About Dr. Emily Mangan

Dr. Emily Mangan graduated first in her class from Oregon State University College of Veterinary Medicine. She completed an Equine Medicine and Surgery Internship at the Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center in Leesburg, Virginia, followed by a mixed-animal specialty Integrative Medicine Internship at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida.

Dr. Mangan grew up with traditional Chinese medicine, and always knew she wanted to incorporate it into her practice. She studied acupuncture at the Chi University in Reddick, Florida while in veterinary school, and has since completed additional certifications in Chinese Herbal Medicine, Tui-na (Chinese medical massage), and Food Therapy. She is also certified in both Veterinary Medical Manipulation (similar to human chiropractic) and canine physical rehabilitation, both from the Integrative Veterinary Medical Institute (IVMI). Her training and experience gives Dr. Mangan a unique skillset to provide her patients the best care of body and spirit.

She is an Assistant Professor at Chi University and has published papers and contributed textbook chapters on the subject of traditional Chinese veterinary medicine. She serves on the board of the World Association of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (WATCVM), and is an active member of the American Veterinary Acupuncture Association (AAVA), the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS), the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), the American Association of Equine Practitioner (AAEP), and the Oregon Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA).

Dr. Mangan grew up on a hobby farm in Pleasant Hill, Oregon. She loves hiking and exploring the mountains, forests, and rivers and all of the natural beauty that Oregon has to offer. She shares her life with her orange tabby, her yellow lab, and her geriatric Appaloosa gelding and his pet goat.

Dr. Mangan believes all animals deserve to be treated with kindness and respect, and lives her life in accordance to her values: balance, gratitude, kindness, and service.
