New York Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center is proud to welcome Dr. Nina Malik as another new member of our team!!!

Dr. Malik graduated from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2005. After graduation Dr. Malik completed an internship in Small Animal Medicine and Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania. Following her internship, Dr. Malik then began working as an emergency and critical care veterinarian in a specialty hospital.

As an emergency clinican, Dr. Malik encountered numerous patients with chronis diseases, who had reached a clinical plateau with Western medical therapies. Wanting to help, Dr. Malik was trained and certified in Veterinary Acupuncture through the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society. She then completed another internship focusing exclusively on veterinary acupuncture in a holistic hospital in Pennsylvania.

Dr. Malik enjoys all aspects of Holistic Medicine, with particular interest in acupuncture for the treatment of musculoskeletal and neurologic diseases. She enjoys working closely with referring veterinarians and believes that a team approach, integrating Western and Eastern medicine provides the best possible care for the patient.

Dr. Malik will be heading our Integrated Holistic Medicine and Acupuncture Department. To start, Dr. Malik will be available on Tuesdays (12pm - 8pm) and Thursdays (9am - 5pm), with the anticipation of expanding her schedule in the future. Dr. Malik offers clients numerous alternatives to traditional medicine while incorporating both Western and Eastern disciplines. It is Dr. Malik's hope that Integrated Veterinary Medicine is recognized for the benefits it provides.
