Dr. Allie Turner DVM, CVA, CCRT, CVMMP

FOUNDER & OWNER

Dr. Allie Turner is a veterinarian specializing in integrative veterinary medicine, with over a decade of experience in sports medicine, performance, and rehabilitation for both Equine and Small animal patients throughout the Bay Area.

She earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Oregon State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2015. After beginning her career in traditional Western veterinary medicine, Dr. Allie developed a strong focus on integrative approaches that support healing, optimize performance, and promote long-term musculoskeletal health.

In 2016, she completed her certification in Veterinary Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine through Chi University, earning her CVA (Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist). She went on to become a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist (CCRT) in 2019 through the Canine Rehabilitation Institute, and in 2023, she became certified in Veterinary Medical Manipulation through both Chi University and the Integrative Veterinary Medicine Institute (CVMMP), allowing her to offer chiropractic care alongside acupuncture and rehabilitation.

Dr. Allie’s practice centers on a comprehensive, whole-body approach to sports medicine, combining acupuncture, rehabilitation therapy, spinal manipulation, and integrative modalities to improve comfort, mobility, performance, and overall quality of life.

She grew up in San Gregorio riding horses and competing in Hunter/Jumper shows, and that early connection continues to shape her work with equine athletes today. In her free time, she enjoys riding her horses, Levi and Rolex, fishing, spending time outdoors with her dog Sis, and enjoying the coast.

Many clients remember her beloved dog, Finn, who was diagnosed with bone cancer at just 1.5 years old. After becoming a tripod, he lived an additional two incredible years filled with adventure and resilience. His journey continues to inspire the compassionate, patient-centered care she brings to every animal she treats.
