EMARI YOKOTA, DVM, CVA, ACVCHM

Dr. Yokota

From before she could remember, Dr. Yokota has had a passion for healing animals. She learned the value of holistic medicine from her mother, whose interest in naturopathic remedies opened her eyes to the benefits of non-conventional treatments at a very young age.

Only after her cat, Midnight, began to experience severe arthritis did she realize the potential impact she could have on her future patients with holistic therapies. After completing her undergraduate degree at Virginia Tech, Dr. Yokota enrolled at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine because of its high-quality holistic program and its relationship with the Chi Institute of Chinese Medicine (Now known as Chi University). While in veterinary school, she studied and received her Certification in Veterinary Acupuncture (CVA). Soon after, she earned her Advanced Certification in Veterinary Chinese Herbal Medicine (ACVCHM) from the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS).

Dr. Yokota has been practicing integrative veterinary medicine in the Northern Virginia area for over 10 years.  Dr. Yokota founded Well Whiskers to focus on providing much-needed holistic care to pets. Well Whiskers and Dr. Yokota have been recognized by Northern Virginia Magazine for several consecutive years! This honor highlights their commitment to exceptional care and excellence in the community. 

 

We prioritize your comfort and convenience by offering office visits and at-home care. We understand that some patients may face challenges in traveling to our office, whether due to stress or mobility issues. That's why we bring holistic care directly to you, ensuring that everyone has access to the benefits of acupuncture.  Working with your pet's primary care doctor, she continuously strives to find the best aspects of both Western and Eastern medicine to provide the best care for her patients.
