Meet Dr Ilana
|
Dr. Ilana Strubel earned her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Illinois and has been in small animal veterinary practice since 1995, always with a special interest in Integrative Medicine – treating her patients’ entire well-being: body, mind, and quality of life – especially tackling behavior problems, pain management, and mobility issues. She completed the Donald G. Low-CVMA Practitioner Fellowship with the UC Davis Veterinary Teaching Hospital’s Behavior Service in 2005, and became a member of the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB).
In 2011, Dr. Ilana completed training in Veterinary Spinal Manipulation Therapy (VSMT/Chiropractic), at the Healing Oasis Wellness Center focusing on both functional neurology and chiropractic adjustments, and became a certified member of the College of Animal Chiropractors; she was also certified in Animal Acupressure through the Tallgrass Animal Acupressure Institute in 2012. In 2014 she became a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist (CCRT) through Canine Rehabilitation Institute, with additional training in Sports Medicine and Conditioning, Geriatric Patient Rehabilitation, Nutrition, and Veterinary Orthotics and Prosthetics. Dr. Ilana is a member of the Association of Animal Rehabilitation Veterinarians (AARV). As of 2018, Dr. Ilana completed training at the Canine Rehab Institute to become a Certified Veterinary Acupuncture Therapist (CVAT). She is a member of the American Academy of Veterinary Acupuncture. In addition to an unshakable commitment to her own patients and practice, Dr. Ilana is passionate about volunteering with and supporting a number of important local community organizations. She currently serves on the board of Paw Fund - assisting with free vaccination, spay/neuter, and animal rescue and adoption for low-income pet owners in the East San Francisco Bay Area, and is credited for being the founder of Veterinary Street Outreach Services (VET SOS) where she volunteered as Project Coordinator for 12 years providing high quality, free veterinary care to the pets of San Francisco’s homeless community. Dr. Ilana has also served on the board of Pets Are Wonderful Support (PAWS-SF), San Francisco Aid for Animals (SFAFA), and Rocket Dog Rescue. Out of love and adoration for disabled, senior pups, Dr. Ilana currently volunteers with the veterinary department of Muttville Senior Dog Rescue, offering unique support to geriatric dogs with pain and mobility deficits. |

BAYWOOF's Beast of the Bay Awards voted
- "Best Canine Chiropractor-Peninsula & South Bay" "The accolades don’t stop pouring in for this renowned veterinarian who has taken home Bay Woof top honors since 2012. In addition to acupuncture, she offers chiropractic care, massage, and behavior services along with nutrition consultations and hospice treatment. At A Well Adjusted Pet, the focus is on mind-body comfort and care, and Strubel is continuously training to be at the forefront of the veterinary field. Pet patients are in the most gentle, most thoughtful hands here.
- "Best Alternative Medicine Provider-Peninsula & South Bay" "It’s no surprise that Dr. Ilana Strubel and her staff win this one since A Well Adjusted Pet offers many alternative medicine choices, including acupressure and therapeutic massage, acupuncture, chiropractic care, and a host of others folks may not be as familiar with such as electrical stimulation therapies, extracorporeal shockwaves, and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy."
