Dr. John Langlois, DVM, TCVM
I graduated from the University of Florida Veterinary School in 1981 and have been an exclusive Equine Practitioner in Marion county for 38 years. I have had several associates in my practice during that time. In the early 1990’s I was employed in Australia for 6 months a year for 3 years. During that time I was mentored by a Scottish Veterinarian to do acupuncture on 6 horses which had reproductive concerns. The results were fantastic. I proceeded to find a course of instruction in China but was disappointed with the format and language concerns. I met Dr. Huisheng Xie in Florida1994 as he went on to establish and open the Chi Institute in Reddick, Florida. I began my training there in 2008, studying Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine with disciplines in acupuncture, herbal medicine, Tui-na, (an ancient form of bodywork or medical massage). I have become certified in many of these disciplines as well as Spinal Manipulation or “chiropractic”. Currently, I am completing a 3 year Masters Degree in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine with the completion of my thesis this summer. My Veterinary practice at this time is exclusively in this medicine.
