at all with the care my chihuahua received here. The exam room had not been cleaned or even tidied after the previous animal. Doctor had obviously not reviewed our file before coming into the room, and was about to re-administer the same vaccination my dog had received 2 weeks prior, until I corrected him. My dog had been having occasional seizures and the doc was ready to hand me anti-convulsant drugs immediately -- did not ask for a seizure log, inquire about diet or possible toxins, or do a liver function test. I chose this clinic because of the "holistic" philosophy, but doc was dismissive of my inquiries about alternative treatments or herbal remedies. He also seemed surprised that my 5-pound chihuahua had small veins(!), and thus it took 3 tries to get an adequate blood sample. In spite of all this, the office staff are awesome. Wish I could say the same about the doc.
