As Max her rescue dog will confirm her first love is for cats, on which her work has been centered for the past 5 years. However, she now has come full circle returning to her roots in general practice and helping community animals of all types.
Dr Geetha is also a strong believer in alternative treatment modalities such as Reiki ,Essential oils ,Bach Flower remedies and Laser therapy to complement the traditional Western treatment options .
