Dr. Martin Goldstein (Dr. Marty) is considered
by many experts - and thousands of satisfied
clients - to be America’s foremost holistic
veterinarian. The results he has achieved have
been so astounding that today critically ill dogs
and cats from all over the world are brought to
Smith Ridge Veterinary Center where doctors
trained by Dr. Marty give these animals a new
chance at life and health. Many people who
arrive have exhausted all of the available
conventional treatment options and are faced
with a very sick pet who is only getting worse; others are true-believers in
a holistic-only approach to maintaining their animal’s health or treating
their animal’s malady. Regardless of their reason for seeking care, they
usually receive a mind-opening education about natural health that many
ultimately apply to their own lives as well as to the lives of their animal
companions.

Holistic medicine does not truly define how Dr. Marty thinks about or
practices veterinary medicine. The simple idea he has brought to the
profession is the powerful curative effect of combining the best of both
conventional and holistic medicine. The term used is “integrative
medicine” where both types of therapies are combined in a collaboration
for health and against disease.

Through his book,
The Nature of Animal Healing, he provides advice
on a wide range of practical topics central to a pet’s health including why
we shouldn't feed our animals commercial pet food or why vaccines can
actually do more harm than good. When it is time to consider alternative
therapies, the doctors he has trained at Smith Ridge Veterinary Center,
where he is Medical Director, can successfully integrate treatments such
as herbal medicine and homeopathic approaches along with the latest in
high-technology medicine into an overall program for the sick animal.
They handle every imaginable type of condition and they have earned a
reputation for extraordinary success treating cancer and other serious
degenerative diseases that are rapidly on the rise among animals as well
as humans. Dr. Marty has been and continues to be on the forefront of
deciphering the riddle of those killer diseases in order to show us how
best to treat them, as well as how to prevent them from occurring.

Dr. Marty did not invent integrative medicine. He arrived there through a
melding of his veterinary training and early onset health problems of his
own. A classically trained veterinarian who earned his DVM at the Cornell
University College of Veterinary Medicine, a conventional school long
recognized as one of the best, Dr. Marty’s interest in holistic medicine
was sparked several years after graduation when a variety of his own
personal health problems were finally resolved using a natural, non-toxic
approach. It was this life-changing experience that led him to commit
himself to mastering the art and science of integrating holistic methods of
treatment with conventional veterinary medicine.

But there is a side to Dr. Marty not captured by his diplomas or his track
record. He is a unique combination of “ingredients”. Clients who have
had the pleasure of working with Dr. Marty often find him communicating
with their beloved pet with light-hearted squeaky noises and exuberant
touch in a private language only the doctor and animal seem to share.
But both the humans and animals seem to recognize a special hope and
healing in these non-verbal exchanges.

Dr. Marty’s years of intense study and experience, coupled with his
uncanny sense of intuitively “knowing” what is wrong with the animal,
have allowed him to master the art and the science of diagnosis and
treatment. He has been able to categorize what has worked for the
thousands of animals he has cared for into an encyclopedia of natural
knowledge. And fortunately, for dogs and cats and the people who love
them, he has been able to pass along what he has learned to the doctors
at Smith Ridge Veterinary Center. And to pet lovers everywhere through
his book and seminars.
