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. Her journey from an emergency medical technician/paramedic to an internationally recognized expert in integrative veterinary care is a testament to her unwavering commitment to holistic healing.


From Emergency Medical Technician to Veterinary Visionary


Dr. Siegel's passion for medicine ignited in 1975 when she became an emergency medical technician. Her drive and dedication led her to become the youngest paramedic and the first female paramedic in Florida in 1977. However, veterinary medicine was always her true calling. She earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in 1985.  Dr. Siegel gained valuable experience running an emergency clinic and performing relief services for many veterinary hospitals before establishing her own practice in 1987.

A Journey into Integrative Medicine


In 2004, Dr. Siegel's career took a transformative turn when her show horse, Lilly, and her youngest daughter were involved in a riding accident. Lilly literally saved the child’s life. It was later discovered that Lilly had developed debilitating neck spasms that led to the accident.


Traditionally trained equine veterinarians were unable to offer solutions for Lilly other than retirement or euthanasia.  Unwilling to give up, Dr. Siegel explored alternative therapies, which opened the door to Bioregulatory Medicine (identifying and resolving the root cause of dis-ease). This journey led her to study and incorporate modalities that targeted the biological pathways to restore function. Modalities included ozone, chiropractic, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, energy therapies, low level light therapy, photodynamic therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, halo therapy, full spectrum infrared, sound healing and more into her practice.


The result? An expansive “tool kit” incorporating the best of holistic medicine and western medicine that addresses the root causes of illness rather than just treating symptoms.


Signature Therapies: Moving from Surviving to Thriving


At Pasco Veterinary Medical Center, Dr. Siegel offers a wide range of alternative therapies that go beyond conventional treatments. These are a few of her signature therapies:

  • Ozone Therapy: Harnessing the power of ozone to enhance oxygen delivery and support the body's natural healing processes.

  • Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT): Using specific wavelengths of light to reduce pain, inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration.

  • Photodynamic Therapy: Combining light and photosensitizing agents to target and destroy abnormal cells, particularly in cancer treatment.

  • Detoxification: A holistic approach to purging toxins from the body, crucial for overall health and disease prevention.

  • Lymphatic Therapy: Stimulating the lymphatic system to enhance immune function and facilitate the removal of waste and toxins.

  • Fascia Decompression: Restoring function and balance to the fascia.

  • Hyperbaric Oxygen: Delivers more oxygen to the tissues and improves detoxification.

  • Sound and Frequency: The body is energy. Restoring the normal tissue frequencies enables the innate intelligence of the body.

  • Halo Therapy: Incorporates the use of aerosolized medical-grade salt to improve the skin microbiome and cleans the airways.

These therapies, along with her extensive knowledge of nutrition, Chinese herbs, and emotional healing, form the foundation of Dr. Siegel's integrative approach. Her patients don't just survive - they thrive.

Dr. Siegel's commitment to education is as strong as her dedication to healing. She founded Veterinary Support Staff Training (VSST) in 2006 to introduce lay people to veterinary medicine and provide a pathway into the profession. Her volunteer program further supports students in gaining valuable experience and community service hours.

Recognizing the importance of informed decision-making, Dr. Siegel empowers her clients by educating them about all available treatment options. This collaborative approach ensures that pet parents are active participants in their pet's health journey.
