About Us
About Healing Hands Veterinary Hospital in Carver, MN
Our story begins with the vision of Dr. Carissa Haverly, who dreamed of a place where veterinary care felt safe, inclusive, and empowering for everyone: pets, families, and the people who care for them. Guided by her philosophy, we created Healing Hands Veterinary Hospital as more than a clinic. It is a home for healing, learning, and growth.
We designed every detail with intention. Appointments last 40 minutes, giving us the gift of time to listen closely, answer questions, and provide care that feels personal and unrushed. With separate exam rooms and wards for cats and dogs, visits are calmer and less stressful. Even our choice to move away from a traditional waiting-room model reflects our desire to create a space that feels peaceful from the moment you arrive.
Each service we offer reflects our deep commitment to compassion and science. From wellness and urgent visits to advanced surgery, dentistry, senior support, and end-of-life care, every plan is tailored to honor the unique needs of your pet and the role they play in your family. We believe veterinary medicine should empower you with knowledge while surrounding you with kindness.
As we continue to grow, we hold fast to Dr. Haverly’s founding vision: to provide the highest standards of veterinary medicine in a place where pets and people alike feel truly at home.
