Overview

We practice integrative medicine. Integrative medicine embraces many therapies and includes a unique blend of traditional western medicine and holistic medicine. We emphasize holistic therapies based on careful research, proven results and ongoing study. We also embrace the many positive attributes of western medicine such as superb emergency medicine and critical care skill, advanced dental and surgical techniques, effective and safe medicine for infections, arthritis, inflammation, pain and may highly sophisticated diagnostic tools

Dr. Nielsen bought Waite Park Veterinary Hospital in Waite Park, MN in 1979. He practiced all aspects of veterinary medicine and in 1980 began offering alternative cancer therapies. 1987 saw the addition of chiropractic care and acupuncture. In 1990, Dr. Nielsen attended the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association’s annual meeting, which acted as the catalyst in transforming Waite Park Vet Hospital from a strictly traditional Western medicine veterinary hospital into a hospital that practices integrative medicine

Mission — At Waite Park Veterinary Hospital we have made it our mission to provide your pets with a superior level of health care. If we want our pets to have the best quality of life, health care is so much more than merely drugs and surgery. We practice complete integrative health care, which includes the conventional use of drugs and surgery and more non-traditional, holistic medicine
