About
My mission is to empower pet parents & veterinarians
I have over 40 years of experience in the field of veterinary medicine and more than two decades dedicated to pioneering holistic approaches.
My journey into integrative care began 25 years ago following a life-changing event – a riding accident involving my daughter and our horse, Lilly.
When conventional equine practitioners offered a grim prognosis, I refused to give up which led me to explore emerging functional medicine principles.
At the Heart of What I Do:
“Pioneering Integrative Veterinary Medicine”
“Dr. Marlene Siegel is a trailblazer in the field of integrative veterinary medicine, transforming how we care for our animal companions. With a career spanning nearly four decades, Dr. Siegel has dedicated her life to advancing veterinary medicine, seamlessly blending traditional practices with cutting-edge alternative therapies.”
I want to pawsitively impact people, pets and the planet
My Background:
My passion for medicine was fueled in 1975 when I became an emergency medical technician. While going to college, I worked on an ambulance and in an emergency room.
I was the first female paramedic in the state of Fla in 1977. Veterinary medicine is always my first priority, and I fulfilled my life’s passion when I graduated from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in 1985.
I spent the first year post graduation in a 5 doctor small animal and exotic practice. I then accepted a position in a veterinary emergency clinic where I practiced and managed the hospital.
My hospital Pasco Veterinary Medical Center was the first in Florida to offer ultrasound telemedicine, and the second hospital to offer class 4 laser therapy, the first on board with digital radiography, and I continue to strive to stay cutting edge in the profession.
I began VSST- Veterinary Support Staff Training in 2006. It is a program that teaches lay people an introduction to veterinary receptionist and veterinary technician assistant, enabling them to get an idea of what the profession requires and a foot in the door for those seeking a career in veterinary medicine.
My interest in alternative medicine led me to become a Certified Natural Health Professional in 2012. The knowledge and skills derived from this certification has added immeasurable value to my practice.
