In 1984-1985 he completed a residency in Internal Medicine at the Veterinary Hospital at the University of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Siegler is passionate about animal welfare. He was on the board of directors for PAWS for three years and volunteered at Pasado’s Safe Haven for homeless and abused animals for several years.
He also enjoys continually learning about therapies to help animals feel better and thrive. He subscribes to both animal and human health journals to stay up to date on the latest available research and products.
He has taken and continues to take courses in ozone therapy and is certified by O3Vets.

Dr. Siegler’s approach to veterinary care is rooted in integrative medicine, combining the best of conventional and integrative therapies to support and maintain each patient’s long-term health.
Focusing on nutrition, using biologically appropriate raw and gently cooked diets, and minimizing vaccines are stressed.

With his knowledge in Chinese medicine, homeopathy, nutrition, Western herbs, nutraceuticals, ozone, and allopathic medicine (with plans to incorporate mistletoe therapy)  Dr. Siegler is able to determine the most effective path to health for your pet.
