Meet Your WagHab Team
Marion Lake, PT, CCRT
Dr. Charlotte Kim DVM, CVA
Dr. Kim has been a veterinarian since 2008. Her passion for holistic medicine started after she lost her heart dog, Simba. As Simba aged, he struggled with arthritis, and Dr. Kim saw firsthand the challenges of caring for an elderly pet with limited treatment options in western medicine. This inspired her to explore holistic veterinary care to help pets live happier, healthier lives.
Dr. Kim acquired her veterinary acupuncture certification through IVAS (International Veterinary Acupuncture Society). Practicing acupuncture and learning about integrative medicine have been her newfound passion.
Every elderly patient she treats reminds her of Simba, and she feels honored to share this journey with pet owners.

Dr. Cassie Lord, DVM, CCAT
Dr. Cassie began working with WagHab in 2023. She completed her certification in canine rehabilitation in 2022 after working in general practice for a decade.
After her dog, Rambler, had surgery on both of his knees, she was able to see first hand how much rehab helped him regain his mobility, allowing him to continue to do what he loved-running and hiking with his people. This led her to pursue her passion for physical rehabilitation and pain management.
She provides comprehensive physical rehabilitation exams and treatments. Dr Cassie shared: “I love physical rehabilitation because it allows us to help pets maintain or regain their mobility, which is such a vital part of the human animal bond. I love that we can help our best friends continue to do what they love and to be an active part of the family.”
During her free time, she can be found outside exploring with her husband-Thomas, two children-Madeleine and Oliver, and two dogs-Rambler and Mica.
