Dr. Malik
Dr. Nina Malik received her veterinary degree from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. She completed an internship in Small Animal Medicine and Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania. Upon completion of her internship, she worked as an emergency and critical care veterinarian in a specialty hospital.
While working as an emergency veterinarian, Dr. Malik often encountered patients who had chronic diseases that she wanted to help. These were dogs and cats for example with severe arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, or even paralysis. Often these animals had exhausted their treatment options with traditional Western medicine. This is when she began looking for more tools like acupuncture to help her heal her patients.
Dr. Malik was trained and certified in veterinary acupuncture through the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society. She completed an internship focusing exclusively on veterinary acupuncture in a holistic hospital in Pennsylvania following her acupuncture studies.
She is a member of the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society, the American Academy of Veterinary Acupuncture, and the American Veterinary Medical Association.
Dr. Malik's mission as a veterinarian is to provide quality and compassionate care for small animals through integrated veterinary medicine. She believes in the best advanced Western therapies available and in the ancient healing art of acupuncture. Her goal is to bridge the connection between these two disciplines so that integrated veterinary medicine is recognized for the benefits it provides.
