Dear friends and supporters of Phoenix Rising,

With the approach of spring, Phoenix Rising is going through a period of renewal. We have decided to move out of Harbourview Animal Hospital as of March 31, 2019. While we work to get a permanent holistic space for all our patients, we may have to remain closed briefly. This period of closure may be 2-3 weeks or earlier as we set up a temporary location for the College of Veterinarians to approve.  We hope to finalize and move into our permanent space in 3 months.

Please bear with us for this interruption in service. 

While it is unexpected, in my ever optimistic view of the world, I think it is a giant leap forward as we strive together to heal and care for our pets. We will keep the phone and email open at this time to address all your needs. So please do not hesitate to call or email the lovely Laura that you have all gotten to know so well. 

I thank the lovely staff of Harbourview for working so hard and helping with our patients – Barb, Diana and Suzanne. Thank you to Dr. Lahey for sharing your space with us these 2 months. 

Laura and I are looking forward to creating a perfect space for you and your pets real soon.

Much love from the Phoenix Rising Team – Laura and Dr. Raj

``Dr. Radica saved my girls life. She was totally paralyzed from the neck down. When I took her to the vet they gave me two choices. Put her down or send her to Vancouver for neurosurgery. I called Phoenix Rising and Dr. Radica said she could fix her in Four treatments. Once a week for four weeks. My girl couldn't even stand to pee. She was like a seal. First treatment she could pee!!! She is running and jumping and being a puppy !!!! Thank you Phoenix Rising!!!! I am so forever grateful !!!``

“I love Phoenix Rising! My senior dog is going through aging issues and with our recent move down island pretty sure there's some stress going on. Astro, my reactive old boy who does not love everyone, marched in with purpose today and was so relaxed with a brand new vet! Hopeful that his chiro adjustment will help. Hek loves everyone and is very happy at Phoenix Rising:))”

“Wonderful support for my wee dog Zucci. The pleasant atmosphere and the knowledgeable combination of western and alternative treatments make this clinic unique. See you next week for our next appointment.Yes, it's a BC ferry trip to and from Vancouver island to Powell River but the ferry round trip is actually more expensive in $ than her appointment - go figure!”

``Rave to Phoenix Rising Vet care! Dr Raj. and her staff are AMAZING! My foofy went from not being able to walk because he hurt his back to jumping around and being his almost usual self in 2.5 months just with acupuncture. And not only has she cared for my big goofy foofy but my aging kitty cat as well. When she had to stay over night for 24 hour iv, Dr Raj not only stayed over night at the clinic one night but 2 nights and kept checking on my kitty through out the night. They are fantastic and would refer anyone that wanted to see a vet, to go to them. My dog loves going to see Dr raj and the staff. He gets excited as soon as I pull up into the parking lot and whines until I get him out of the car. Thank you Dr Raj and the staff. You are truly amazing!``

Dr. Radica Raj
DVM

Dr. Radica Raj started practice as a Veterinarian in general practice but soon embarked on a more fast-paced career in Veterinary Emergency Medicine and Critical Care in Ontario.

Within a year of practice in this field she was inspired to start her own emergency facility and subsequently opened a second general practice. While this path provided the stimulus and the challenges she had yearned for, she soon realized that there had to be a better quality of life for terminally-ill patients, for the geriatric patients disabled by osteoarthritis and for the paralyzed patients that could not walk.

Determined to explore these avenues and find answers, she successfully completed her post-graduate diploma in Veterinary Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCVM) with the Chi Institute in Florida. She then completed a program in Animal Chiropractic at Options for Animals in Kansas and obtained an animal chiropractic certification from the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association (IVCA).

She then started Phoenix Rising Integrative Veterinary Care thereby opening the door to an integrative veterinary clinic on Vancouver Island. She ensured that her services were integrative by performing surgery on her patients through another clinic even as she practised wholistic medicine.

Dr. Radica Raj has experience handling emergencies, surgical and internal medicine cases as well as chiropractic, acupuncture, Chinese Medicine and Regenerative medicine i.e. PRP, prolotherapy, etc. On account of this, you will find that she is more than willing to collaborate with your family veterinarian and specialists involved in dealing with your pet’s health.

Her scope of practice includes Internal medicine, Surgery, Emergency, Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine and Regenerative Medicine.

She is now also certified in Canine Rehabilitation.
