About The Doctors
Dr. Michael Savko is a board certified Doctor of Chiropractic, that works in house, under the direct supervision of licensed veterinarians at several local veterinary hospitals to help enhance the quality of care for large and small animals. He has worked with both people and companion animals since 2000. He is a local “Pittsburgher" who was born, raised, and currently lives just outside of the city. He graduated from the highly regarded New York Chiropractic College in 1998 and has been involved with clinical practice, patient advocacy, and practice management ever since. Because of his extensive training in a variety of different techniques, patients and clients have noted their visits as being extremely versatile and effective. One client exclaimed, “As soon as we started seeing Dr. Savko, the problem started getting better!” The doctor's purpose is to quickly restore optimum health and continue to help each patient stay healthy for life.
People continue to say things like: ”His passionate and professional manner really puts pets and their owners at ease". "He is really there for the animals." "He has been a miracle worker for our family." Since the doctor is always available to address questions, comments or concerns, many people often comment on his "above and beyond efforts”.
Dr. Savko has been an animal lover for as long as he can remember. His VOM training was originally completed in the spring of 2000 after which he worked intensively in house and under the direct supervision of a local licensed veterinary surgeon for about 12 months to receive his VOM certification. He retook the coursework again in 2005 to remain up-to-date with technique enhancements and innovations. When working on animals Dr. Savko enjoys working closely with licensed veterinarians to be sure the patients are receiving the best possible care.
Dr. Savko shares his life with his incredible wife, friend, and divine life soul mate Tracy, as well as their cat Oliver, and dog Brandy. They enjoy quality, quiet time together working or playing inside or outside of their home. Intelligent movies, books, and shows are always appreciated; they both love music and art. While the doctor and his wife feel blessed during all seasons of the year, their souls love the water and the sun most of all, so spending time at the backyard pool in the late spring, summer, into early fall is their great passion!
The doctor can work on everyone from athletes to grandmothers to infants, dogs, cats, horses and everything in between. For companion animals his main service area is Western Pennsylvania but he is able to work nationally as well as internationally depending on local regulations.
