Scott Ford, DVM, Diplomate ABVP-Avian

Dr. Ford caught the “bird bug” as a teenager and was pursuing a degree in ornithology when, in 1989, he learned of the relatively new field of avian medicine. He worked in raptor centers in Alaska and Washington to earn the experience he needed for vet school. He graduated from Washington State University in 1998 and practiced for four years at a small animal, avian, and exotic hospital in Washington. He also volunteered veterinary services to a local wildlife clinic. He then returned to Alaska as the staff veterinarian at the Alaska Raptor Center for two years and later ran his own ambulatory service for birds and exotics in northwestern Washington and assisted Washington Fish and Wildlife in eagle management. He has recently (December, 2006) achieved avian board certification in the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners.
