Speaking for the Canine Patients
Milo
"Our border collie mix loves nothing more than fetching his tennis ball. But around the time he turned 8, we noticed that he would often develop a limp while playing. Dr. Jester helped us to determine that arthritis was the problem and that it was made worse by excessive running
and stopping. Milo's treatments have helped him recover more quickly and play more often. He also showed an increase in energy after the the first several treatments. The best part was, he absolutely loved the sessions!" -Dave of Corvallis, OR
Chomsky
"We were advised to try acupuncture as a "last resort" after lots of more traditional treatments for IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). We should have tried much earlier because it dramatically helped our dog's ability to manage the disease himself with a minimal level of traditional medication." -Liz K. and Gabe E. of Beavercreek, OR
Rumor
"Due to complications of a C-section and spay, my Doberman, Rumor ended up in the emergency clinic overnight getting a blood transfusion. She could not nurse her pups for the first 18 hours so her milk production was very low. One of the vets I work with suggested acupuncture with Dr. Jester.
Dr. Jester came to my home to do the acupuncture. Rumor is normally very protective of her pups, but Dr. Jester was very calm and her caring attitude put Rumor at ease. Dr. Jester did the acupuncture on the bed next to the whelping box so Rumor was right next to her puppies.
Dr. Jester made 2 housecalls and numerous follow-up phone calls to see how things were progressing with Rumor and the puppies, along with several suggestions to help Rumor's milk production.
I would highly recommend Dr. Jester to anyone needing acupuncture for their pet."
- Lisa Johnson of Boring, OR
Max
Regarding expectations for Maxx's acupuncture, Heather responded "I didn't have any expectations. I just wanted to explore every avenue possible. I went in with an open mind and decided to see how Maxx responded. I definitely noticed more difficulty with his mobility when it was time for another appointment." - Heather D. of Portland, OR
Leah
"Dr. Becky Jester combines a love and respect for animals with a wealth of knowledge both from a traditional DVM standpoint and an "alternative" all inclusive holistic approach, i.e. the "full package"! I believe ANY animal would benefit from a visit with Dr. Jester, either for treating a chronic condition, illness, or just a general "tune up" to keep everything functioning properly. She's truly blessed with healing hands, and the knowledge behind it in how best to use them."
- Bobbie and Dave E. of Estacada, OR
Luna
"Dr. Jester's knowledge of acupuncture and her calming nature has made my first first-hand experience with these treatments feel safe for Luna and free of discomfort or stress for her."
- Lisa W. of Portland, OR
Daisy
Elvis snoozes while Daisy looks on
"Daisy had a bulging disc in her back and I seriously thought the outcome would be grim. The treatments helped immediately and have given her a wonderful quality of life."

Bubbers
Bubbers keeps his eyes on the camera
"Bubbers has a plethora of issues and he was sluggish and not eating. Dr. Jester did just a few treatments on him for pain and appetite stimulation and he had great results!
With Dr. Jester it's more than "just a treatment". She cares beyond belief about the animals she is treating and provides them with the best possible care. She also has the ability to put even the most nervous dog at ease to maximize each treatment. I just can't say enough great things about Dr. Jester. We all just love her at my house!!"
- Trish C. of Portland, OR
Clive
"Our dog Clive had a very serious spinal cord stroke in June 2008 and was nearly completely paralyzed. Acupuncture with Dr. Jester has been a pillar of his continuing recovery. He now is able to walk, sit and even run a bit on his own. We have appreciated the way Dr. Jester works collaboratively with his other veterinary care providers, especially Dr. Shaw at Back on Track, and we think this high degree of communication and coordination of his care has really helped him. As a physician I am impressed with the growing body of research confirming the usefulness of acupuncture for many conditions. Although research with animals is not as far along, we have certainly seen positive results for Clive. We really thank Dr. Jester for her knowledgeable and compassionate care. - Valerie King, M.D.
Molly
Treats?
"Dr. Jester's acupuncture treatments helped Molly regain flexibility and mobility after back surgery. Dr. Jester's helpful advice and kind reassurance helped Molly's people during that challenging time!"
- Anne and Gary

Lady Dawson
"Dr. Jester is kind, gentle and knowledgeable. Her expertise was appreciated by both Dawson and me. Dawson's relief was more profound and lasting than the water therapy (treadmill) and ultrasound." - D.P.
Jada
"Becky gave more than veterinary acupuncture and joint manipulation. She was always available to answer questions and give us reassurance and comfort throughout the process. What it really comes down to is she gave us two more years with our beloved Jada that otherwise we wouldn't have had. We can't thank her enough for all that she has given us."
- Kim of Estacada, OR
Rosey Lucy
"Stan and I are so pleased with Becky's caring and loving personality."
- S.H. and L.H.
Mookie
"Mookie's well-being increased greatly while he was in treatment with Dr. Jester. He has more energy and vitality and he walks more easily. It's an excellent treatment."
- Jessica of Portland, OR
