Dr. Rosemarie Niznik

Dr. Rosemarie Niznik was raised in Northeastern Pennsylvania. She was admittedly one of those children that new from an early age that she wanted to be a Veterinarian. 

She earned her B.S. in Animal Bioscience at Pennsylvania State University and her DVM from the University of Georgia in 1990. She did a small animal Internship, followed by a number of positions in small animal practices in the Northeastern United States. 

Like many of us, she experienced holistic medicine first-hand while getting treatment for a back injury. She completed the mixed animal acupuncture course at Chi University in 2017, and her holistic education has continued every since. 

Dr. Niznik is also certified in Veterinary Spinal Manipulative Therapy from the Healing Oasis and in Veterinary Food Therapy from Chi University. She has studied Chinese Herbal Medicine and Tui Na at Chi University and is currently enrolled in their Masters Program. She has also served as a Teaching Assistant for both Chi University and IVAS. 

Currently, her clinical work is divided between relief work in allopathic small animal practice and her own holistic house call practice in both Wisconsin and Illinois. 

Please enjoy this conversation with Dr. Rosemarie Niznik as we discuss her education, practice life, activities in organized veterinary medicine, and life outside of work.
