Healing Paws Featured in The Examiner News: A Spotlight on Compassionate, Personalized Veterinary Care in Mount Kisco
We’re incredibly proud to share that Healing Paws Veterinary Center was recently featured in The Examiner News, highlighting our journey as a female-owned, community-driven veterinary practice in Mount Kisco, NY.
A Labor of Love, Built From the Ground Up
Co-founded by Dr. Lindsey Thomas and Dr. Valerie Carril, Healing Paws opened in early 2025 with a clear mission:
To return to a model of veterinary care where trust, empathy, and individual attention are at the heart of every visit.
Our clinic was designed with both pets and people in mind—from calming exam rooms to a welcoming front desk built with the help of friends and family. As The Examiner News reports, it was truly a labor of love, with pizza-fueled furniture builds and local support every step of the way.
Why Healing Paws Is Different
In an age where many veterinary hospitals are being acquired by large corporate groups, we’ve chosen a different path—one focused on transparency, personalized medicine, and community. We’re proud to:
-
Offer longer appointment times to truly listen and educate
-
Keep phones answered by our own team—often directly by us, the doctors
-
Prioritize a family-first culture for both staff and clients
-
Maintain a calming, pet-friendly environment that feels more like home than hospital
A Local, Female-Owned Alternative to Corporate Veterinary Chains
Mount Kisco hadn’t seen a new veterinary practice open in over 40 years. Residents were traveling to neighboring towns to find care. We saw that need—and we stepped in with a vision rooted in personal connection and high-quality care.
As working mothers and longtime colleagues, we’re proud to reflect the growing number of women in veterinary leadership and provide an environment that supports balance, empathy, and growth.
