Adolf K. Maas, DVM
Dr. Adolf Maas moved back to
western Washington from the Midwest in 2006,
after having worked at many locations over the
last 10 years in the eastern half of the United
States. Originally from the Seattle area, he
attended Seattle Pacific University for his
undergraduate and the University of Washington
and University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary
Medicine for his graduate and veterinary medical
schooling. Since then, he has worked at and
received advanced training at the Pittsburgh
Zoo, Toronto Zoo, Louisville Zoo, the Wildlife
Care Center (Fort Lauderdale), has provided
consultant work for the Indianapolis Zoo and the
Cincinnati Zoo, and was a clinician at the Avian
and Exotic Animal Clinic (Indianapolis, Indiana)
and the Indianapolis Veterinary Referral Center,
one of the highest ranked referral and specialty
facilities in the Midwest. Additionally, until
moving, he was the owner of Exotic and Companion
Animal Veterinary Services, a mobile
exotics-only practice in Indiana, providing
in-home and on-site care to owners of all exotic
animals, ranging from snakes, venomous lizards,
tigers, deer, elk, wolves, mountain lions and
bears to pet birds, skunks, and marine fish.
Dr. Maas has received advanced
training and has extensive experience in
orthopedic reconstruction and surgery, cardiac
and abdominal ultrasonography, rigid and
flexible endoscopy, soft tissue surgery and
internal medicine. He works diligently to
continue to be not only current on advancements
in avian and exotic animal medicine, but also to
further the progress of medicine in these
animals with continued cutting-edge research and
publications. Over the last fifteen years, he
has co-authored research articles ranging from
reproduction in Sumatran Rhinoceri and
ophthalmic surgery in snakes to cellular growth
factor regulation and identification of novel
fungal infections in exotic species.
The Avian and Exotic Animal
Hospital in Bothell, Washington is the
culmination of many years of research and
training and is founded in these basic
philosophies:
-
Always treat each
and every animal no different than if it was
one’s own pet.
-
Always show each
person the respect and consideration that one
would expect if roles were reversed.
-
Always strive to
recommend and provide the best quality
medicine available.
