Founders of Roots Integrative Veterinary Care

Dr. Adam Lassin, CVA, CVFT

Dr. Adam Lassin is the founder and lead veterinarian of Roots Integrative Veterinary Care, with over 14 years of clinical experience. After earning his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine, he developed a strong interest in integrative medicine after witnessing the limitations of conventional treatments in addressing complex and chronic conditions in pets. Motivated to provide deeper, more effective solutions, Dr. Lassin pursued advanced training in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), becoming certified in acupuncture and food therapy through Chi University. His medical philosophy centers on the belief that proper nutrition and integrative therapies play a critical role not only in treating disease, but also in preventing illness and supporting long-term wellness. Influenced by a lifelong commitment to a cleaner, more holistic lifestyle, Dr. Lassin continues to advance integrative veterinary medicine by blending traditional diagnostics with complementary therapeutic modalities. His work has helped position Roots Integrative Veterinary Care as a trusted resource for progressive, patient-centered veterinary medicine in Austin.

Jessica

Jessica was a co-founder of Roots Integrative Veterinary Care and played an important role in the establishment and early development of the practice. She contributed her experience in emergency and specialty veterinary medicine, along with business and operational support, which helped shape the foundation of Roots. Jessica supported the development of early clinic operations and business systems, helping establish standards for efficiency and quality of care during the practice’s formative years.

Roots Integrative Veterinary Care was founded with the goal of transcending traditional veterinary medicine through a thoughtful, integrative approach to animal health. As demand for integrative pet care in Austin continues to grow, the practice remains committed to expanding responsibly without compromising medical quality or patient care. In an industry that evolves daily, Roots prioritizes staying intentionally small, deeply connected to clients and patients, and grounded in the values that define independent veterinary practices. This commitment allows the clinic to provide individualized, high-level care while preserving the personal relationships that are increasingly rare in modern veterinary medicine. Guided by a philosophy that healing is most effective when traditional and complementary therapies work in harmony, Roots Integrative Veterinary Care continues to advance the field of veterinary medicine. Through innovation, compassion, and dedication, the practice has made a meaningful impact on the lives of pets and the families who love them.
