Dr. Jeff Feinman

Bio

Dr. Jeff holds both molecular biology and veterinary degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. He was the first dual degree recipient at Penn in the prestigious University Scholar program (which was designed to foster medical scientists). His scientific experience includes research at The Wistar Institute, Penn's School of Medicine in the Department of Biochemistry (where he first published his scientific research) and the veterinary school's Department of Medical Genetics (where he wrote further scientific articles). In addition his academic career during veterinary school included an externship in endocrinology at the Animal Medical Center in New York City where he was again published in a leading, peer-reviewed veterinary journal. After graduation from veterinary school, Dr. Jeff was selected for a competitive internship in clinical medicine at the Angell Memorial Animal Hospital in Boston. After fourteen months of intensive clinical experience he decided to postpone his planned academic career to help individual patients. In clinical practice he quickly became alarmed by increasing rates of allergy, cancer and other degenerative diseases. Frustration with the results of conventional therapy of these chronic diseases fueled an interest in natural, holistic therapies. His scientific background helped him research and incorporate those natural therapies that were most efficacious into his practice. In 1998 he further advanced his training in Dr. Richard Pitcairn's Professional Veterinary Homeopathy Course. Dr. Jeff then became the first Certified Veterinary Homeopath in the state of Connecticut. He then went on to study with world-renowned human homeopaths Dr. Paul Herscu, Dr. Andre Saine and David Little. Currently his practice integrates the latest, safest, diagnostic techniques and treatments with holistic modalities such as clinical nutrition and homeopathy. • Member: American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association • Past President of The Acad
