Dr. Meryl Lessinger (cont.)
After her internship, she practiced in Manhattan for 3 years. It was there that she started her work with humane organizations to better the lives of less fortunate pets. She and her husband, Nick, moved to Williamsburg to pursue a dream of providing cutting edge veterinary medicine to the community. She continued her devotion to humane work by becoming the founding Medical Director of what would become the Heritage Humane Society.
Dr. Lessinger is certified in acupuncture and is one of only a few certified canine rehabilitation therapists. She is the primary surgeon at the Animal Clinic and Wellness Center.
Dr. Lessinger and Nick have one daughter, 3 dogs, 5 cats, 2 horses, and 1 bird. In her spare time (what’s that?), she enjoys the challenge of learning dressage and traveling with Nick. A project near and dear to her heart is the Clinic’s Paws for a Cure team that participates annually in the Williamsburg Relay for Life.

Dr. Tracy Lord (cont.)
Dr. Lord has been working exclusively as a holistic veterinarian for the past five years. She uses acupuncture and Chinese herbal remedies, spinal manipulation, nutrition, homotoxicology and other supplements in daily practice with the goal of improving health and well being for her patients. Treatment protocols are patient specific, with an emphasis on quality of life.
Dr. Lord is able to treat a variety of conditions, ranging from the healthy pet whose owners want a more natural approach to health care to arthritis cases, chronic liver or kidney disease, cancer and asthma, just to name a few.
The majority of patients enjoy their treatments and are excited to come back in, once they get used to the routine. Frequently, owners report improvement, not only in the specific problem that they originally sought treatment for, but also in the animal’s overall attitude and condition. Dr. Lord is very excited to be part of the team here at the Animal Clinic & Wellness Center and is looking forward to developing lasting relationships with you and your pets.
