THIRTY EIGHT years ago today I (Dr. J) opened the door of the Avian & Exotic Animal Hospital for the first time. I saw 5 patients that day and I was the happiest man on the planet. Today, at 38 years, it is the oldest exclusive bird and exotic animal hospital in the world and I still count my blessings every day I walk through the door.

The Exotic Animal Hospital was the hope and dream of my childhood. It never would have been successful without the trust of what has become tens of thousands of you who have put your trust in me, and the doctors and staff at the Hospital, to care for their beloved furry, scaly, and feathered family.

It wouldn't have happened without the help of all veterinarians, especially Dr. Amandine Gillet, an exceptionally talented and caring clinician who has shared the load for 7 years, including tha COVID-19 craziness! All the technicians, receptionists and animal care staff, especially those who have spent almost 4 decades keeping me going in the right direction. Many have become my family giving the greater part of their lives to the hospital: Shelly 33 years, Lisa , my wife, 32 years, and Latisha, 31 years. And I am proud of the many students who have come to the hospital to do externships and internships that have gone on to make huge contributions to avian, reptile and exotic animal medicine. You know who you are! ⁰

If you have a memory of the Hospital, I'd love it if you would share it.
