Dr. Wendy Harley is a Colorado native, she grew up on the front range. She graduated from Colorado State University in 1998. In 2019, she moved to Grand Junction, CO, and in 2021 she started working at VCA Tiara Rado Animal Hospital as our Rehabilitation doctor. About 10 years ago Dr. Wendy Harley took an interest in the benefits of physical medicine, and went back to school in 2013 and received her certifications in rehabilitation and acupuncture. She works with a calming presence, earning her patients trust and following their lead. She helps to support the owners as well by coming up with goals, talking about challenges and fears, and making sure EVERYONE involved is comfortable. Treatments vary but may consist of massage, acupuncture, laser, muscle stimulation, exercises to strengthen and stretch all while intentionally creating a positive experience. Many of her patients love visiting her at the “rehab house” and don’t find it nerve-wracking like a “normal” vet visit!
