Doctors
Dr. Lynne Dennis
I became interested in acupuncture and holistic veterinary medicine during my 10 years of small animal practice at State College Veterinary Hospital. There were always animals that I wished I could do more for, especially concerning pain control.
After my first acupuncture class I so loved this direction of practice that I studied all of the modalities offered at Chi University and changed my focus to 100% TCVM, eventually adding spinal manipulation, massage and rehabilitation to my practice. I find this combination of medicine incredibly rewarding because I can help many more animals suffering from chronic pain and disease.
My passion for acupuncture and spinal manipulation stretches further than my private practice. I am currently on the faculty for the Veterinary Spinal Manipulative Therapy program at the Healing Oasis Wellness Center in Sturtevant, WI and a teaching assistant for the small animal acupuncture class at Chi University in Reddick, FL. Sharing my knowledge of these modalities with other veterinarians is one of my favorite things to do.
As a veterinarian, my goal is to provide the most appropriate and helpful holistic treatment to my patients to facilitate their comfort, quality of life and longevity. I also enjoy supporting owners by empowering them with appropriate techniques to help their pets at home including massage, rehabilitation exercises, tui-na and acupressure.

Dr. Andrea Lanphear
Prior to going to Vet School, I was a pharmaceutical sales representative in my hometown of Chicago. It was then I realized I needed to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian. I moved back to Wisconsin and enrolled in the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine and graduated in 2001. During vet school, I was selected to work as one of the four students to be on call for the clinical pathology department where I learned to appreciate the importance of diagnostics. This is an invaluable tool for animal health, especially since they cannot speak for themselves!
My holistic interest developed when I was faced with cancer while in veterinary school. I lived a healthy lifestyle: I was a vegetarian, did not eat processed sugar, and rode my bicycle to school, yet felt I needed to do more. This began my studies on herbal support. After being in private veterinary medicine and surgical practice for 6 years, I was inspired to learn different modalities for patient care so I turned to integrated medicine. I became a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist in 2008 from the Chi University. It was during my studies to become an acupuncturist that I met both Drs. Lynne and Dawn. In addition to Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine and veterinary spinal manipulation therapy I enjoy veterinary nutrition and look forward to studying new modalities such as Tui-Na (medical massage) and Joint Yoga. I try to “practice what I preach” so when I had debilitating lower back pain I turned to acupuncture to pull me through it and found that therapeutic yoga keeps my back happy. I receive acupuncture and chiropractic care; therefore, my goal is to be able to offer the same level of care to my patients that is offered to humans. I believe a holistic approach to any living being’s health is paramount and as a holistic veterinarian it is my desire to help animals in this approach. I thoroughly enjoy being part of the harmonyVet team enabling animals to be their very best.
