Veterinarians That Treat Birds
In the Washington DC Area
|
According to the American Board of Veterinary Practioners (ABVP) an
"avian veterinarian" is a veterinarian who is willing to treat birds.
Therefore, any veterinarian can call him/herself an avian veterinarian. A
"certified avian veterinarian" is a veterinarian, who has obtained
certification from the ABVP by providing documentation of at least six
years of significant avian practice experience or a formal residency plus
scientific papers, in addition to a series of examinations. As of March
2003, only 101 veterinarians had been certified worldwide. There are many excellent avian veterinarians that have not yet been certified. Many of these belong to the Association of Avian Veterinarians (AAV). Membership in the AAV, however, infers only that annual dues were paid and does not signify anything more than that. The following list was obtained from personal knowledge and information supplied by BirdsUSA, the ABVP, and the AAV. In the next couple of months, I hope to obtain biographies for each avian vet along with a more complete list. If you know of an avian veterinarian in the Washington, DC area that is not listed, please let me know so they can be included. Those that are certified by the ABVP are indicated in parentheses. Being listed here does not mean that the NCBC endorses these avian veterinarians. It is highly recommended that you attempt to obtain a personal recommendation if at all possible before taking your bird for treatment at any avian veterinarian. |
