My name is Les Wilner. I have been a small animal practitioner for 33 years. While in my practice, I employed the use of conventional and alternative veterinary medicine. Rather than just relying on treating symptoms, I investigated deeply into possible causes for chronic conditions in my patients. Usually more than office visit time would be needed. Phone discussions with clients were a large part of seeking answers. Often times, the solution to a problem could be found in the pet?s environment or diet.
