The experience you and your pet will have when visiting our clinic will most likely be different from previous trips to the veterinarian. The inviting and calm atmosphere helps dogs and cats feel comfortable and relaxed. Because we rarely perform invasive or unpleasant procedures, your pet quickly associates our clinic with a fun, treat-filled experience.

Dr. Elise Radebaugh

Dr. Radebaugh grew up in the mountains of Colorado. Her love for animals began with her family’s two dogs, two ferrets and a cat. She graduated from the University of Oregon in 1998 with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. She received her doctorate in veterinary medicine from Colorado State University in 2004. After graduation, she completed a rigorous one-year internship at a 20-doctor practice near Denver, Colorado. Dr. Radebaugh was trained in medical acupuncture at Colorado State University. This certification program integrates Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with modern knowledge of the nervous system. Her homeopathic study was under Dr. Richard Pitcairn. She has a strong commitment to life-long learning and is always looking for ways to expand her knowledge. Elise enjoys volunteering for Pro-Bone-O, Feral Spay and Neuter Program and SARAs.

She and her husband moved back to Eugene in 2006. They opened Healing Paws Wellness Center in March of 2008. From telemark skiing and snowboarding to fly-fishing and hiking, they love spending time outdoors. They have four furry kids (two dogs and two cats): Rayne, Tucker, Juno and Jackson.

Amy Wolfsen

Amy Wolfsen is a Eugene native who is proud to still call Oregon home. She graduated from the University of Oregon in 1985 with a Bachelor of Science degree in exercise and movement science and a minor in dance. Amy has always been drawn to holistic medicine. She has both studied and used alternative modalities for herself and her family. She has two human kids, Sadie & Nora, and one furry kid, Nesta the cat. She loves exploring nature with her girls, gardening, and dancing (even if it's just in the living room!).

In addition to her interest in holistic medicine, Amy has an extensive background in administration, accounting and customer service. From food service to real estate, Amy has worked in a variety of fields giving her a wealth of knowledge to help our busy clinic run efficiently. As clinic manager, she is responsible for the all the small details, as well as the big picture. Amy is a valuable team member and helps us achieve the vision of our practice.
