Dr. Khachatourian "Dr K" grew up in Burbank, CA. He attended Ross School of veterinary medicine on the Caribbean island of Saint Kitts with his clinical year at the University of Illinois. His interest in integrative medicine started early which led him to be trained in acupuncture at IVAS (International veterinary acupuncture society). He also has studied food therapy and herbal medicine, as well as being one of the only veterinarians in Southern California to have extensive training in ozone therapy and prolozone joint injections. Dr. K offers routine veterinary care such as dentistry, surgery, and internal medicine while being able to complement these options with an integrative approach. He looks at each patient and it's individual needs and tries to minimize the amount of drugs and vaccinations used. He focuses on maximizing health by teaching clients about the importance of diet and gut microbiome wellbeing as key to disease prevention. "A healthy gut equals a healthy immune system." Dr. K offers a blend of both eastern and traditional western medicine tailored to the client and patient needs. When not at work Dr K enjoys camping, hiking, beach strolling, and spending time cuddling with his partner Dr. Gray and their dog-children Rumpy and Olive Oil.
